The Strength & Conditioning class was tough especially for someone with a doughy center and rice crispy joints. But Coach Josh was good at motivating the class and helpful in improving our form! I was intimidated to join the Women's Jiujitsu but the class is small, everyone is welcoming, and Coach Haley does a great job being patient with beginners. Josh and Haley also teach the Toddler Jiujitsu class which my 3 year old loves. A no frills gym with a strong sense of community.

I've been going to CAYA for about 2.5 years now. The owner Kati and all of the coaches are amazing! The gym offers a free week trial before you sign up which is more than most places who only offer one class for their trial. I don't have kids but if you do I highly suggest you bring them here! They have classes for all ages starting at 3 years old. The kids absolutely love Coach Josh and Coach Haley! All of the coaches truly care for the students at the gym. The community here is amazing and I'm so lucky I found this gym!

We absolutely love this gym, coaches are great and the owner Kati is so friendly and courteous. Very kid friendly here and my daughter loves the self defense class. She loves coming here and always looks forward to working with Coach Josh and Coach Hailey. The women’s bjj class is awesome as well! Everyone is so nice and welcoming here, we truly appreciate having this gym in our community.

Been training since 2020 here. Good staff, great variety of classes. 6 am is great for the working folks. Kids program is great, 5 year old daughter takes class with Josh, he does a great job. Recommend anyone needing a home gym near or in Rockwall.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at CAYA Martial Arts. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! CAYA Martial Arts welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at CAYA Martial Arts train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
