2025 PMA Summer Showdown

The PMA Summer Showdown is back β and this year we are adding something new!
We're excited to announce the return of our in-house tournament featuring two exciting competition categories:
- No-Gi Grappling Divisions
- Forms Divisions (new this year!)
This event is open to all PMA students and is a fantastic opportunity to test your skills, build confidence, and compete in a fun, supportive environment.
Then, on Sunday we will close out the weekend with the return of the PMA Stick-Nic! This family-friendly gathering is open to all PMA students and their families (Kenpo and Jiu Jitsu), and will feature a fun, beginner-friendly Filipino Martial Arts seminar, followed by food, games, and community time at the park.
Tournament Divisions:
- No-Gi Grappling
Open to all ages and skill levels (including Kenpo students)
Competitors will be grouped as closely as possible by age, weight, gender, and experience
Matches will follow NAGA no-gi rules, offering a fair and familiar structure for students of all levels
NAGA Rule Book - https://www.nagafighter.com/wp-content/uploads/naga-rules.pdf
- Forms Division
Open to Juniors, Young Adults, and Adult Kenpo Students
Perform one form of your choice in front of a panel of judges, and one form chosen by the judges!
Judges will focus on technical and athletic performance, including proper execution of stances, techniques, and movements, as well as the overall presentation of the form. Judges assess factors like accuracy, power, speed, balance, and intensity.
