# PMA Holyhead: Gracie Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing Academy
PMA Holyhead is a martial arts academy in Holyhead offering Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing classes for children aged 7–12 and adults of all abilities. Founded by Head Coach Chris Pritchard—a 7th Dan karate and kickboxing instructor and Royce Gracie BJJ Black Belt—the academy combines expert instruction with a community-focused approach.
The school serves families and adults seeking genuine self-defence skills, improved fitness, and personal development beyond physical training. Children benefit from structured programmes building confidence, discipline, and respect, whilst adults enjoy welcoming classes suited to beginners through advanced students.
What sets PMA Holyhead apart is its proven retention rate: 90% of trial students stay. This success stems from the "family feel" atmosphere, expert coaching from a multi-disciplinary instructor, and a comprehensive 28-lesson Gracie BJJ curriculum covering 100+ real-world self-defence techniques. The academy is part of a successful network of eight schools across North Wales, bringing established expertise and proven teaching methods to Holyhead.
Rather than prioritising competition or ego, PMA Holyhead emphasises life skills, transformation, and happiness. The "Crazy April Deal" signals accessibility, whilst the emphasis on both kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers diverse training options for different goals and interests.
