PMA is the official New York Satellite affiliation for Dog Brothers Martial Arts, Inc.

"Dog Brothers Real Contact Stick Fighting" is a vigorous testing ground wherein everything is allowed, including empty hand striking and grappling. Members use the term "Real Contact" to distinguish their tournament from those that use the term "Full Contact", but the fighters and/or the sticks are padded. The intense adrenal experience attained during fighting contributed to the development of DBMA training concepts.

The group has developed some innovative training methods out of this experience, which teaches weaponry as well as empty hand skills from which Dog Brothers Martial Arts was created.
