What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Hartford Smoke

"Greg is an excellent coach, this school is the best thing that's ever happened to me. True story. Jiu Jitsu changed my life, Greg and PMA are played a big part in that and I'm very grateful. Couldn't recommend more. Best bjj school, best bjj coach."

Jenna

"I started studying at PMA a month or so ago and love it. I’m having a blast, learning a lot and the people are awesome! I am legally blind and didn’t know how feasible it would be to get back into martial arts, but I reached out to Greg (the owner) who was very supportive and has experience working with people who are visually impaired. Obviously, my learning style is much more tactile now and everyone at PMA has been so helpful with teaching me and encouraging. I haven’t felt judged at all, which makes it so comfortable. It’s a very positive atmosphere and definitely a confidence booster after vision loss."

Michelle Gerrish

"My Daughter, Evelyn, started at PMA a month ago doing 8-12 classes with Greg. I truly can't say enough good things about his business. Every time that Evelyn leaves class, she has the biggest smile on her face, and she is always looking forward to the next class. Greg makes everyone feel welcome all while teaching respect, discipline, and making Jiu Jitsu and self defense fun. Greg truly has a talent when it comes to teaching his students. Evelyn looks forward to doing this for the long haul. I truly recommend anyone checking his business out. Thanks Greg!!"

Bang Tran

"I had been interested in getting back into studying martial arts for a loooong time. Yet I have had reservations and apprehensions in the schools/gyms that I've looked into previously. I've been looking for a school (and most importantly) with a teaching philosophy that aligns with; where I am in my life, what I hope to gain, a pace fits my lifestyle, teaches SAFELY, and most importantly.. A school that teaches with intention, the foundational building blocks of the art and provides the "Why am I doing this?" answers. Yet when I met the owner of the school, Greg Wood I knew I'd found what I was looking for. Greg's philosophy and approach to teaching is exactly what I was looking for. Greg listened more than he spoke. He asked my goals, and listened to me instead of trying to "sell" me on the school/art. Greg made me feel that I was being "heard", and that made me realize that I was at the right place. I would recommend this school to anyone looking to better their fitness, learn in a structured environment Jiu Jitsu, and as an added bonus, a "family" atmosphere.. Best decision I've made, and just wish I found this school and Greg Wood sooner!"
