P.A.M.A.T (Progressive American Martial Art Technologies)
PAMAT is a blended martial arts system that focuses on self protection and practical fighting skills. PAMAT is the result of over a decade and a half of training and research. It is a modern martial arts system that is always evolving. Our uniform consists of shoes, training pants, belt and t-shirt (very much like our Practical Personal Protection program).
In PAMAT, much of the focus is on practicality and the development of useful skills. We do not have “kata” or forms. Every thing we teach is designed to work under actual circumstances. The Self Defense techniques are easy to learn and easy to remember and the fighting skills focus on what actually works. This program is designed to complement our P3 Program. It can also be used to pick up where P3 leaves off.
PAMAT is a comprehensive martial arts system incorporating reality based self protection, stand-up fighting skills, ground fighting skills and all-around fighting skills. There are recognizable levels of promotion and we have a children’s curriculum for PAMAT as well, allowing all ages to benefit from the training. Our focus is on realistic self protection and martial arts skills in a fun, safe environment. Our motto is: “American Martial Arts for the modern World”. Our kids’ classes not only emphasize personal protection but personal responsibility and respect for adults as well as other children.
PAMAT is a graduated demands system. This means the Basic level material and classes are designed to be performed easily whether you are in great shape or not or if you are athletic or not. The difficulty and demands increase as rank is increased making sure a student is being legitimately challenged and is learning real, practical material.
PAMAT students also can train in various modules to increase skill in specific areas. In addition to the tactical and self protection modules, we also feature modules on more traditional type weapons such as nunchaku for those who are interested.
