PAMA began in 1979 as the "Water Street Exercise Studio" in the old
Petaluma Mill. The School moved to the historic McNear Building in
1981, and became "Petaluma Kenpo Karate School". The School has
enjoyed its current home in the Hatchery Building since 1983. In
2004, on the School's 25th Anniversary, it became the "Petaluma
Academy of Martial Arts".
Mr. Daniel Cuthbertson (known as "Mr. C." to
students) is the owner and head instructor of
Petaluma Academy of Martial Arts. For the past 27
years, Mr. C. has found that the discipline his school
teaches can help both adults and children to channel
their frustrations and agressiveness into a non-violent
outlet and manage anger in a positive way. Mr. C.'s
Kenpo and Escrima blend of training is excellent for
spontaneous response to attack, using anything and
everything available as a weapon. This training,
combined with kickboxing, helps students deal with
contact and helps build confidence and physical
endurance.
Mr. Grear Wilson has been a Kenpo Karate student since age
seven, and a Black Belt since age 21. Mr. Wilson inspires the
next generation of Martial Artists through his teaching style, in
which he combines the classic discipline and self-expression
of the martial arts to help his students have fun while they
learn. As Co-ordinator and Head Instructor of the Children's
Program, he draws on his own experience "growing up at the
karate school," which gives Mr. Wilson the patience and
perspective to bring out the best in his students.
