Progressive Martial Arts Training Center

"Progressive martial arts training center is a fantastic martial arts school. The instructors are of the highest quality. Sifu Danny Terrell is an exceptional teacher, and mentor. He is extremely knowledgeable and his art. I highly recommend him"

"Sifu Danny is great with the children. He teaches them martial arts and life lessons. My son loves going there."

"We have been a part of the PMATC family for 4 years. I have seen my son gain maturity and confidence. I asked him to tell me what he thinks about PMATC, and he said, “We train hard, we work our muscles and our minds, and it’s fun because we do fun drills, too. We grow warriors.”"

"if you are looking for a school where you can get a quick black belt and a pat on the back, this is not the place for you. if, on the other hand, you are looking for a genuine martial arts training program that will help you to get in shape and teach you effective self-defense, or even if you want to train for competitive fighting - this is the place for you! i travel from lafayette (about a 30 minute drive) and it is well worth it. the school has classes in Wing Chun (Chinese Kung Fu), Muay Thai, Pekiti Tirsia-Kali (a Philipino knife/stick fighting art), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as some youth and fitness programs. i would encourage anyone interested in martial arts to stop by for a free trial class."

"To all the women interested in starting martial arts for fitness or self-defense, I would like to say: Don't be intimidated! I am 28, I smoke, I had not taken any martial arts class other than Tae Kwon Do as a kid and I rarely worked out. A true beginner in every sense of the word and I love EVERY class that I take at PMATC. The atmosphere is very female and beginner friendly. The instructors are patient, helpful and encouraging. There is a very personable approach to teaching. With an eagerness to learn and the humility to accept that you are going to make mistakes while learning, this gym provides everything else you will need to get into shape, learn self-defense and permanently remove the phrase "just a girl" from your vocabulary. As a woman, I think it's very important to learn to defend yourself from attacks by bigger and stronger opponents. Learn to protect yourself and encourage other women to learn as well. You will feel so much better when you do. Start Now. There is no time like the present to start building a proficiency. I did a lot of online research before deciding to check out PMATC. I then went to watch a class to make sure it wasn't going to be too much for me. They have several classes Mondays through Saturdays. Additionally, I was able to try a few classes for free with their Introductory Offer. There are no contracts to sign, you will get a great workout every time and have lots of fun doing it. And finally: Don't be afraid. You won't get huge muscles because you're not working with weights. No one will care if you get sweaty and grunt because everyone else is doing it. No creepy guys are going to watch you while you work out or touch you in inappropriate manners. The instructors pay very close attention to every student in the class and they want you to feel comfortable. The classes tend to be smaller so you will get a lot of personal attention and one-on-one instruction. It's a lot like having a personal trainer, even though the class is taught in demonstration-style. And you won't lose your femininity. You will, however, lose your helplessness and insecurities. This place really is a hidden gem. If you try it out and feel the same way, support it by telling people about it. -Xuan Le (Franklin, LA)"
