We teach authentic karate-do, jiu-jitsu, and traditional Okinawan weapons (kobudo). In addition to teaching great self-defense, we teach our students to develop harmony, both with their inner selves and others. By practicing martial arts, we learn to listen to our bodies and become more in tune with the world around us.

Our classes are designed to be developmentally appropriate for our students, with classes for toddlers, young children, pre-teens, teens, and adults. We find that our students become leaders in martial arts, focus, self-discipline, and respect for self and others. Jason Knight holds a 3rd-degree black-belt in Karate-Do and a Master's Degree in Psychology.
Services
Our curriculum is developmentally appropriate for each age group, allowing our students to learn martial arts more effectively while having fun. Ninja age students begin to learn some of the traditional aspects of karate such as kata (forms), safe use of Okinawan Weapons (farm tools), and sparring.

We really enjoyed our time at Pacific Martial Arts! Everyone here is really nice...including all the parents. It is like a small little community. They are really catered to help the kids learn and be the best they can be without a lot of pressure. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for karate for kids!

I wish we had found this dojo years ago! Every instructor here is wonderful! My son is usually the oldest and tallest and least experienced in class, but he has fun, sweats and learns discipline every time. Pacific Martial Arts makes us both so happy!!! Thank you Jason Knight! You will be hooked on PMA from day one!

I'm training for 4 months now at Pacific Martial Arts, and I'm really enjoying it. Before moving to the US, I practiced during 5 years in Europe 15 years ago, and as a brown belt, I'm very picky on the level of training. This DOJO has in my opinion, a very good balance between the sports side and the philosophical side of martial art. After only 4 months, I feel part of the club.

My son has only been attending for 7 months and I've already seen a remarkable improvement in his confidence level and an excitement for class. Mr. Knight and the entire staff not only teach karate, but also talk to the students about how to apply the lessons and ideas to life outside the dojo.

Their payment draft agreement is the worst. Prepaid for 3 months and my son stopped attending after a month. So I paid more than what my son attended. Besides not using all that - which I was willing to give up, they drafted additional funds since I had not officially given written notice my son was done. You already took what I prepaid since my son didn't complete the 3 months, did you have to take an additional $200+ just for not sending in an official agreement. When did signing up your son turn into a credit card scam.

My kids go to mini and micro-ninjas and they love it - the teachers are incredible role models and amazing at keeping a class of young kids engaged, learning and paying attention. The teachers model respect and patience when talking to students and each other. They have a really fun way of teaching karate fundamentals - my kids love it so much they take turns at home being karate teacher and student and they show that they are really learning and retaining so much. I appreciate how the teachers hold all of the kids to a high standard and clear rules but if a kid is losing focus their first instinct
