Seven years ago today, on the back porch of The Bluegrass in Olde Town Arvada, Rocky Mountain Martial Arts Front Range was born.
A conversation. A handful of families. And a belief in what martial arts could mean in people's lives.
Seven years later, our little Broomfield dojang is still here, and what a year it has been.
RMMA Front Range officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We've received grants that are expanding access to martial arts, civic engagement, and opportunities for young people. We've provided scholarships, invested in our instructors, welcomed new families, and continued building toward something we believe deeply: finances shouldn't determine a family's access to training, competition, and community.
And that feels particularly important right now.
Families are carrying a lot. We see it every week. More than ever, we believe in the value of places where people know one another, show up for one another, expect something of one another, and make room for people to belong.
Over seven years, hundreds of people have been part of RMMA Front Range. Some still train with us every week. Some were here for a season. Some have taught, donated, volunteered, partnered, referred a family, opened a door, or simply cheered us on.
You are ALL part of this story.
And now there are kids who first walked through our doors when they were tiny who are becoming young adults and leaders themselves.
Seven years later, that still gets me. All the feels.
Thank you for being part of RMMA Front Range, however and whenever you've been part of it.
Happy 7th anniversary to our little Broomfield dojang.
Wahoo! We're just getting started.
