Rhino Martial Arts
Rhino Martial Arts - 3 Programs Defined
Modern Combined Martial Arts- Programs covering Ages 3 to Adult
Rhino Martial Arts (RMA) is the premier martial arts offering in our lineup. It is the same Fun and Family Friendly approach that has been so successful since 2005; now with a powerful and unique curriculum founded on the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) adapted to civilian life, combined with Tae Kwon Do (TKD) and Brazilian JiuJitsu (BJJ) and others, all taught from a Christian Warrior Ethos perspective. While this is NOT a CBBA program, it is inspired in the same spirit of excellence, and built by veterans.
This curriculum is inspired by 3 martial arts critical to effective self-defense: Tae Kwon Do (TKD), Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP), and Brazilian JiuJitsu (BJJ), as well as a modern application of weapons and self-defense tactics. It is designed to equip youth and adults with the tools they need to effectively defend themselves in most common self-defense situations from stand-up fighting, to the clinch, to the ground, armed or unarmed with the most common weapons of today- all taught from a Christian Warrior Ethos perspective. All programs draw from the same set of martial arts techniques, and are created in age appropriate ways, designed to integrate in later programs as the student grows.
The 9 principles promoted by Rhino Martial Arts are:
Courage | Honor | Commitment |
Courtesy | Integrity | Loyalty |
Respect | Perseverance | Self-Control
Christian Worldview
All martial arts training is approached with a Christian Worldview towards self-defense, a Christian curriculum, Christian Instructors, and an attitude of love and grace. No bullies.
Family Friendly
Classes meet ONCE A WEEK with Instructors. ONLINE curriculum and practice routines are tools that make at-home practice reasonable and expected. Training schedules and Tuition costs are designed to be family-friendly. We want families to train together- self-defense is a lifelong practice. Training can be found for ages 7 and up. We regularly hear about how families training together is a priceless bucket-list experience for them. Earn your black belt with your children!
