I absolutely love the BJJ classes here. The instruction is excellent, the staff is friendly, helpful and well organized and the facilities are great. All this comes together to create an environment where the students help each other learn and improve. It is this that really does it for me. PAMA is not just a place to train, it is a community of friends. BJJ is hard. It can be demoralizing. Having helpful, encouraging friends to train with is what keeps me coming back. It is this that will push me to finally get that black belt some day.

I love coming here. I have improved my Muay Thai technique. A lot of experienced students in the class make sparring fun. Beyond all of this PAMA is a community.

Great place to train and has the largest media presence I've ever experienced in any of the BJJ gyms I've trained at. That is a good thing because it lets you know what you are signing up for and makes the gym culture available to see online. And it is a great culture which is very friendly and welcoming of new students and has a desire to see people continuously improve whether it is BJJ or Muay Thai.

I recently moved to the area and dropped by to check out the bjj classes. I've been training bjj for the better part of a decade and can say without a doubt that this has been one of the most welcoming gyms I've ever experienced. Great instruction with a good mix of belt levels that gives everyone an opportunity to learn.

I like to get to know a school for a while before giving a review. That said, I've been training in PAMA's BJJ program for about a year now. I came to this school as a 2 stripe blue belt and have had training from several different places over the years. I can say honestly that the Pendergrass brothers have succeeded at creating and continuously cultivating an amazing environment for learning. You feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. And regardless of whether you've never trained before or have been training for decades, there is something here to learn and grow in for everyone. The instructors are patient, love what they do and can break down concepts in ways anyone can understand. The culture here at PAMA is consistently positive and inclusive. Classes are organized well and more experienced students (upper belts) are always willing to help those looking for guidance. If you're looking for a place to train, just stop by PAMA and see for yourself.

The professionalism of the staff is unmatched. All of the instructors are great with kids. Both of my kids love being here.

This is a great to train both mind and body in the art of BJJ. The main instructors, Guy and Rob, are knowledge and care about their students. I was particularly impressed that they (and other instructors) already knew my name despite not having formally introduced myself to them. That’s a little thing, but it meant they want to know who is coming to their facility. As well, the other students, particularly the upper belts, are great training partners. In my experience, they know when to go hard and also when to help a beginner out. PAMA is an excellent place to train and to be a part of a community looking to improve themselves on and off the mats.

How To Armbar Attack off of a Kimura Attack

March 21, 2019

Join Professor Guy and special guest Professor Boo as they demonstrate another How To. This weeks’ How To is an Armbar Attack off a Kimura Attack. Subscribe to our YouTube channel, click on the bell to get our new videos each week.

Today we’re going to show you a really simple Armbar Attack off of a Kimura Attack. In a previous video we started off in a Sideways Kimura and that’s going to be the attack that’s going to lead into this one.

Isolate Arm

So in this particular technique, we’re starting off in side control. So, once I’m there, I’ve got to be able to isolate his left arm. And as I come around I’ve got to be able to turn him sideways, switch off and get my kimura grip.

Turn him sideways

Now some guys are really strong, they use both arms to defend against an armbar. There are ways to get around this, but with this one, we’re going to make sure that we put this knee up (left knee).

Left knee up

I’m going to use the momentum of me falling back to help break the grip, and I’m going to put my left knee into his ribs. I’ll leave my right leg over his head as I fall back for the armbar so that way I get a nice full Juji-gatame. So when I’m here, I’ve got this knee up. As I transition, I’m going to turn perpendicular to his body. My left knee is going to transfer to the ribs and I’m going to fall back at a perpendicular angle, creating a lot of momentum here to attack for the armbar.

Switching grip to Monkey Grip

Now, you can’t hold onto the Kimura Grip 100% of the time. Around 80% into this technique you’re going to have to switch and get your two monkey grips to finish the armbar here.

Ok, guys? So, that is a really simple Armbar Attack off of a Kimura. Whether you want to bypass the Kimura or go straight to it. Or possibly, he’s defending the Kimura, so you decide to switch to the secondary attack which is this armbar. Thanks, guys!
