Originally located at 308 Oliver Street in North Tonawanda. We've always been here in North Tonawanda, as we love our community. Making a single location our sole focus lead to the success of over 15,000 students over a wonderful 49 year history. After almost 50 years of dedicated service to WNY,
our community and the Martial Arts -
Grand Master David Thiele passed the school down to Master Dustin
Prescott. Long time student, instructor and friend. Master Prescott has trained Martial Arts for 20 years, Disciplines including: ITF TaeKwon-Do, Sambo, Judo, Jujitsu, Arnis, Forms of Karate, Systema and Catch Wrestling. This makes our Academy a technically diverse powerhouse. PMAA was officially established in 2019. The Legacy continues with new energy, enthusiasm and a passion that cannot be missed. "I started my Martial journey because of my father. He trained with GM Thiele at the original location and that sparked a love for this way of life, for life. Growing up it quickly became my passion as well. Starting as a lover of old Black Belt Magazines and Jackie Chan films, to a student, to an Instructor, to now school owner has been an amazing journey. I can confidently declare that many, if not most of the best memories of my life so far have been because of the Martial Arts. I have been able to meet so many wonderful people and families, I've been able to travel to teach, train and hang with some of the best Martial Artists in the world. My dearest friends have become family because of the Martial Arts. This has become my life and I find that beautiful. My father still trains with me and is a Black Belt here, My brother is a Black Belt and now my Wife is a Black Belt. I look forward to you becoming part of the PMAA Clan, keep kicking."
