Team RAM is a new and upcoming Mixed Martial Arts competition team on track to turning out pro fighters. Competition training is handled very different that our regular instructional classes. We expect serious commitment from our team members. Training sometimes six days per week with physical conditioning and full-contact sparring. Many times our newest team members are in a support role until the time they prove dedication and commitment to the team and to training.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a fast growing sport incorporating throws, grappling, and submissions. You must have minimum of fifty hours of training before entering a Jiu Jitsu tournament with permission of our head instructor.Mixed Martial Arts
Even though many consider MMA to be a fairly new sport Team RAM has been active in competition for a number of years. Our involvement in MMA dates back to the beginning of the MMA phenomenon. It takes dedication and respect to be successful in this type of competition and we expect nothing less from our Team members. Renaissance Academy members who are interested in this high level of training must first show the proper attitude of respect before being considered to be a part of our team. Also, one must complete 1year of Muay Thai training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training before being considered to compete in such a hazardous type of event. This increases your probability for success. This is why our Team is turning out quality amateurs. Getting in the ring to quick is a great way to always be an amateur.RAM PROGRAMS
