Take a look at how Premier Martial Arts programs have positively impacted our students and their families. We couldn’t have said it better!
My son looks forward to class every week. I think we will be staying here for a while. Very good with little children too. Updated: As a martial artist myself I wanted to find a good place for my son. Not just a place that taught the physical but the mental aspects as well. As he is on the spectrum and at times nonverbal I did not know how it was going to go. In the 7 months he has been going here he has started talking and making friends. He has even started seeing "yes sir". During one of the huddle topics the topic of responsibility came up. My son is four and I figured it would go over his head. That's okay, he has plenty of time to learn. Later that night my wife and I were discussing things and the word responsibility came up. My son asked about it referencing Sensi Harrison. We were able to incorporate our son into our family conversations. That's worth any amount of money. My son looks forward to class every Monday and Wednesday. He feels he has learned a lot and comes home and shows us what he's learned (even tho we are there for class). Joining here has been one of the best decisions we have made and will be here for a long time.

We had a pleasure to enroll our son about a year ago in PMA with Mr. Harrison, and I have to say that he is hands down the coolest trainer around! Mr. Harrison is an expert in his field, with years of experience and a wealth of knowledge about kickboxing techniques and training methods. But what sets him apart is his ability to connect with kids on their level and make the learning process fun and exciting. My son was hooked from the first class – Mr. Harrison has an infectious enthusiasm and energy that is impossible to resist. He challenges the kids to push themselves to their limits while also making sure that they are having a blast in the process. The class itself is well-structured and engaging, with a great mix of drills, exercises, and games that keep the kids on their toes. Mr. Harrison is always coming up with new and creative ways to teach and inspire. But what really sets Mr. Harrison apart is his commitment to his students. He takes the time to get to know each child and understand their unique strengths and challenges, and he works tirelessly to help them reach their full potential. Overall, I would highly recommend Mr. Harrison to anyone looking for a kickboxing trainer for their child. He is an expert in his field, a gifted teacher, and – most importantly – an all-around cool guy who truly cares about his students.

This PMA school is the absolute best. It is very unassuming in it's presence and wonderful for your kids if they are usually overwhelmed in larger, or crowded, spaces. It's located in a small strip mall next to a music school and Mathnasium (which is convenient to coordinate if you have other kids needing these). We started martial arts to increase focus, discipline and redirect aggressive behavior we were seeing at home. We have learned SO much at PMA since we started over a year ago. I cannot say enough about this school and Sensei Harrison in particular. What my son has gained from him I am sure he will keep for a lifetime. He admires and respects him greatly. As with many other parents, the concern for most is the financial investment. We have 4 kids, and I have never regretted the investment we have made for our son at PMA.
