“It can be daunting to start a martial art when you are an adult without any previous experience but I lucked out in finding this crew. Everyone has been kind and patient as they guide me through the different techniques. If you are interested in starting something new or continuing on in your Aikido journey, I could not recommend this place enough. It is a truly wonderful community!“
“I started taking Kempo as a way to stay in shape, have some fun and learn some self defense (hope to never Need it for that!) It's turned out to be all that and more! At the National Landing Dojo classes, I always get a good workout, learn new things and have a blast doing it! Jonathan is a great instructor and always keeps it fun! I highly recommend it!“
“We have loved our experience at Pentagon MMA so much, and this review is several aspects of our experience. My kids spent several years here including a year of Digital School (pandemic times) for my oldest which then rolled into Summer Camps followed by classes. I have stood outside the door and watched my kids anywhere between 2-4/a week between both kids classes and have completed their Situational Awareness course. Summer Camp - My kids loved the weeks of summer camp at Pentagon MMA. The weeks are action packed and the kids stay active. There are trips, many activities and learning experiences. The kids went to Mount Vernon, they did obstacles, crafts, brought home science experiments. We have done a lot of county camps, sports camps, etc and I can say that this is a well run kids camp. The instructors run the camps so the kids receive the same messages of respect and discipline. MMA classes for little kids/older kids - the lessons my kids have learned in these classes including those of respect and integrity and the encouragement to work hard and persevere are priceless. I highly recommend them and if you have been thinking about it, you should give it a try. I believe there may be trial classes. Otherwise contract lengths are anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, which may sound long, but for any child to hear these positive messages from a respected adult and physically and mentally work hard 2-3 times a week was well worth it. (Moms and Dads have their own opportunity to experience the training during Mother's and Father's Days, and it's definitely a work out and helps you understand how much strength and endurance the kids have and develop).Situational Awareness Seminar - I attended a several hour long course on Sundays for a month for adults. It was life changing, very empowering, and educational. The course teaches you about self defense, the intricacies of self defense in today's world and how to change your mindset to survive. I highly recommend this course. The last thing I have to say about PMMA is that the instructors, the staff, and all the other members are amazing. They become like family. I highly recommend Pentagon MMA for all the above. It looks like there are also competitions and training groups aside from my scope that look very exciting.“
