Clear coaching
Every class should explain what students are doing, why it matters, and what success looks like for that day.
About Last Round Martial Arts
A Skowhegan martial arts gym focused on clean coaching, structure, and steady progress.
Last Round Martial Arts is Skowhegan's beginner-friendly BJJ, kickboxing, and MMA gym for kids, teens, adults, and competitors. Every class is meant to feel welcoming, well-coached, and clear from the start.
Local focus
This is a Skowhegan gym first: built for local families, first-timers, and committed students who want a place to keep showing up.
Pre-opening honesty
The site is intentionally clear about what is available at launch, what is still being finalized, and how the waitlist works.

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.
