INSTRUCTORS

Guro Phillip Palmejar

Phillip Palmejar began his martial arts journey prior to his teenage years after moving to Calaveras County from the California Bay Area. There he obtained the rank of 1st Dan Black Belt in the art of Tae Kwon Do in an attempt to counter act what he saw as an apparent lack of size and strength and to gain confidence.

The next step in his martial arts career began in the dynamic art of Jeet Kune Do. Originally gravitating to the art through the influence of Bruce Lee and his philosophies, Phillip has continued to study and train in Jeet Kune Do for over 15 years eventually obtaining his instructor certification under the tutelage of Sifu Roy Harris.

SEE WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY

My son has been attending the kids class for about 3 months now. The instructor, Philip is great-- he is very warm and patient with the kiddos. We've visited a few different dojos, and this one is by far the most affordable, with a friendly atmosphere and a relaxed, attentive instructor. You really get a sense that you are a part of a community, and you can tell that Sensei truly cares about the progress of each of his students. The kids class has mixed ages; my son is 9, but there are little ones as young as 5 in the program. The activities he uses to teach work well for all the age groups, and he will match kids when sparring. Overall, it has been a great experience for my son. He has learned a lot while having fun in the process. The only bad thing is that now he thinks its funny to pin Mama... LOL--- so it looks like I might need to start taking classes too!

I've trained under Sensei Phillip Palmejar since 2009 and I couldn't recommend his academy and his instruction more highly. Phillip is a highly gifted martial artist, kind person, and great teacher.I started as a complete beginner to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but other students have joined with previous experience. Phillip welcomes and accommodates many levels of experience and varying levels of commitment; I participate in 3 to 4 classes a week, while others train anywhere from 6 times a week to once a month.I like the fact that the environment of learning BJJ that Phillip encourages is friendly and not intimidating, but also is really respectful of the art.The academy is large, has clean beautiful mats, and is extremely accessible (close to the 5 and 163 in downtown SD).BJJ is super fun and P5 academy is a really welcoming place to begin training.

P5 Academy has the best transit access of all jiujitsu schools in San Diego. It is on both the blue and orange trolley lines as well as close to bus routes 2,3,7,11,30,50,120,150,215,235,901,923,992 as well as the special rush hour routes to and from downtown. Routes 5, 20, 170, 929 are just a few blocks further away.The facility is owner operated thus no going through some middleman or membership director with all kinds of conditions to join and train. There are 3 different rates based on whether you wish to train up to 2 days a week, 4 days a week, or on an unlimited basis. The membership costs are lower than most of the competition as well.Besides jiujitsu, JKD, MMA, Pankration, Filipino Martial Arts, and boxing are also offered. The facility has classes Saturday through Thursday (6 days a week). The classes are small and there is always a lot of personal attention, considerably more than you can get elsewhere. There are plentiful open mat times as well. The facility is clean, completely accessible, and you will find no egos. Phillip Palmejar (Black Belt under Roy Harris) as owner and instructor does an excellent job in giving you personal attention and answering all your martial arts related questions.The training environment is a place where everyone knows your name. Give P5 a try, I am glad that I did!
