RTMA will remain open from 8:00am until 6:00pm daily Monday thru Friday. No Saturday classes to accommodate the needs of our members and staff. Our facility's design allows for the appropriate separation of children based on the current government recommendations. We will continue to care for your children and provide a safe and clean environment.

We do ask that any child exhibiting signs of fever or illness remain home. As our members already know, we are always cleaning and we will continue to step up our disinfecting efforts even more. RTMA is a welcoming mixed martial arts academy teaching the fundamental and advanced techniques of Atemi Ryu Jujitsu, Krav Maga, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, and Tai Chi.

At the center of our philosophy is the concept of interaction between opposing forces - yin and yang - to achieve balance and harmony in life. While reaching the black-belt level is often a primary goal, it should be the beginning of a lifetime journey and your continuing study of martial arts. Learning to apply the underlying philosophy to all aspects of your life and work is the greatest benefit of all.
Richmond Traditional Martial Arts is a prestigious martial arts studio in Mechanicsville, Virginia. We also serve students from surrounding areas Hanover, Henrico, and Glen Allen. Our school is fun and friendly, we invite you to come train with us! Learn more about our classes and program then come visit us for a trial lesson.
At RTMA we teach children's classes in Tae Kwon Do. Tae Kwon Do is a popular martial art for children because it is so well rounded in the fundamental techniques of kicking, hand strikes, and blocks. A strong foundation in the fundamentals is critical for your child to be able to excel in our Adult Classes when they reach the age of 14.
Atemi Ryu Jujitsu is different from similar disciplines in a few ways, beginning with the shorter amount of time necessary to become confident in this self-defense system. Masters of this discipline tend to focus on the basic, practical aspects of the art. This leads to the second distinction between Atemi and other methods taught in a more traditional jujitsu class: flexibility.
Krav Maga is a form of hand-to-hand combat developed by the Israel Defense Forces that is now used by members of the American military as well as members of law enforcement agencies. One of the primary goals of this fighting and defense method is the ability to disarm an opponent to reduce the impact of an attack.

Great teachers! Been here for a few months and the place has really grown on me. Thought It would be boring at first but made some friends and now visit the place twice a week for class.

Professionalism, courtesy, and a dedication to your learning process has been this dojo's TOP PRIORITY! I always feel welcome, the classes are smaller for a more intimate learning experience, and every attempt is made to meet your needs. Grandmaster makes it a point to talk to everyone that comes into the dojo. The teachers work good with the kids and adults alike. Time is taken to help you learn and your not rushed to become just another nameless student. This has been the most professional and fairly priced martial arts school i have ever attended. I give praise and eternal thanks to all who
