Kensington's Neighborhood Martial Arts Academy

For Kensington adults, Rising Tide MoCo MMA is practically the neighborhood gym — eight minutes up Connecticut Avenue to Randolph Road. What you'll find there is anything but ordinary: full adult programs in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, taught by coaches who take beginner development seriously.

Proximity changes everything in martial arts. The members who improve fastest are the ones who train three or four times a week, and that consistency is easy when the academy is eight minutes away. Kensington members pop in for 6:30 AM sessions before work, lunch classes, or evening training — whatever the week allows.

Start with whichever program intrigues you, or sample them all — one membership covers everything. Our fundamentals classes assume zero experience, and the Kensington members already on the mats will tell you the hardest part is walking in the first time. After that, the curriculum takes over.
