What Do People Say About PMA?
"As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion that
travels all over the world to teach, I can say
that the system that Progressive Martial Arts
Academy has adopted to follow and teach to their
students is by far the most effective you can
find. If you live in TN or are passing by, I
highly recommend you visit them.” - Felipe Costa
- Jiu Jitsu World Champion
"I
am writing this letter to express my gratitude
for the fantastic instruction in Brazilian Jiu
Jitsu I have been receiving at the Progressive
Martial Arts Academy. As a person in his
mid-forties who spent most of the last 7 years
either in front of a computer screen or chasing
small children, I was concerned when I enrolled
in your academy that I would have neither the
strength nor the athletic ability to learn a
martial art. However, under your excellent
instruction, I have learned more than I thought
possible, and had a great time doing so. In
addition, since I started Jiu Jitsu training
with you in September of 2007, I have dropped a
few pounds, and my cholesterol has lowered from
over 230 to below 180! In summary, I would
recommend the Progressive Martial Arts Academy
to anyone, of any age or athletic ability, who
is interested in learning a martial arts, and/or
improving their health, and/or just having fun
learning something new." - Attorney Marc F. -
Current Student
"I
was impressed at how well the techniques were
explained and broken down in order to
comprehend. I made a point to become a regular
attendee of the class. As the months progressed,
I started noticing differences in my physical
appearance. The pounds started to come off at a
rate of a little more than two pounds per month.
I also noticed that stress in my professional
and personal life did not seem to bother me as
much. I had an ever increasing amount of
calmness and self confidence that I had not
experienced in my life before." - Matt B. -
Current Student
"I
looked around before I came to PMA. I came here
on the recommendation of an (older) friend. He
is a physician as well. Sifu Bruce has a great
deal of experience. Here you can train not just
hard, but hard and SMART. Smart training keeps
you from getting injured. Smart training takes
into account the student’s strengths,
weaknesses, and yes, even age." - Dr. Bill M. -

WELCOME
TO OAK RIDGE'S
AWARD WINNING
MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY!

 |
The physical benefits of Martial Arts
are obvious - you can see the changes in the mirror.
Perhaps even more important, the mental benefits, can be
“seen” in your attitude, behavior, and character. When
you look great, you feel great...Resulting in a level of
confidence that makes you unstoppable!
|
 Unfortunately
there is a pervasive attitude that a Martial
Arts Academy is where you go to learn to
“fight.” Before you choose a place to
train, remember - there is a significant
difference between a “fighter’s gym,” and a
place to study the “way of life” known as
Martial Arts. Although our instructors
have a history as successful fighters and
tournament competitors, Progressive Martial
Arts (PMA) is not a “fighter’s gym.” At
PMA, we believe Martial Arts are a vehicle
for learning self defense against an
aggressor, a means of holistic
self-improvement, and a path for eventually
developing a “way of life,” that will help
you with everything you do in life. Our
academy takes the same ultra effective
drills and skills that produce world class
fighters, and makes them safe, so everyone
can grow and benefit regardless of a ge,
gender, experience, or athleticism. In
summary, we teach with the philosophy
that Martial Arts were developed for the
“everyday person,” as a means of physical
and mental self improvement. |
What Makes Progressive Martial Arts
(PMA) Superior? PMA is a professionally organized
facility, that is clean and safe. Our academy is a full
time training facility with a staff of extremely well
trained martial arts and physical training instructors.
Unlike most part time martial arts schools, we do not
accept everyone who walks through our door - because of
this, you are guaranteed that you will only train in an
atmosphere of consideration, respect, and safety.
Parents, Doctors, Psychologists, and
Athletic Coaches highly recommend Progressive Martial
Arts Academy. Our curriculum's main objective is to
teach you how to win in life and become the best you can
be regardless of your physical abilities.
Our patient professional instructors
concentrate on making each student feel welcome and
personally trained from the moment they walk through the
door. Every student can successfully meet and exceed
their fitness, health and self defense goals in an
environment that is clean, safe, and enjoyable. By
encouraging this foundation you develop a passion for
your training and your confidence will begin soar. Once
you start to apply this simple formula of attitude +
skill = confidence, it will help you become successful
and happy in all facets of your life.
