What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jared F
"Ed offered to give my entire unit a free course in Jiu Jitsu. He was an awesome and professional instructor that knew how to assess the needs of his students. Additionally, his gym was one of the nicest gyms I've seen with tons of space during rolling. Ed refused to allow us to pay anything and made us feel appreciated. The soldiers were raving about how much fun they had the entire day despite being pushed to their physical limits during drills. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone thinking about getting into the BJJ world or changing gyms."
Aidan Lincoln
"I moved to Fresno after having trained for ~5 years in other states. After dropping in at a few schools I found PMA. It was an easy decision to sign up immediately. They are an absolutely fantastic jiu jitsu school with an excellent training environment. The coaches are all knowledgeable and friendly. The training is challenging but always safe. They regularly compete at local tournaments and do very well. There's something for everyone at this school, be it the casual newcomer or serious competitor. Definitely my #1 choice for BJJ in the Fresno area!"
Miranda Medina
"I have been coming to Pete’s Muy Thai classes for a little over a month now and I am so glad I started! The atmosphere is so welcoming, and clean!! The class goers are kind and those who are more advanced do not hesitate to help when they can too, which is always a plus. I’ve learned so much in a short time and it’s a killer workout, once I walked in with a braid and came out with a straight pony tail (worked the hairdo right out of me lol). If you’re thinking of taking a class as a beginner or as someone who already has knowledge of the sport, you won’t be sorry. It’s really got something for everyone. Thank u Pete and Pacific Martial Arts 😊"
