Who this gym is for
Last Round is for Skowhegan families comparing options for their kids, adults who have never stepped on a mat and want a clear place to start, and anyone who has trained before but still wants a room that stays organized and respectful. If you want structure without ego, honest expectations, and space to grow at your own pace, you belong here.
What the gym stands for
Train with structure. Treat people well. Build skill that lasts.
Classes should feel beginner-friendly without feeling watered down, with standards that keep people safe and coaching that respects both families and serious students.
The goal is simple: clear expectations, practical instruction, and an environment where new students are welcomed, families feel comfortable, and committed students have room to grow.
Safety first
Beginners should not be thrown into intensity they are not ready for. Control, hygiene, and respectful partner behavior set the baseline.
A room people return to
The goal is long-term consistency for Skowhegan families, hobbyists, and competitors, not one hard week that burns people out.
Trust details
The details a parent, beginner, or serious student actually cares about.
New students and families want to know what class feels like, how the room is run, and what the first step looks like.
What a first class looks like
Expect a coached warm-up, clear technique instruction, partner drilling, and controlled live training introduced at the right pace for the class.
Why families can trust the gym
Head coach Jake is a BJJ black belt and former Cage Titans amateur MMA competitor with 18 years across BJJ, MMA, and kickboxing, plus three years coaching kids at The Foundry in Farmington. Families get that depth behind beginner-safe structure, clean space, and a room kept respectful and accountable.
