Life-Changing Experience at Kickside Martial Arts!…read more Joining Kickside Martial Arts has truly been one of the most transformative decisions of my life. What began as a challenge quickly became a passion thanks to the supportive community, expert instruction, and motivating atmosphere this school provides. I'm currently a Sr. Blue Belt, and every step of the journey--both physically and mentally--has pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined. The instructors at Kickside are nothing short of extraordinary. They're not only high-degree black belts with impressive skill and experience, but also incredible teachers who are genuinely invested in their students' progress. Their passion for martial arts and dedication to helping each student succeed is clear in every class. The community here is something special. I've built meaningful relationships with fellow students who encourage and inspire one another every day. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, there's a place for you here--and you'll be surrounded by people who want to see you thrive. Seeing my progression (and the progress of so many others) displayed proudly in the front lobby is such a powerful reminder of how far we've come, and how much this school believes in celebrating every victory, big or small. Kickside Martial Arts isn't just a place to train--it's a place to grow, to challenge yourself, and to be part of something greater. I'm grateful every time I step onto the mat, and I'd highly recommend this school to anyone ready to start their own journey.

It's been an excellent experience training at PAMA. I wish I had discovered this gym much earlier!…read more Sifu Mike, Sixiong Max, Sihing Harry, along with the other instructors are all phenomenal and encompass an extraordinary blend of expertise and professionalism paired with a respectable degree of gravity towards self-defense/martial arts. Sifu Mike and the PAMA staff manage to greet each student by name, which shows their intentionality towards knowing, developing, and valuing each individual student. The dedicated classes for Jun Fan Gung Fu/JKD, Muay Thai, and Kali are taught with a high level of expertise and structure. Admittedly, I gravitate towards formats that are disciplined and structured. As a result, I've thoroughly enjoyed the composition of the classes at PAMA. The instructors are always prepared with a lesson agenda for delivering quality content through warm-ups, technique breakdowns, and partner drills. While martial arts are taught in a fantastic way at PAMA, in the very words and encouragement that's often shared with their students--it's truly up to the individual to develop and progress through the time and dedication one puts forth. You get what you put in! Come and check PAMA out--it's definitely worth it!

I'm sharing my experience with both billing and program structure…read more From a billing standpoint, I enrolled at a discounted rate secured through an upfront payment. On early termination, I was still required to pay a fee for months not attended, and that fee was calculated using the non‑discounted rate rather than the rate I had prepaid for. The combined effect was a higher charge applied to unused time. This was confirmed as standard policy, and no adjustment was made. From a training perspective, progression was not clearly defined. A curriculum existed but was only shared upon request, and classes did not make sequencing or advancement explicit. Without a grading system or clear milestones, it was difficult to understand how skills were intended to build over time. Overall, this combination significantly impacts the value of the program relative to its cost. Prospective members should look closely at both the billing terms and how progression is structured before enrolling.

After being a barre junky and instructor for 5 years, I missed the energy of in-person barre classes. Being back at the barre is uplifting!

I studied martial arts under MMA's owner and his team for 2-1/2 years. Regretfully, I had to stop…read moreover the last couple years due to professional reasons but am now working on going back -- and bringing one or two of my kids with me. First, I have to acknowledge that nobody and no business is perfect. But -- I gotta tell ya -- MMA comes close. They tell you what its policies are up front and they honor them. My experience with Montgomery has been uniformly positive and I can't wait to get started again. The owner is a pro, knows his art, treats his team well and manages the business firmly but fairly. No surprises -- what you see is what you get. He's a charming devil too, but that's not the point (grin). No review of this nature is useful unless the reader is familiar with how the majority of martial arts schools operate. If you do a careful, time-consuming local survey, you'll become educated find many of the local schools to be in a similar or higher price range -- up front. But after you are involved, there are significant fees associated with testing for next rank and a variety of other things. I have a little experience in this area. I call these belt-farms. You or your child will definitely get a black belt from one of these schools, but that is much different from BEING a black belt. And that brings me to the topic of quality... To pursue and become a black belt, you must be dedicated, humble and avail yourself of the benefit of the best teachers and management. That is what I found at Montgomery Martial Arts. I studied the same discipline in PA and in CA as well. In PA, the the talent was there among the leadership but the classes were poorly organized. In CA, the teaching was "OK" and so were the classes -- when they happened (unreliable). As I have been considering going back, I have been taking my kids to watch in the windows of other schools during their classes. Even my kids can see the difference. Do what we did -- go to other schools and watch through the windows. Pay close attention to individuals of higher ranks like brown or red belt and watch them carefully. Especially when they are kicking, watch how much control they have. How is their balance. Do they look confident. Do this at three schools to compare and then do the same at Montgomery Martial Arts. I guarantee if you do, you will arrive at the same conclusion as my 7 and 9 year olds who want to train at MMA. Bottom line -- Montgomery Martial Arts is a great school for adults as well as kids (which is also unusual). The instructors are first class because the owner won't have it any other way. And the owner is a fair and indulgent guy. If you're interested, follow my advice on the research and go for it! Have fun!!! John
