Do you know your learning style, and wish to custom-tailor the format of your instruction?. Do you want to sit with someone to help you work on the non-technique parts of your game, such as body-type-specific strategy, game-planning or mind-mapping?. Would you like help organizing, or creating a system for your technique note-taking and session logs?.
Self-motivating to exercise at a gym is less compelling to you than something more sportive or competitive. Imagine the confidence and fearlessness you'd feel, having honed your fitness and created reflexive responses to any likely attack.

I had the privilege of training with Greg Wood and taking his class at BJJ Globetortters Jiu-Jitsu camp in Heidelberg Germany. Greg is a phenomenal instructor and gets invited to teach around the world with good reason. I’ve been using the “skywalker” guard pass a ton since learning it in his class. If you are in the Plaineville area I recommend checking out his program!

After the first class I was hooked and think about the next class more than I should. I am very much a novice with maybe 20 classes of BJJ now. Greg Wood has shown patience and enthusiasm while teaching techniques of BJJ. I find the classes to be fun, engaging and challenging. The other students are willing and capable of helping other students progress. I like (and quickly learned the hard way) that bjj has little to do with how strong you are and how ballistic you move... Want to learn self defense, I recommend PMA. 5 Stars

Greg and Lisa are two amazing jiu jitsu instructors, they care about student progress and are willing to work with anyone and everyone to make sure they are safe and understand the techniques. They break down the moves into simple easy to understand segments. They are great coaches and even better people if you live in the area definitely check them out.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Greg and Lisa as people and instructors. Greg was the instructor for my very first class in BJJ- his enthusiasm and passion for BJJ was infectious- so quickly I became hooked! Moreover, he and Lisa are always approachable and patient in their explanations of each technique. So excited to see them taking it to the next level with Plainville Martial Arts (PMA)!

I have trained under Greg Wood for a year. Greg is friendly and easy going with lots of knowledge and great attention to detail. Greg will quickly put any newcomer jitters at ease with his welcoming attitude and ability to tailor techniques to your particular level, ability, body style and experience. I highly recommend any class that Greg teaches!
