Trained here a few times while visiting family and couldn’t get enough! Excellent atmosphere and everyone was super nice and welcoming, some even remembered my name after a single visit after months! All around great team I will definitely be returning here whenever I’m in the area!
During my time in JC, I really enjoyed this dojo: a few places are as welcoming while remaining proficiency focused. For a beginner like myself, and the pace was just right: fast enough to introduce new skills without overwhelming you. The feeling of camaraderie was palpable. Regardless if you are a people's person or keep to yourself, there is a place for you at TRA. Thiago (the owner) and his assistants are world-class martial arts fighters: you'll learn from the best. The schedule offers options to match yours. The gym also offers complimentary MMA/Muay Thai classes if you'd like to branch out into striking. I attended them as well, they did wonders to my confidence! 5/5
