Welcome to Phoenix Dragon Martial Arts (PDMA)
Whether you are considering learning a martial art or simply want to stay in shape, this is the school for you. We teach three different forms of martial art styles along with our custom Innocent Warriors© Women's Self Defense five part series. Because health and fitness are equally important whether you are studying martial arts or not, we also provide custom cardio kickboxing classes for all levels of fitness.
Our school is a family oriented facility reaching youth and adult students here in Port Angeles, nearby Sequim and Joyce and as far away as Port Townsend, Forks and across the Washington Olympic Peninsula. Here at Phoenix Dragon Martial Arts our students learn power. Not so much the use of power as the control and ultimately the mastery of it. In Hapkido, it's just that, learning to control yourself in order to control your opponent. In Guazabara it is learning an awareness of your surroundings, understanding your options and always being prepared in case you are attacked. Our very own custom cardio kickboxing fitness programs have been developed to keep your heart rate up while strengthening your core and everything around it, whether you are a martial artist or just want to be physically fit like one.
For all its force and energy we also understand that some of the most basic principles such as balance and coordination can be instilled in even our youngest students. Beginning at age 2, our Kidkido and Youth programs bring children together, teaching discipline and basic techniques that build confidence and camaraderie among our younger class members.

Your instructors are Dave and Meghan Ventura, 1st Dan Black Belts and students of Master Edgardo Perez, one of only a few 8th Dan Hapkido masters in the U.S. Master Perez himself studied Hapkido in Korea under Grand Master Yu Chong Su. Trained in both Hapkido and Guazabara and certified by Master Perez as instructors, we take a great deal of pride in creating an environment in Port Angeles that is safe and fun to train in. Our Hapkido classes include Kidkido, (a Mommy and Me class) for ages 2 to 4, Youth and Junior Programs supporting ages 5 through 13, and our Adult Hapkido class for 13 and up. Gauzabara is an edged weapon self defense martial art for ages 18 and over. Warrior Fit is a custom designed core workout program developed by Meghan for all ages that want to take their physical and mental health to an all new level no matter what kind of shape you may be starting out in. Family/Group discounts are available and we always offer free first trials on any of our classes and programs. Please Contact Us as private lessons are also available for each of our offerings upon request.
Our custom Innocent Warriors© Women's Self Defense Seminar program is a unique five part revolving series that educates the student on varying and increasingly more dangerous scenarios. Each two-three hour session focuses on potential life threatening situations and techniques that can be used to avoid them altogether or escape from them once they occur.
Finally, the community we serve is very important to us and in this community as with so many others across the country, at-risk teens struggle with tough decisions that can effect the rest of their lives. It is our experience that troubled teens can benefit greatly from our self defensive form of Martial Arts together with our style of teaching. Often simply having a place that provides consistency, exercise and structure can make a huge difference in these young adult's lives. To that end we have developed S.M.A.R.T., Supportive Martial Arts Reaching Teens, a community sponsored outreach program for troubled teens.
"The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds hard to answer"
This school and the Arts we teach is our life, our love and our passion and it is that passion, you will find, that differentiates us from most other gyms and studios. Come in and share our fire!
David & Meghan
