I’ve been training with Pentagon MMA for over a year now, and I came in with absolutely zero experience. From day one, the environment felt welcoming and supportive, which made it easy to stay consistent and push myself. I’ve had the opportunity to attend group classes with Coach Teddy, Coach Nick, Coach Vivek, and Coach Jomkitti. Each of them brings a unique energy and expertise to their sessions, and their coaching styles complement one another incredibly well. The structure of the classes is outstanding—they keep the learning process enjoyable while still making sure it’s motivating and appropriately challenging. Whether it’s refining technique, building conditioning, or simply boosting confidence, the coaches do an amazing job of helping you progress at your own pace while still pushing you to improve
When I joined Pentagon MMA to take Muay Thai classes, I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew nothing about martial arts and didn’t have any intention of sparring or competing. However, the coaches and the community at Pentagon MMA made it so fun and rewarding to push myself harder and harder. The coaches and classes have an awesome dynamic. I enjoy all the different classes for unique reasons. I’ve gotten stronger, sharper, and more confident than I’ve been in years. If you want a place that will make you work, make you better, and still make you feel welcome, this is it. Looking forward to more years here at Pentagon MMA!
I love this place! Pentagon MMA is an incredible place to learn Muay Thai kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu jitsu. I’ve been coming here for almost a month. The community is very welcoming and supportive. I’ve gotten great instruction and encouragement from the coaches and the other students. I highly recommend this MMA studio.
If you want a gym where you just come to class and the only training and interaction you get is during class - don’t come here. Pentagon MMA is a family first and gym second. Don’t get me wrong - this place is highly successful in competition - but that’s because the coaches don’t treat it like a job - they treat it as a way of life. Everybody looks out for each other and safety comes before gaining more experience with the latter close behind. You develop friendships at Pentagon MMA that extend beyond the gym. Coming to PMMA was one of the best decisions I’ve made and I’ve come light years from where I was when I started. The coaches know what they are doing and they care. And the last part is what sets this place apart from other gyms. PMMA is the place to go.
I've been coming to PMMA for almost two years now (32 when I started). I love it here! As a woman, I was a little worried at first, but I have to say that went away once I realized how inclusive this gym is and I just love seeing more and more women coming through the doors. In a room full of students, the coaches are really good about paying attention to you and giving you feedback. They really care about making sure you're understanding what they're teaching, it's not just a "workout" it's a place to learn something really cool and special. I can honestly say that I've fallen in love with Muay Thai. Besides having top tier coaches (who you can always go up to, on and off the mat) and actually feeling like you're learning, the community is really great too! Some of my closest friends where made here, people who have supported me and lifted me when I needed it and vise versa. Kru Vivek has created a really good environment, where it doesn't matter who you partner up with, everyone here has the same goal of learning, growing, and getting better each day. I love how communication is highly encouraged when partnering with someone and specially when sparring. It doesn't matter what your goals are, maybe you're looking for some self-defense, to lose weight, be part of a community, or even compete, you will be met by friendly faces and coaches who will work with you to make sure you meet whatever goal you have set out for yourself. They will push you (hard sometimes, but with love) to make sure you get where you want to go!
