Martial Arts Class
Schedule in Clovis, CA.

Two to three classes per week is the standard for meaningful progress. One class per week keeps a student in the routine but tends to slow advancement significantly because the time between sessions allows too much technique to fade. Three classes per week is ideal for students who are serious about advancement, want to compete, or are working toward a specific belt milestone. Attendance at that frequency also builds the kind of discipline and commitment that transfers to everything outside the gym. Students who can only make one class per week are still welcome and will still improve, but they should set expectations accordingly and communicate with the instructor about realistic advancement timelines.

Active members can drop into any eligible class without advance registration, subject to available space. For specialty events and workshops where capacity is limited, advance sign-up is required and will be noted clearly on the event listing. Prospective students in their trial period follow the same drop-in rules as active members within their enrolled program. First-time visitors who have not yet started a trial are always welcome to watch any class from the observation area without registration. To actually train, booking a trial spot first ensures you are in the right class at the right time.

Missed classes can be made up by attending any equivalent class offered that same week. A student who misses their Monday Juniors MMA class can make it up at the Wednesday or Friday session in the same age group. Makeup classes do not carry over to the following week. For students missing an extended period due to illness, injury, or travel, we offer the option to pause or credit the membership. Contact the front desk directly to arrange this. We do not run a strict no-makeup policy because life happens, but the makeup window exists specifically to keep students consistent rather than allowing them to skip without consequence.

The academy closes on major federal holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. During holiday weeks such as the week of Thanksgiving or the week between Christmas and New Year's, we typically run a reduced schedule with morning classes only. All changes are posted to our Facebook and Instagram pages at least 48 hours before they take effect, and active members receive an email notification. Holiday schedules are also posted at the front desk at the start of each month. When in doubt, call (559) 477-2053 or check social media before driving in on a day you are uncertain about.

Belt testings are held approximately every three to four months and are announced at least two weeks in advance. Students are nominated by their instructor when they have demonstrated the technical competency, attitude, and consistency required for the next rank. Testing is not on a fixed calendar, it is based on individual readiness, so two students who started the same day might test at different times. When a testing is scheduled, it is listed on the events page and communicated to nominated students and their families directly. Family members are encouraged to attend testings since they function as both a performance and a celebration.

Each event listing on this page includes an RSVP or registration link. Clicking it takes you to a short form where you enter the student's name, age, and program. For paid events like summer camp, payment is collected at the time of registration. For free events and workshops, the RSVP helps us manage capacity and prepare appropriately for the number of attendees. You can also register in person at the front desk or by calling (559) 477-2053. We confirm all registrations by email and send a reminder 48 hours before the event.

Most events are open to family members as observers or participants depending on the event type. Belt testings actively welcome and encourage family attendance and we hold them at times that work for a typical family schedule. In-house tournaments include a family viewing area. Parent workshops are specifically for family members rather than students. Summer camp is a drop-off program so parents are not present on the mat, but are invited to the final session for a brief showcase. Event listings specify family attendance rules clearly so there is no ambiguity before you arrive.

Yes, and we actively encourage it. Walk in during any business hour, tell the person at the front desk you would like to observe a class, and they will show you to the viewing area and let you know when the next relevant class begins. No appointment needed. No pressure to sign up during the visit. Watching a real class in progress is the most accurate way to evaluate whether the instruction quality and culture match what you are looking for. We prefer that families observe before committing rather than joining and discovering a mismatch later.
