The Best Martial Arts School in Arlington in VA. See why hundreds of residents love our martial arts classes in Pentagon Mixed Martial Arts.
I started at Pentagon MMA on the Muay Thai 3 day a week track in October of 2024 with the intent on helping maintain fitness goals into the holidays and new year. While it has been nearly a decade for me since last attendng a martial arts gym, I instantly found myself welcomed and back in the flow again by the experienced and highly knowlegable staff and impressed by the excellently managed cleanliness and organization of this Gym. It truely has exceeded my expectations! Monday and Wednesday late afternoon and Saturday mornings you can usually find Coach Teddy Endale teaching a fantastic fighting fundamentals class that scales up with your fitness skill level. Tuesday and Thursdays afternoon/evening with Kru (master) Vivek Nakarmi and Coach Katrina Combs us the more advanced fundamentals and "feel the burn" classes. While the evening classes are usually full if your looking for a more relaxed and focused setting the 6am MWF and noon Tues/Thurs classes are usually an easy walk in. This Gym uses an app to schedule your classes and track attendance for testing and advancement. Classes go up for sign up the day of the week before hand *usually*. I reccomend signing up for the class at least 5 days out otherwise it may be too full. The instructors and students are very accommodating despite the small size. Pentagon Champions are winning belts and titles every year: Don't underestimate this Dynamite Dojo! 🧨💥🥊😠
Posted 1 year agoPre covid in 2019 I first joined Pentagon mma for BJJ and no gi and I was hooked. Although I left to Korea for work after a year every visit to the U.S I make sure to drop by and get a class in. The classes are structured well and organized. All the instructors are knowledgeable and make sure each student is getting it. The intensity of the bjj and no gi classes were just right. I got more into fitness just to keep up with the base. I honestly do miss the vibe of the gym while I'm in Korea. I've yet to find a gym in Korea that has members so passionate and such skilled instructors. If you're a beginner , their foundations classes is just right. If you have experience dive right into their no gi classes. I recommend it!
Posted 1 year agoI have been training at Pentagon MMA for a few years now. It has been an amazing journey learning Muay Thai, I also train alongside my younger sister. All the coaches and staff are excellent. They are all here to help you grow and reach goals you have set for yourself. Initially, I just joined the gym to learn Muay Thai for fun, then I started competing which has been so rewarding!
Posted 1 year agoI’ve been training at Pentagon MMA for the past two years, and I can confidently say it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The gym offers both private and group sessions, and I’ve benefited immensely from both. The group classes are dynamic and challenging, fostering a sense of camaraderie, while the private sessions provided personalized guidance that took my skills to the next level. The coaches at Pentagon MMA are highly skilled and genuinely invested in helping every student grow, regardless of their experience level. They emphasize proper technique, conditioning, and strategy, which prepared me exceptionally well to compete. The focus on fundamentals combined with advanced techniques gave me a solid foundation and the confidence to test my skills in competition. Beyond the physical training, the gym has an incredible atmosphere that makes you feel welcome from day one. Whether you’re looking to compete or simply learn Muay Thai as a hobby, Pentagon MMA is an amazing place to train. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to push themselves and grow, both physically and mentally.
