Pennsylvania Combat Sports

Our Sons have had the best experiences at PACS. Now 15 & 17 they started their journeys with PACS at the young ages of 4 & 6. The self respect as well as the physical and mental strength gained was priceless. The family atmosphere of men, women & children of various ages and abilities was always inclusive and supportive. They learned lifelong skills & techniques of how to properly deal with so many various scenarios that may arise in their lifetimes. They learned how to lose, how to truly work and earn your place and how to win. They also learned that you can never be too prepared to help yourself as well as others at any given moment. They learned that the only thing you can truly control in this life is your reaction. The philosophies that Professor Casey exemplifies are those of integrity, honor and respect. We cannot recommend this invaluable community enough. It no doubtedly changed the trajectory of our boys high school careers by instilling confidence to keep their heads held high and their minds clear. Not too mention the edge it gave them in school sports. Honestly, I would choose to be a part of this community over and over again. Iron sharpens iron… always.

Highly recommend! The coaches and members are very good and knowledgeable. It has an atmosphere for learning and bettering yourself. So much respect for both the people and the sport. If your ever looking for something different and want to better yourself then step up and give it a shot.

My only regret is that I didn’t start training sooner. Casey has the real world knowledge for real life situations. All of the coaches are great people who will always stop and help. The gym is extremely clean and disrespect isn’t tolerated. Great for those who are experienced or for someone who’s brand new. This is the best gym in the area. The pricing is extremely fair. The confidence and knowledge you will learn here is unmatched. Not only will you train but you will become a better person. 10/10 would recommend.

Training here was an awesome experience that I can’t say enough about. As a beginner to mixed martial arts the environment was very welcoming and goal-oriented. Casey is a great coach who is knowledgeable, helpful, and will push you to do the best that you can. Other students in my Combat Striking class were equally as helpful and welcoming. When I started training in Boxing at my college, I felt like this class had given me a very good grasp of the basics, and had prepared me well for the future of my goals training in MMA. The mentality of hard work and focus in the gym is incredible. If you are in the area and are thinking of training for whatever your goals are, I can’t reccomend this place enough! Big thanks to everyone there that helped me out and gave me a passion for training in combat sports.

I starting training in PACS in 2020 as new hobby and way to decompress after grad school classes. The atmosphere is great--challenging, but not overly competitive, and overall very encouraging. Professor Casey and the entire coaching team provide expert instruction and facilitate an excellent gym culture. No matter what your goal, be it general fitness, self defense, or competition, there is a place for you here. Everyone is very welcoming and I love hitting the mats after a long day of studying or exams. I've gotten in the best physical shape of my life over the past year, and the boost in confidence and discipline has noticeably improved other areas of my life as well. If you're interested in real and effective martial arts, Pennsylvania Combat Sports is THE place to train!
