Pentagon Mixed Martial Arts - Muay Thai & Jiu Jitsu

Pentagon Mixed Martial Arts teaches Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to kids and teens at its Youth Center in Arlington. The school says these classes build confidence, discipline and focus in a structured format. Its website names age tracks such as Young Warriors for ages 8 to 11, Teen Muay Thai and BJJ for 12 and up, and Little Warriors for ages 5 to 7.

The youth side also runs a school-day and seasonal program. The company describes an After School Program with pickup from local schools, plus Summer Camp and Spring Camp.

Adult training happens in a separate building. The school reports that its newer Performance Center, one block from the youth site, runs adult boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, along with other striking classes. It describes its instructors as world champions and says the adult classes suit beginners and experienced athletes alike.

The gym is open every day from noon to 9 PM. It holds a 4.9 rating across 277 Google reviews. Reviewers most often mention experienced, patient coaches, clean mats and a welcoming room for every skill level. Several also note separate striking and grappling areas plus a sauna.

The only criticism in recent reviews is about the style of the website, not the training. The website offers a one-week trial and posts class times and membership options.

Arlington had 236,254 residents in 2024 per the Census Bureau, in Arlington County. NOAA normals for 1991-2020 put annual precipitation at 41.8 inches and snowfall at 13.7 inches.

The doors open at noon, so plan on afternoon or evening training. Before your first visit, check which of the two buildings your class meets in, since kids and adults train a block apart.
