PMA Is Expanding to KNOXVILLE!

On October 18, 2021 PMA will begin teaching classes at a new location in Knoxville!

Students have been asking for years when we would open another location, and the answer has always been “when we have an instructor that is ready to be the chief instructor at another school.” This is because as many of you know, ALL of PMA’s instructors are home grown! Each one has learned from white belt to black belt not only the martial arts that we teach, but also how to teach the way we teach, with our instructor training program.

Well, that time has come! SiHing Terry Alcorn began training at PMA in 2008 after watching us teach his son, Cameron, for a couple of years. He earned his Black Belt in FILKENJUTSU Kenpo in 2012 and entered into instructor training. After becoming a certified PMA instructor in 2013, SiHing has been honing his teaching style at PMA Oak Ridge teaching the Adult Fundamentals class, the Young Adults class, and one of the Juniors classes, as well as working with every class sometimes as a substitute. And now he is ready! SiHing Terry will now hold the title of SiFu and be the chief instructor at PMA KNOXVILLE!

We will be teaching inside the dojo that SiJo Bruce Corrigan teaches out of. As he will only be teaching a small semi private group class for his Black Belts and private students, we will be begin offering a full schedule of classes for ALL AGE GROUPS, beginning Monday, October 18, 2021! SiJo’s Fusion Martial Arts Club will become the new PMA KNOXVILLE!

Classes are limited in size, so those that are interested should call (865)481-8901 or email info@pmaoakridge.com to get on the schedule for a free introductory lesson and be one of the first students at our new location.

Who will be teaching the classes SiFu Terry currently teaches? Beginning Monday, October 18, Sifu David Corrigan will be taking over the Young Adults class and Monday/Wednesday Juniors class, and Sempai Gary Hall will be the new Adult Fundamentals instructor! And don’t worry, you’ll still see SiFu Terry around!

We are so excited for SiFu Terry, and to be able to offer classes for all age groups in a new area of East Tennessee and provide our training to more people! Be sure to like our new PMA Knoxville page on Facebook to keep up with the news at the new location - www.facebook.com/knoxvillepma!

See you on the mat!
