About PGMA
Coach Cliff, Isabela, & Professor Tony
For over a decade, Punta Gorda Martial Arts has stood as a second home for kids, parents, and adults across our community. At its heart is Professor Tony — a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt under the legendary Robson Moura — whose lineage and leadership have shaped every student to step on our mats.
PGMA was built on one simple belief: everyone deserves a place to grow. Kids develop real confidence, discipline, and focus. Adults rediscover what their body and mind can do. Families train side by side and leave stronger together.
