Hi, I'm Master Joshua Palmer
Master Joshua Palmer is a 6th degree black belt
and I want to personally invite you to begin your martial arts journey with us. If you take action today and start one of our trial programs, I give you my word: if you don’t love your experience here, I’ll refund your entire trial—no questions asked.
Why? Because I believe so strongly in what we do at Pride Martial Arts. I’ve seen it change lives—including my own—and I want you to have the chance to experience that too.
That said, our classes do fill up quickly, and space is limited. We’ve had to turn people away before, and I’d hate that to happen to you. So, if you’re thinking about it—don’t wait. Lock in your spot today, and let’s get started!

Pride Martial Arts has been amazing with our son! They have guided him with integrity and taught him great respect and discipline in his training. Thank you for the great service to the community!
All the instructors are professional and informative. I believe that they truly care for their students, I love this school for my children they’ve learned how honor and respect plays out in their daily lives I’m so proud of the young gentleman they are becoming and I would recommend Pride Martial Arts to all.
Mr. Palmer & the other teachers are so phenomenal. This place has so many benefits. I am so grateful for all of them. They have the patience of saints & yet hold firm with good discipline & direction. You won’t regret coming here!
My son has been training at Pride Martial Arts for over two years, and I can't recommend Mr. Palmer and his staff highly enough. They are not only engaging but also instill fantastic values in every class. We're truly grateful for the positive impact they've had on our son's life!
My daughter has been going to this school since November. She is loving it and having so much fun. All of the instructors are so helpful and always know her name and all of the students names. Even the new students.
Fantastic school. The instructors are great. I have four kids taking classes and they all enjoy it. Great workout for them as well.
I wish I could give this place 100 stars. Palmer and his instructors are amazing. They meet every student on their own level and inspire growth. I for awhile wondered if this was beneficial for my 9 year old going on his third year. That was quickly answered when I surprised him in our pool and grabbed him from behind… He quickly created space using self defense tactics. My whole family laughed and I threatened him he’d never come back.lol although that’s why my children are here. Not only do they gain important survival skills but also to learn discipline and self respect.
Thank you pride martial arts.

Pride is a place where you can learn martial arts and take away much more. Respect, integrity and self-esteem are fostered in a positive environment. Pride has experienced and skilled instructors that manage large classes excellently and make hard work fun! Definitely a place to go if you are interested in martial arts, self defense or kick boxing!!!
Great team of instructors who make the experience fun and take time to make sure children leave the center happy. Thank you to all the staff!
