Take a look at how Premier Martial Arts programs have positively impacted our students and their families. We couldn’t have said it better!
Watched grandson at his lesson. No time wasted did several different things and it was positive reinforcement.

Over the past year our little girl Bella has gained so much confidence thru her martial arts classes at PMA southside Lexington. She has been driven so hard , taking extra time to train outside of her classes and her progress has paid off . Her instructors are first class , and I’m proud of the leader she is becoming . I would recommend to any other parent thinking of signing their child up for martial arts that PMA is the place to go.

My Marcy just received her orange belt. I can’t even begin to describe how far she’s come mentally, emotionally, and confidently. I put her in karate due to low self esteem issues. (Those are a thing of the past now) I’ve waited this long to post a review because I’m very gun shy when it comes to endorsements. But Premier is the best. There’s no doubt about it. Not only is it incredibly affordable, but what you receive in return is categorically priceless. Mr. Ryan and Miss Lindsey have played such an important role in my daughter’s life in such a short time. Everything about the program is insanely thorough. Even the belt ceremonies are incredibly over the top (in a good way). Your kid will feel like an absolute superstar. If you are reading this and deciding if this is the best karate academy for your child, trust me. Do it. You will not regret it.
