What should I bring to my free introductory lesson?
Just bring comfortable workout clothes like shorts and a t-shirt. Please avoid zippers and buttons if possible. Everything else you will need we will supply for you during the intro class. If you’d like to enroll in one of our programs afterward, you may do so with a check or any major credit card. So, come on in, we’ll be expecting you. Just let the person at the desk know you are there for your free intro lesson.
What does the introductory lesson involve?
It is okay to be nervous before doing anything new. But, there is absolutely no need to be when coming in for your free introductory lesson. The introductory lesson is a great opportunity for you to learn exactly how our programs can help you achieve your martial arts and fitness goals in a hands-on environment. There is absolutely no pressure to perform at a certain fitness or technical level. Just give it your best. That’s all our Coaches will ask and remember, you’re only competing against yourself. Our top instructors will guide you through lessons on the basics of Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts in an easy-to-understand manner. About 99% of our new students have absolutely NO background in martial arts, so all of our introductory lessons are designed to build up your martial arts and fitness levels from the ground up. We will get you to work up a light sweat through exercises at your own pace, so please bring athletic apparel or any other gear you may be comfortable working out in. We will have everything else that you will need for your first lesson at Snake Pit U.S.A. MMA, so beyond that just bring an open mind and ANY questions you may have about our programs and we will gladly supply the rest!
How do I become a Fighter?
Competition at Snake Pit U.S.A. MMA Academy is open to ANYBODY dedicated enough to the rigors of competition-oriented training. Some choose to compete and some do not have the desire to do so. Either way is completely fine with us. However, we will all train to the same standard. You do not need a stellar athletic background in order to become a fighter, although we do require a “never-give-up” attitude and the discipline and patience to achieve a certain level of mastery in combat sports. There is no difference between the curriculum for a fighter and the curriculum for a “regular” student. In fact, ALL of our students are trained to be good fighters–some just choose to take that next step and actually step into the ring. Before actual full-contact competition, our students will have a chance to refine their skills in controlled, live sessions like full-contact Muay Thai/Boxing sparring, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Judo and of course Mixed Martial Arts sparring. We will build your experience and comfort levels up to the point where stepping into the cage or ring is safe and, ultimately, allows you to demonstrate the awesome skills you have developed as one of our elite competitors. But, please remember, becoming a fighter doesn’t happen overnight. Certainly, we’ve had many students begin competing in large events in as little as 6 months of training, but attendance must be good and some people take more time than others. Either way, you will be a part of a very special team and family and you will have the opportunity to support the other fighters in the meanwhile.
Why should I train at Snake Pit U.S.A. MMA Academy as opposed to somewhere else?
Certainly, it is your choice to choose where you train. Do your homework. Our academies around the world have won 22 Grappling Team Championships! It sells itself. If you decide it is not for you after your free introductory lesson, we completely respect that. Why do we think our academy is the best place to train? Well, any academy that can build champions in the most elite Mixed Martial Arts Competitions would be a good sign they have good instruction. We’ve served thousands of members since our inception and 99% would have great things to tell you about our programs including how much weight they lost while they were here and how much confidence they gained as a result of their training with us. We have an elite staff that is not only professional, but courteous and friendly. We pride ourselves in our customer service and treat all of our members as our extended family. We offer a myriad of programs with anything you could possibly want to accomplish in the martial arts and fitness and have experts in each area as trainers. Just take a look at our programs page and you’ll see what we are talking about. But, perhaps the best way for you to see what separates our academies from the next is to try our free introductory lesson! There is no obligation and any other training center that is truly confident in their programs should offer you a similar opportunity.
