Journey
PAMA began as a simple conversation in the summer of 2019 — between Richard, Nathan, and Jeff (Nathan’s dad) — united by a shared vision to redefine what martial arts could be.
From that spark, a curriculum and website quickly took shape, laying the foundation for a new kind of training experience built on structure, energy, and community.
Despite momentum pausing in March 2020, our vision never faded.
By March 2022, PAMA opened its doors for the first time - a part-time school running three days a week from the Gerrards Cross Guide Hall.
A year later, in 2023
We opened our first full-time venue and launched on Gerrards Cross High Street.
Richard and Nathan began building a thriving hub for modern martial artists — expanding classes, creating new opportunities, and strengthening the community that defines PAMA.
2025, we’re just getting started!
Now, we’re ready for the next chapter: bringing the ProActive experience to more towns, more people, and more possibilities across the UK.
PAMA — modern martial arts for every body.
