BETTER HEALTH - BETTER DEFENSE - BETTER LIFE

 

PMA is not a gym where individuals train in relative isolation; it is a community. Our instructors work hard to get to know each individual, and work to accommodate their personal needs.

We are based in the philosophy of developing the Body, Mind and Spirit through the traditional Martial Arts Way of Life.  This includes development of physical and cerebral self-defense skills, improvement of stamina and physical health, development of concentration and focus and expansion of self-control and social awareness.

 

PMA is a university of the martial arts, and we maintain the highest standards of respect, courtesy and professional training.  Our students train with each other, and not against each other.   From our students we expect kindness, integrity, respect, loyalty, humility, and a warrior mentality.

 

The primary focus of our curriculum is the continual improvement and development of all of our students.  We believe that on our training mat there is never an opponent but many training partners.  We all train and sweat together for the shared goal of improving everyone’s ability. We train like a family and believe the strength of the PMA family is each individual member and the strength of each member is the PMA family.

 

Age, gender, current fitness level or athleticism are not factors in starting martial arts training.
