Progressive Martial Arts

“The first thing I did when I arrived to Grand Forks was search for a place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I came across Progressive Martial Arts and had to give it a try. Having trained before, I already knew what I was looking for in a gym: good training curriculum and a great environment to practice. In my experience, it can be hard to find these two things in one gym- it’s usually one or the other. Needless to say, I found it! Here I am 2 years later with enough technique to feel confident enough to compete and with a team I can call my second family. I owe it to this gym for continually helping me hone in my technique and provide a space I can escape and just train.”

“Best Martial Arts school in town! I have had the pleasure of training here for almost 2 years now and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Ken and Josh are incredible instructors, and they are very attentive to the individual needs of the members. It is hard to find a gym with the type of family environment that PMA has. Come check us out!”

“Ken and Josh have been great teachers and very helpful. As a new student with no knowledge of BJJ, they have walked us through each move and encouraged us every class. They are very knowledgeable and have a passion for the martial arts and teaching. Highly recommend even if you have no prior experience in BJJ.”

“Can't recommend this gym enough. I'm a white belt frequently visiting Grand Forks for work and I drop in every chance I can. The gym has a great atmosphere with knowledge instructors that have made me feel like a part of the PMA family. As my project is starting to come to a close, I'm going to miss training with the PMA crew. Whether you're a local looking to begin your JJ journey or a visitor looking to drop in while in town, go train at PMA!”

“You won't believe how attentive and professional Progressive's self defense instruction is. They have great personalized training that will give you confidence and a great workout! Give them a chance and come be a part of our family. 5 year update: it's even better than previously noted”
