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.

Unleashing Female Warriors: 5 Amazing Advantages of Martial Arts Training for Women

July 14, 2023

Hey ladies, are you ready to unlock your inner warrior? Martial arts training isn’t just for the guys anymore. There are numerous benefits that martial arts can offer women, from boosting confidence to developing self-defense skills. So, gear up, tie that belt, and let’s dive into the exciting world of martial arts training for women!

1. Empowerment and Self-Confidence

Martial arts training provides a powerful boost to self-confidence. Through dedicated practice and mastering new skills, martial artists gain a sense of empowerment that extends far beyond the training mat. As you progress and conquer challenges, you’ll discover newfound belief in yourself that permeates other aspects of your life. Whether it’s acing that important work presentation or asserting yourself, martial arts empowers you to take charge with self-assuredness.

2. Self-Defense and Personal Safety

In an unpredictable world, learning self-defense is crucial for everyone, especially women. Martial arts equips you with the techniques and skills necessary to effectively protect yourself. You’ll learn to leverage your body’s strength and develop heightened situational awareness. By mastering self-defense techniques, you’ll gain the confidence to navigate your surroundings with a heightened sense of personal safety.

3. Physical Fitness and Well-Being

Martial arts training is an excellent way to stay fit and maintain overall well-being. The training involves a wide range of movements that improve cardiovascular health, flexibility, and strength. Whether it’s kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or Taekwondo, the dynamic workouts engage various muscle groups. In addition to physical fitness, martial arts also enhance mental focus and coordination, leading to improved overall well-being.

4. Stress Relief and Mental Resilience

The demands of modern life can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and drained. Martial arts provide an outlet for releasing pent-up stress and building mental resilience. The discipline and focus required during training help clear the mind, allowing you to let go of daily worries and frustrations. The repetitive nature of drills and techniques becomes a form of active meditation, bringing a sense of calmness and mental clarity.

5. Camaraderie and Community

Martial arts training offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and form strong bonds within a supportive community. Martial arts organizations provide a safe space for learning and growth. Through shared experiences and training, you’ll build lifelong friendships and find encouragement from fellow warriors. The camaraderie and support network fostered within martial arts communities can be empowering and uplifting.

It’s time to embrace your inner warrior and reap the amazing benefits that martial arts training offers! From self-confidence and self-defense to physical fitness and mental well-being, martial arts empowers women in countless ways. So, put on those gloves, step onto the training mat, and let martial arts be your path to personal growth and empowerment. Remember, you’re not just learning martial arts; you’re embarking on a journey of self-discovery and transformation!
