I am so grateful to have PMA in my hometown. Ken and Josh are extremely knowledgeable and it shows in every class I attend. I cannot imagine a more welcoming atmosphere that I now share with my kids who also love going to train. They have definitely created a family-friendly environment. I wish I had time to make it there more often!
Posted 3 months agoProgressive Martial Arts is a wonderful gym full of amazing people and wonderful training. Ken and Josh Greer have created an atmosphere that offers everything from competitive MMA training to hobbyist jiu jitsu training suitable for all ages. I have taken part or had family take part in jiu jitsu, kid's jiu jitsu, striking and MMA training and have thoroughly enjoyed every second and would recommend to every and anyone. This is truly a family oriented gym that you will find whatever you are looking for training.
Posted 8 months agoProgressive Martial Arts is one of the best gyms I’ve been to. When I visited Grand Forks, Ken, Josh, and the whole team made me feel like family right from the get go. While I was deployed up there for 4 months this year they helped me secure 2 MMA victories during my time and solely because the team they have, I’d gladly fly back for a week or two again just to finish off a fight camp. They have such a great training environment for everyone and they genuinely want to help everyone get better. Part of me wishes I lived in Grand Forks just for their gym. They have all types of beginner level courses for BJJ, advanced classes, MMA, and great kickboxing classes. If you are looking for a gym in ND, PMA is the way to go!
Posted 8 months agoI have trained in many different gyms across the country and PMA is special. I found PMA while looking for a Judo dojo after moving to Grand Forks. Not only is the instruction effective, the atmosphere in the gym is second to none. Instructors keep students engaged and safe while maintaining a high level of competence. I will admit I have used parts of PMA’s instructional style in my own classes I teach. Ken and Josh are truly a gift to our community. PMA is much more interested in knowledge and the art of BJJ than anything else.
Posted 8 months agoPMA has been, and is, a great place to learn all things grappling. Ken and Josh are phenomenal teachers and are welcoming of all no matter the experience level. PMA hasn’t been just another gym. It’s turned into part gym, part friendship, part sanctuary and a place I love to be. If you’re on the fence about if you should come train or not, take the leap! You won’t regret it!
Posted 8 months agoYou won't believe how attentive and professional Progressive's self defense instruction is. They have great personalized training that will give you confidence and a great workout! Give them a chance and come be a part of our family. 5 year update: it's even better than previously noted
The first thing I did when I arrived to Grand Forks was search for a place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I came across Progressive Martial Arts and had to give it a try. Having trained before, I already knew what I was looking for in a gym: good training curriculum and a great environment to practice. In my experience, it can be hard to find these two things in one gym- it’s usually one or the other. Needless to say, I found it! Here I am 2 years later with enough technique to feel confident enough to compete and with a team I can call my second family. I owe it to this gym for continually helping me hone in my technique and provide a space I can escape and just train.
Best Martial Arts school in town! I have had the pleasure of training here for almost 2 years now and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Ken and Josh are incredible instructors, and they are very attentive to the individual needs of the members. It is hard to find a gym with the type of family environment that PMA has. Come check us out!
Ken and Josh have been great teachers and very helpful. As a new student with no knowledge of BJJ, they have walked us through each move and encouraged us every class. They are very knowledgeable and have a passion for the martial arts and teaching. Highly recommend even if you have no prior experience in BJJ.
The best place to train BJJ, Striking, and functional fitness. Plus they have the best water fountain in the tri-state area!
The best place to learn bjj and striking. Great atmosphere and even more amazing people.
Can't recommend this gym enough. I'm a white belt frequently visiting Grand Forks for work and I drop in every chance I can. The gym has a great atmosphere with knowledge instructors that have made me feel like a part of the PMA family. As my project is starting to come to a close, I'm going to miss training with the PMA crew. Whether you're a local looking to begin your JJ journey or a visitor looking to drop in while in town, go train at PMA!
The best place to train MMA or BJJ in the area. The atmosphere and work ethics are great. The facility is very functional and well up-kept. The wealth of experience from coaches. I had to move from the area and this place is what I miss the most
Progressive has a great atmosphere and a solid teaching staff. I am a black belt from Milwaukee and have enjoyed my time with these guys so very much I will be back.
Amazing place, great teachers and classmates... love the jujitsu classes
