How many people do we need for a group rate?

Fewer than most people expect — a small group of friends who'll train together counts. Send us your rough number through the form on this page and we'll tell you exactly what it looks like for your size. There's no obligation and we'll give you a straight answer either way.

Does our chapter or organization have to pay for this?

No. The way most groups train here, every member signs up and pays their own way, and the group rate applies to all of them. Nothing goes through your organization's budget, nobody has to sign on its behalf, and there's nothing for a treasurer or office manager to administer. If your organization does want to cover its people, that's available too — but it's an option, never a requirement.

What happens when someone joins or leaves the group?

New people can join at any time and get the same rate. If someone leaves — graduates, moves, changes jobs — they cancel their own membership and nobody else is affected. That's the main reason we prefer members paying individually: your roster can change without anyone having to renegotiate anything.

How do you verify that someone is part of our group?

Your group gets one shared code. Members type it into the “Promo code” box when they sign up and the group rate is applied on the spot. That's it — nothing to upload, no roster to keep current, and nobody has to prove anything twice. The code carries a seat count and an end date, so it can't spread past your group or outlive your arrangement.

What if someone forgets to enter the code?

Just tell us. We can apply the rate to their account afterwards — it isn't lost because they missed a box. It's simplest when they enter it up front, but it's fixable either way.

Can our organization be invoiced directly instead?

Yes. We can cover a set number of seats billed to the organization on one monthly invoice, with a private link your members use to join. You'll be able to see who's enrolled and change the roster as people come and go. Ask about covered seats through the form and we'll walk you through it.

Do you offer annual arrangements?

Get in touch and we'll talk it through. We want to make sure the terms are right and clearly written before anyone signs anything, so it's a conversation rather than something we sell off a page.

Does everyone in the group have to train together?

Not at all. The rate follows the member, not a specific class — everyone comes to whichever classes fit their schedule. Most groups end up overlapping on a couple of nights a week because they want to, not because they have to.

Do we need any experience?

No. Most people who come in as part of a group have never trained before, which is honestly the easiest way to start — everyone is equally new. Classes are built for beginners and nobody spars on day one.

Why Groups Train Better

Training with people you already know is the single best predictor of whether someone is still on the mats in six months. That's most of why group rates exist here. A team, a crew from work, a unit, a chapter, a handful of friends — when you show up together, you keep showing up. Attendance stops being a matter of willpower and starts being a matter of not letting the group down. We would rather price for that than fight it. How it works is simple: tell us who your group is and roughly how many people, and we'll come back with a rate. Most groups run on the group rate below — each member signs up and pays their own way, and the group rate is applied to every one of them. There's nothing for your organization to sign, budget for, or administer. If your organization does want to cover its people — an employer, a department, a team with a budget — we can do that too, billed to the organization on one invoice. Both paths are open, and we'll tell you honestly which one fits your situation better. MKJ Academy is at 120 Thompson Dr Ste 120, Norman, OK 73069, serving Norman, Moore, Noble and the greater Oklahoma City metro. We teach Brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling and Muay Thai kickboxing to complete beginners through competitors, with Cristiano Marcello black belts on the coaching staff.

How your group code works

We send you a code

Once we've agreed a rate for your group, you get a single shared code — something short and obvious like your team or chapter name. Pass it round however you normally talk to each other.

Members enter it when they sign up

There's a “Promo code” box on the last step before payment. Your members type the code there. That's the whole verification step — nothing to upload, no roster to keep updated, nothing anyone has to prove twice.

The rate applies automatically

The group rate is applied at checkout and keeps applying every month for as long as they train — not just the first month. Your code carries a seat count and an end date, so it can't quietly spread beyond your group.

A wellness benefit people actually use. Far more of your team will keep coming back to a martial arts class with colleagues than will keep using a gym stipend on their own.
