Q. I want to make a career out of fighting. Can you help me?
A. Yes we can. That’s our business. If you haven’t fought before, we will start you in the Amateurs. If you are successful in the Amateurs, we will turn you Pro. If you are a Pro already, we have a great team of other Pros for you to work with.
Q. Do you have professional management available?
A.Yes, we have outstanding Professional mgmt. headed by Jeff Clark. Jeff is one of the top managers in the industry. He can guide you through every step of a Pro career.
Q. I’m a great trainer as well as a competitor. Are you hiring?
A. We have a lot of great instructors here already, but feel free to email us your resume.
Q. I want to visit from out of town. Do you offer housing?
A. We don’t offer housing ourselves, but there are plenty of hotels and youth hostels located nearby. Just go to tripadvisor.com to research the ones closest to The Arena.
Q. I love all your different Arena t-shirts. How do I get one?
A. You can come by the gym (we don’t sell them online or by mail order) and buy one of our regular Arena Tees. But our Team shirts are not for sale. Instead, they have to be earned.
Q. Do you have a childrens program?
A. Sorry, not at this time. We do take teenagers 13 and over, but a parent needs to sign a consent waiver for them.
Q. I don’t see women in the photos on your website. Is The Arena just for men?
A. We do train women. One in particular is the #1 Female Fighter in the world, Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos. However, since we don’t offer “Cardio” classes, we are not for everyone. Instead, our mission is to teach people to fight. Because of this focus, 99% of our members are male, 50% are active duty military, and the average age is 22. At The Arena, our students are all treated equally. This means, among other things, you will be expected to fully participate in class and you will receive contact in these classes. If you’re good with that, come on by.
