We love Ponte Vedra Martial arts Academy. Our sons been coming here since he was a kindergartener. He's self confidence level has gone up tremendously. Not only that master Bill, Master Clarissa and other instructors teach these kids very valuable lessons in life as well. They teach them how to be respectful, kind, humble, and hardworking individual. They're not afraid to correct the kids and help them improve not in just martial skills but to succeed in school and social life. I can't say enough good thing about this practice. Thank you!!!
Love this place. I have learned so much since I started taking classes here. They are really into self-defense and preparing you for real world incidents. My whole family takes classes here and the atmosphere is awesome for both the kids and adults.
We love Paks! Master Bill and Ms. Clarissa are excellent instructors, and mentors. Paks offers fitness, gratitude, personal responsibility and discipline to the art form, and to life! They are most certainly a part of our family’s “village.” Thank you Paks Ponte Vedra.
Amazing instruction, excellent!!!
Our girls have taken classes with PVMAA for two years and they love it! They always get a great workout under the supervision of caring adults in a safe space. They practice so much more than martial arts here; there are frank discussions of responsibility, bullying, hard work, and so much more. We recommend Master Bill and Ms Clarissa’s Academy to anyone!
I can’t say enough great things about this academy. My girls both are enrolled in the MAP after school program and also go to the summer camp and it is such a fun way for the girls to learn accelerated martial arts. Clarissa is a patient and caring instructor and Master Bill is also an amazing teacher. Would recommend their programs. ??
My boys started their martial arts journey a few years ago. After researching a few different schools and styles, we landed at Ponte Vedra Martial Arts Academy. We love that it’s family owned and operated and that really resonates throughout the school. It’s so cool to see students who started training years back now teaching, interning and even working at the school. After watching my boys, I decided to start training almost 18 months ago. It’s challenging, rewarding and a lot of fun. I don’t even question why we drive past two other schools to train at PVMAA because it’s a great place run by great people.
Paks Ponte Vedra has been a wonderful academy for my son. He started when he was 9 years old. A month ago he earned his 2nd Degree Black Belt. Master Bill Master Clarissa, Master Leila has been great teachers. The determination, confidence, respect these kids learn from karate class is amazing. We highly recommend Ponte Vedra Martial Arts academy.
We highly recommend Ponte Vedra Martial Arts Academy! Our son started in July and we are amazed with his progress. All of the instructors are welcoming, encouraging, and really take the time to teach the necessary skills for future promotions. We can’t say enough wonderful things about PVMAA?
