Our Little Dragons class is tremendously popular. The elemental curriculum focuses on self-control, focus, listening & following directions as well as gross motor skills. We do this through teaching kickboxing on bags & in the air as well as partner activities like take downs and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). Additionally, children practice polite greetings, making eye contact and working cooperatively with partners. As with all of our programs, fitness is a priority so Little Dragons train in exciting exercises to build their coordination, core strength, muscle tone & balance.

As a parent, the greatest gift you can give your child is a positive self-image. Couple that with a strong sense of respect, purpose and compassion and you have created a happy child who will not only look out for themselves but others as well. At our dojo, we strive to develop individuals who apply their martial arts lessons to everyday life.

​

We foster success in children through safe, exciting, fun yet challenging classes geared toward instilling each child with a positive mental focus, an “I can do it” attitude and a genuine love for exercise. Our students build self-confidence, self-discipline, self-defense skills as well as respect for self and others.

​

We start with basics in boxing, Muay Thai kicks, take downs, elemental BJJ and our Bully Defense Program. Additionally kids build strength, stability and conditioning through super fun games and drills. Our mental and emotional curriculum centers around four pillars taught through samurai stories: Focus, Motivation, Belief, & Action. At the end of this one year program students test their skills to graduate to the next level and begin more advanced BJJ and learn live kickboxing sparring.

We have the most comprehensive Teen Program in Marin that includes a total beginner class for students with little to no experience as well as an Intermediate/Advanced class for students as they progress and eventually join the Adult Program. We are the only dojo that does not throw teens in with adults until they are ready. All levels of teens learn boxing, kickboxing, BJJ and self defense.

PMA is a dojo – a place where one learns ‘the way’. We have a standard for our students: Competence (skills), Character (who they are) and Contribution (what they do). We aim to develop the whole human, not just their physical ability. Our instructors are principled role models who live the values they teach…being amazing humans beings AND being able to fight!
 

Our adult program emphasizes street proven self defense skills in kickboxing, BJJ & MMA through safety-oriented classes for all ages and genders, both new or seasoned in martial arts. 

​

Our curriculum is designed to provide real, accessible self defense skills should it ever be needed.  We provide an authentic, high-level, MMA & BJJ experience in a safe and supportive environment.

​

We believe that creating a trusting, yet competitive community with a bonded group of dedicated students is the best learning environment. Our students stick around for many years (even decades)! 

​

Our instructors are all Black Belts in PMA, many are also Black Belts in BJJ.
