Pentagon Mixed Martial Arts - Muay Thai & Jiu Jitsu

“I've been coming to PMMA for almost two years now (32 when I started). I love it here! As a woman, I was a little worried at first, but I have to say that went away once I realized how inclusive this gym is and I just love seeing more and more women coming through the doors. In a room full of students, the coaches are really good about paying attention to you and giving you feedback. They really care about making sure you're understanding what they're teaching, it's not just a "workout" it's a place to learn something really cool and special. I can honestly say that I've fallen in love with Muay Thai. Besides having top tier coaches (who you can always go up to, on and off the mat) and actually feeling like you're learning, the community is really great too! Some of my closest friends where made here, people who have supported me and lifted me when I needed it and vise versa. Kru Vivek has created a really good environment, where it doesn't matter who you partner up with, everyone here has the same goal of learning, growing, and getting better each day. I love how communication is highly encouraged when partnering with someone and specially when sparring. It doesn't matter what your goals are, maybe you're looking for some self-defense, to lose weight, be part of a community, or even compete, you will be met by friendly faces and coaches who will work with you to make sure you meet whatever goal you have set out for yourself. They will push you (hard sometimes, but with love) to make sure you get where you want to go!”

“Pentagon MMA is my favorite Big Brothers BJJ gym in the DMV. Sa’idah and Isaac are both immensely technical black belts, while simultaneously being some of the warmest people I’ve ever met. The atmosphere at pentagon is super family friendly and the intensity level of the training room is unmatched.”

“Pentagon MMA is amazing! My coworker and I came by for a class while we were in town. The class was really good. The drills and combos flowed well and got you sweating, but the technique was still there. Highly recommend”

“The best decision I haver ever made in my life so far. I love all the amazing people I met at the gym, coaches who pour their hearts out to teach, and so many things you will learn about yourself!”

“The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about their students’ progress. They break down techniques clearly and provide individualized feedback. The gym has a great sense of community—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and willing to help, no matter your skill level. It’s a perfect place for both beginners and experienced fighters looking to refine their Muay Thai skills!”
