Never Trained Before? Start Here.

If you have never done martial arts before, this page is for you.

You do not need experience.
You do not need to be fit.
You do not need to know the difference between boxing and jiu-jitsu.

You just need to show up.

At Monarchy MMA, we created a structured starting point for adults and teens (14+) who are completely new to training.

Before joining regular classes, you begin with a Day One Initiation session.

These sessions are:

  • Semi-private

  • Beginner-only

  • On demand

  • Free trial available

  • Focused on fundamentals

Why We Do It This Way 

Walking into a full class as a beginner can feel overwhelming.

You may wonder:

  • What if I slow everyone down?

  • What if I do not understand anything?

  • What if I am not fit enough?

  • What if everyone else is advanced?

The initiation class removes that pressure.

You learn:

  • Basic stance and positioning

  • How to move safely

  • How to train with a partner

  • Gym etiquette

  • How our classes are structured

So when you enter regular classes, you feel confident and prepared.

Choose Your Path 

All Day One sessions are split into two tracks depending on what you want to train.

You do not need to be certain about your long-term choice.
This simply helps us guide you correctly from the beginning.

  • Give more attention to each beginner

  • Ensure you get a proper introduction
