Services
Plainville Martial Arts boasts a fabulous 3500 square foot facility. The separate men's and women's bathrooms are spacious, and feature lockers to hold your belongings, and multiple single showers that you may use at the end of a session. It is nice to get into your car without bringing the sweat from a session with you!
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. At Plainville Martial Arts, our self-defense program for adults focuses on proven techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
DOING GREAT, and you want to further foster good habits in focus, discipline, follow-through, hard work, and self-care for future success and health. Imagine finding an activity for your child that your child LOVES attending, and where your child learns better behavior, focus, and life and learning habits?
In our Martial Arts Classes for Teens, Positive Role Models teach real self-defense and get teens in shape. Skills and knowledge that will keep them safe when they get to increasingly dangerous college campuses. Techniques that use leverage to defeat the size and strength advantage of a potentially larger, stronger assailant.

Greg is an excellent coach, this school is the best thing that's ever happened to me. True story. Jiu Jitsu changed my life, Greg and PMA are played a big part in that and I'm very grateful. Couldn't recommend more. Best bjj school, best bjj coach.

I have shared the mat as an instructor with Greg at BJJ Globetrotters Camps. I was impressed not only with the content but the delivery his instruction. In particular I use a variety of his sky walker pass in my Jiu Jitsu since attending his class in Iceland.

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!

As a fellow gym owner in the area, I can say that PMA is awesome. The people are super welcoming, the space is beautiful, and the training is too notch. No egos and all smiles!

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.

Greg Wood has been studying Gracie Jiu-Jitsu since 1997, and is an original CT representative of the "gentle art." Few bring to the table as much knowledge and teaching ability as Greg does, and the area is blessed to have him.

Greg Wood welcomed and invited me to join the classes and the free sparring. He's a great instructor who seems to really love martial arts. I really enjoyed the classes and would highly recommend Plainville Martial Arts for anyone.
Thanks for welcoming me and I hope to be back very soon.

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!
