About the School
Professional Martial Arts Academy (PMAA) has been a leader in the Chinese Martial Arts community for the past 10 years. We are conveniently located in the Northern Virginia area just 10 minutes from Dulles Airport.
Our programs at PMAA have been developed through years of experience, constant study, and continued research into the areas of sports science. We believe this is what sets us apart from other Chinese Martial Arts studios. PMAA was born out of the dream to create a professional training facility with coaching tailored to the needs of each individual student/athlete. What we have created is a martial arts training facility with cutting edge sports science training methods combined with decades of experience behind Chinese training protocols.
In addition to our advanced training methods, our classes are fun-filled and energetic. We have programs to meet the needs of all ages; from our Little Pandas Class aimed at building physical and cognitive skills in toddlers, all the way up to our adult martial arts and Tai Chi programs taught by world champions!
At PMAA we have something for everyone – seasonal camps, afterschool programs, and birthday parties that are in addition to our robust Chinese Martial Arts training programs. PMAA has been one of the nation’s top competitive martial arts schools in the United States, producing several National, Pan American, and World Champions over the last 10 years.
Whether you are looking for a physical challenge, interested in instilling discipline in your child, or aspire to be a world class competitor, PMAA is the place that can help you achieve your goals. If you are looking for a place to call your second home, we welcome you to come be a part of our PMAA Family.
