April marks the beginning of a new page at PAMA.  Starting this month, as a member of the academy, you may take as many classes a week as you would like.  This is a great opportunity to start cross training in some of the other arts at the academy that you were thinking of trying out, but didn’t want to do at the expense of classes you were already taking. Try out mixed grappling to learn more about defending yourself on the ground.  Take a class in Muay Thai to learn how to use your knees and elbows in close encounters.  Sharpen your sensitivity and reaction in the trapping class.  Teach your body coordination and awareness with weapons in the Kali and Kali knife classes. Take a look at the PAMA Class Schedule and fit a few more classes into your weekly routine.	Warming up before class on Saturday.
