About Us:

Panther City Martial Arts strives to make every student better. Professor Brayner Martinez and our experienced staff work together to build resilient people on and off the mat. Our goal at PCMA is for every individual to reach a new echelon of self-esteem and confidence. Our Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing classes focus on improving stamina and teaching what true discipline really is, building a greater sense of self and value. Professor Brayner implements his own unique program, helping students with their fitness and weight-loss goals. He combines traditional techniques and modern training methods that bring out everyone’s best. Professor Brayner provides a challenging but rewarding experience for all those who train at PCMA. With a great instructor to student ratio, students get a lot of individual attention and 1:1 instruction within the group classes. Having a clean facility is one of our top priorities and one of the attributes we hold in high regard.

Our History:

Co- Owner Professor Brayner’s long martial arts journey started in Venezuela over 30 years ago, beginning with Shonto Karate. Later, he worked with many influential instructors: Marcos Santos in BJJ, Orlando Rivera in Kickboxing, and Kru Phil Nurse in Muay Thai Kickboxing. His training with Kru led to Professor Brayner sparring with all time greats George Saint Pierre and Jon Jones. His long journey has made him a sought after speaker and instructor, carrying on his vast knowledge at Panther City Martial Arts.

Co-Owner and operator, Kristi Lundberg, is a homeschooling mom of three and diversified business woman. Originally from a small town in Minnesota, ended up in Fort Worth, TX in 2011 to pursue business opportunities. PCMA was added to her portfolio in 2022, when together with a group of members from another academy that was closing their doors, she joined forces with Professor Martinez to open PCMA and keep the momentum going.
