Progressive Martial Arts

I was months away from competing for my black belt when my wife and I found out we were expecting a child and moving to the Queens, New York area. The baby, a boy was a healthy seven pounder and during one of our sleepless nights, I happened to find an ad for Progressive Martial Arts. I joined and will work toward that belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu when I am back in shape. My wife is also talking about working on her fitness down here as well. Andrew Peters more

I had never heard of Kali before, so I wasn 't sure if it was going to be right for me. Progressive Martial Arts lets you take a class or many classes for 30 days without charging you, so I found out that it is tough and intense but if you hang in there, you can do it. I am working hard and will keep on working hard. It 's 2 months now, and I love that I signed up for these classes. Try out Progressive Martial Arts and you 'll see how their variety of mixed martial arts classes can work wonders for your body, mind and spirit. more

I am going to win a MMA title. I can say that with confidence because I am sure of myself and my abilities. I am sure of my training that I have been receiving at Progressive Martial Arts not only in MMA but in BJJ and JKD as well. The instructors and the facilities are superb. Check them out and you?ll know what I?m talking about. When I win my title, I will bring a picture down to hang in the lobby, but for now, I am working, sweating and training.

Thank you, Progressive Martial Arts for teaching my son to be strong and proud of himself. He has always been the smallest one in his class, so that means that occasionally he is picked on. He took a class at another gym but there was nothing but some halfhearted punches and kicks with no real instruction or guidance. The kids there were horrible and picked on him once again. He did agree to come to classes here and even after that very first one, he was ready to come back. He has learned how to defend himself but how to carry himself so that he no longer needed to. more

Do you know when you are really training hard, especially in MMA? It is when you think you have reached the end of what you have and then you take a deep breath and dig deeper than you ever have before and really go for it. It doesn?t matter if it is BJJ or Muay Thai or whatever- you are punching and kicking and sweating and you can hear your own heart beating in your ear and every muscle in your body is saying stop, but you go for it. That is when you are training hard. more

My son was on his way to becoming a bully when someone told me about the kids martial arts classes in Queens. I signed him up straight away and I couldn't be happier. The classes aren't just about physical defensive skills. The instructors also instill a sense of discipline, goal setting, leadership, confidence and self-esteem in their students. And most importantly, they demand respect for the student and other people. My son has definitely changed for the better. If you?re worried about your child?s behavior, get them into martial arts now. You'll be glad you did. more

This martial arts school offers everything. The school is huge and clean and the people are friendly without any ego at all. Their programs are cutting edge and nothing like traditional karate. After researching many schools, I found that this one had the most qualified instructors in the area. The head instructor or Sifu, is a full instructor under Dan Inosanto which is hard to find.The brazilian jiujitsu instructor is a black belt under Renzo Gracie, another rarity! The thaiboxing classes are taught by experienced fighters and are intense. I can even warmup before class in the cardio area. They even have a whole set of kettlebells! All in all, it's an awesome place to train and to be around people who are always looking to help. So great in fact, I come in all the way from the city to train 3x a week. I highly recommend it!!! Pros: Great instruction! Rich curriculum! Awesome facilty! Cons: Nothing! more
