We’ve been coming here for about 5 months, my son loves it and looks forward to it. Mr. Parker treats all the students with respect and kindness. He greets every student when they come in and seems genuinely happy to see them, which is incredibly important to help create connection with his students. Not to mention his instruction is incredibly easy to follow, and perfectly catered to children’s attention spans. Every week they have a chore, and after completing it they get premier bucks that they can use to buy prizes. Which builds good habits in the end. I left a different company because my son didn’t feel welcome. This is completely different. I’m glad we made the switch. Can’t recommend them enough. Worth every penny. 👏🏽🫶🏽

My son has been coming here for a little over a year. It definitely has a family feel and we love that. My son is 7 now and started when he was almost 6. He LOVES karate. He has learned so many valuable skills that transcend karate technique. They teach the kids respect, teamwork, hard work, perseverance, how to pay attention, how to take direction, to be good listeners, etc. Jandon adores Coach Meshel and Coach Miwa. And when we miss class, he tells me he's sad he missed. He also loves that they trust him to use weapons appropriately. They allow the kids agency over their person with stern oversight. Excellent karate studio.

I absolutely LOVE this studio and location! I was looking for a self defense class as an adult female and this was the first place I checked out. I’m so glad I did! The owner Sean was very welcoming and family oriented which I loved. The instructor Dante was 10/10. I feel much more confident and safer when I am traveling alone. I made amazing friends and got in incredible shape!

My son loves coming to karate classes. Senses are very patient and caring with all the kids.

Lo mejor que nos ha podido pasar! Excelente académia!

We took our son for the first free trial class for toddlers. He completely loved it as it was a fun interactive class that really gets their attention and learns from it. He is excited to go again. We had previously tried another place and he wasn’t as interested as he was here. Definitely recommend.

The best decision we made my son loved it

Excellent instructors, very professional and nice environment

Congratulations to my son Nicolas Garcia for his first PMA tournament he did awesome I want to say thank you to Mrs Sally and Mr Manny for everything you guys do…

Great environment! Instructor Jesse is awesome and makes it a great experience!

We are excited that we found the perfect fit for our daughter. Everyone was so nice and very patient with my little one.

We are so impressed with the encouraging, individualized, and fun way the instructors approach developing each student. They are so patient and supportive with my 5 year old and he absolutely loves PMA!

My child just had his very first MMA training session here, and we couldn’t be happier! From the moment we walked in, sensei Luis and Demitrius were welcoming, patient, and encouraging. The coaches created a positive and disciplined environment that made my son feel safe and motivated to try something totally new. He left the class feeling proud, energized, and already asking when he could come back. It’s a great balance of physical activity, respect, and mental focus — exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend this studio to any parent considering martial arts for their child!

Our son has been attending lessons here for about 9 months and he absolutely loves it! Sensei Brett and Sensei Dominic are incredible with the kids. They empower them to be leaders, they encourage them to be the best they can, and to always be their best, for not only themselves but for and to others. Watching how they help these kids learn, grow and build confidence is truly one of the best aspects of PMA!

It is a very good school, I highly recommend it. My son likes it a lot and has learned many things. The teachers are very well trained and know very well how to do their job.

Great atmosphere for the kids… Instructor/ Teachers are very professional and hands-on with the kids Worth every penny 👌🏾

My son absolutely loves his experience at Premiere Martial Arts! The instructors are not only skilled but also incredibly supportive, helping him build confidence and discipline while having fun.

PMA has the best instructors and have a great environment. My son has not only matured but looks forward to attend all classes!!!

Best place for Martial Arts !!! My daughter did almost 2 years at Premier Martial arts, she developed self-confidence, focus, and self-defense skills. Her instructor Mr.Hernandez does an awesome job for the kids, keeps them sharp and discipline.

Great team managing the location. The kids love their classes. Highly recommended. Great for development.

My son attends their classes since they opened the studio and absolutely loves it. Instructors are very experienced, professional and great dealing with children!

They do a fantastic job blending discipline and fun into their lessons. My kids look forward to their classes every week. The tournaments are well run and exciting. PMA South Park is great.

I can’t say enough good things about this martial arts school. We put my son Andrew who is on the spectrum in it when he was six because of being bullied. They have helped him push himself to rise to every occasion. This place has become a second home. Austin, David, and Travis truly care about him and his progress through life not just martial arts. They have helped him grow in confidence, integrity, and joy. My son is so proud of himself and all he has accomplished. He knows he can do hard things and I am grateful to have this school apart of our village.

Awesome school the staff is really passionate and patient with the kids.

Premier Martial Arts is the place to go! David is a great teacher. Patient, kind, and level headed. I can’t think of a better place to bring your kids to teach them life skills, & self defense.

Good gym👍

Love this gym. Love the guys working here and love the owner!

I can’t say enough about David. He’s an absolute example to me about the pros of Martial arts. He’s so knowledgeable and also has a heart that is larger than a sea. If I had to point a child in any or family to a gym, it would be this one! You can always speak to David and expect to be heard to as well!

The instructors are awesome and do a great job with the kids!

David is a very knowledgeable and practiced Jiu Jitsu and MMA fighter, you won’t go wrong training here

David is an amazing owner, instructor, & martial artist. He embodies everything that martial arts stands for, discipline, respect, & integrity. Highly recommend stopping by & learning from him.

I had been thinking about martial arts for my son for a while. He is a very sweet boy but he for sure needs some discipline and I thought this would be a great fun way to achieve that. An offer for a free class came up on an ad so I jumped on it. My son loved it and I signed him up officially. The sensei is great with the kids yet firm about focus. Very impressed with that balance. I even made a friend with another parent the first day! I can't wait for him to get fully into the routine and he is super excited!

This class has given our little one so much confidence and brought him out of his shell. It was a rocky start because he’s so timid but they’ve been so patient and understanding with his shyness. 10/10 recommend.

Excellent sensei y professional. Nos gusta que transmite mensajes a los niños útiles para la vida y esto es muy importante para nosotros

Our son looks forward to his weekly class! The instructors work hard to keep the students engaged and explain the application of the skills they are teaching. I highly recommend!

This place is awesome! Highly skilled instructors teaching life saving techniques while making it fun. My two kids(14&9) entered as white belts and received personal attention to improve their skills.

Love it! Great team! My son LOVES IT!

Tabitha is so good with my kid & it’s a very clear environment ❤️

My grandson really enjoys his classes at Premier Martial Arts. The instructor is great with all the kids.

I brought my son during the summer break for a trial, he has worked so hard and has thoroughly enjoyed learning from his sensei.

Sensei Dion makes the class enjoyable for the kids. He encourages the students to master the concepts of discipline and focus with age appropriate mastery of the karate skills. Highly recommend Premier Martial Arts!

Premier Martial Arts I love doing karate with you and your pma team is nice and kind

Here at premiere martial arts , is loads of fun for our kids ! I love how they are all well instructed ! My daughter felt safe and overall she just wants to come back !

My son has been training with Premier Martial Arts in Ivy City since it opened three and a half years ago, starting at age 6. The instructors are terrific - kind, talented, and able to push kids just enough so that they learn without feeling overwhelmed or left behind. My son has built strength and confidence. Highly recommend!

My daughter loved it here!!!

You will see growth in your child’s behavior and technique. Amazing atmosphere and family like.

The instructors and staff are THE BEST. They are kind, patient, encouraging, and make you feel so welcome.

Let me just say I absolutely love Master Liner. My little 1 has been going there for a year. I definitely see the difference in his confidence, skill, and teamship. Master Liner treats his students like family. At the same time, he is patient and able to meet his students where they are in their learning curve. Also, Coach Michael is awesome too, he has talked to my little one and encourages him to bring it.

Bryce in this Premier Martial Arts location kindly and patiently helped me to get some useful general information.

This place was amazing to train at, I’ve probably made some of the fondest memories here. When I first came here I was a shy and awkward person, my confidence had skyrocketed and I found out my passion for martial arts, this place truly makes me feel happy and I will hold it dear to my heart. The teachers are nice the environment is great the high belts in class are nice and welcoming. Probably one of the best places to train at in Brighton.

Absolutely the best place for MMA. Instructors are phenomenal- we love it here! 1000/10 recommend!

My kids are all into martial arts. They practice at home and just love the coaches. The coaches have lesson plans and have completed control of their classes. I highly recommend this place

Very nice, persuasive, skilled and patient instructors

I would recommend PMA to parents. My daughter has learned so much in a year. The teachers are very helpful. If they see if she struggles they are always there to help.

My son robert has been coming here for less then 1 year , already received his yellow belt & loves coming to learn

We absolutely love this martial arts school! The instructors are incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely care about each and every student. They go above and beyond not only in teaching karate but also in building strong character and confidence in the kids. You can truly feel the sense of community and how much they value the families they serve. My daughter looks forward to every class and has grown so much since starting. We’re so grateful to be part of such a special place!

Our daughter loves learning at Premier Martial Arts especially from Sensei Kevin. We highly recommend you give this place a try!

Such a great place for my daughter to learn so many great life lessons. wonderful staff and a great group of people

Classes were great. Staff was helpful and motivating.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Premier Martial Arts for the incredible impact you’ve had on my daughter’s growth. Through your teaching, she’s not only learning martial arts but also gaining valuable life lessons—respect, discipline, confidence, and strong morals. It’s been truly inspiring to watch her develop both as a martial artist and as a person. Mr. David, Ms. Sally and Ms. Tabitha We’re so grateful for the guidance, patience, and dedication you show every day. Thank you for being such a positive influence in her life.

Great dojo and great energy. The kids love it and we love it !

My daughter attends here and is having a wonderful experience. The experienced instructors have helped her gain confidence, improve her physical fitness, and build friendships. I appreciate that the atmosphere is not overly strict, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes as long as they learn from them.

My daughter has been going to PMA for almost a year now. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate these instructors. They have really worked hard to build my daughter’s confidence, toughness and skill. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. It’s a very welcoming environment and you won’t regret sending your child here.

Mi hija ama premier martial arts en Wildwood, super recomiendo este lugar, por sus maestros muy preparados y el ambiente entre todos los alumnos es lo mejor, todos son muy amables!!

We have been at PMA McAllen for the last couple of years and we have loved it! Mr Jesse and Ms Tabitha are wonderful teachers and we are lucky to have them!

Premier Martial Arts in North Charleston has been a transformative experience for my family. The mentorship and example set by Sensei Dion have made a significant positive impact on my grandson, Matthew. Under Sensei Dion's guidance, Matthew has learned to channel his excess energy into constructive activities, which has been incredibly beneficial for his overall development. Inspired by the positive changes in Matthew, I decided to join Premier Martial Arts myself. The results have been nothing short of amazing. My health and endurance have improved, and I feel more energized and confident. The diverse range of classes, including karate, kickboxing, and self-defense, ensures that there is something for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. Premier Martial Arts has truly become a family affair for us. We are now a family of martial artists, growing in confidence and strength together. The supportive and welcoming community at the studio makes every session enjoyable and motivating. I highly recommend Premier Martial Arts to anyone looking to improve their physical fitness, mental focus, and overall well-being. Thank you, Sensei Dion, and the entire team at Premier Martial Arts, for creating such a positive and empowering environment! Note: This review reflects our personal experience and the positive impact Premier Martial Arts has had on our family.

Amazing instructors, fun classes for kids, and love the character building virtues they discuss monthly. Highly recommend

Kimberlee Ratliff Troy Blanton and Ariella Ratliff have learned a ton since starting at this school! Sensei Brett and Sensei Dom have taught the kids a ton!

A great place to learn martial arts the instructors are great. My kids take the class and I also take the adult class. The owners are great and wonderful also

Great atmosphere, friendly people, my Grandson really enjoys class. We highly recommend!

My daughter has loved the martial arts classes here. These guys are great and care about the kids they are working with! Definitely worth checking it out if you are interested in martial arts

We are absolutely thrilled with Premier Martial Arts and their martial arts classes! Instructors patience, kindness, and ability to connect with children is truly exceptional. They create a welcoming and supportive environment where kids feel encouraged to grow, both physically and mentally. Instructor Jameson has a remarkable way of teaching discipline, respect, and self-confidence—all while making classes fun and engaging. They take the time to understand each child's strengths and challenges, ensuring that every student feels valued and motivated. Our child has not only improved in martial arts but has also developed a sense of responsibility and determination, thanks to Instructor's Jameson guidance. If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares and inspires kids to be their best, look no further! Highly recommended!

My son has been attending since they opened over 4 years ago. He loves it and has learned so much. We love the instructors. Highly recommend PMA!

Both my kids had their first sessions here, they were very nervous to start but the team were great in coaching them and building their confidence.

My son is thriving at this place. They not only teach martial arts but they teach responsibility, patience, and respect! They are fun and energetic and make my son and myself laugh at every class. Could not recommend them more!

PMA Burlington is an upbeat, friendly and family-oriented training Dojo my son has attended the past 3 years. The staff is very flexible and incorporates parents into program activities and personal development goals of its members. PMA Burlington is highly recommended for kids and adults looking to better develop their confidence, empowerment, and overall focus. 5/5

I love this place! My son loves it here and he is 5 years old and they are so patient with teaching him! I highly recommend this place. If you don't believe me come try it for yourself!

Love this place. The staff is so helpful in developing the kids and letting them have fun while doing so. My son enjoys it very much, and we love going to show our support as well!

You're not going to find a better martial arts school anywhere else! David and his instructors are absolutely top-notch. They don't just teach the kids how to do moves; they instill an entire philosophy of self-discipline and parental respect into their lives. This is a place for children and teens to truly grow, not just busily occupy their time.

We booked a private class for a party for boys around age 11 and it was fantastic! The kids were so engaged and you could literally watch them grow more confident as the class went on. The instructor was so good with keeping their attention and teaching them to be disciplined (and good morals) while still having fun!

My amazing niece has gained so much confidence by going to PMA. She thrives in social situations and is learning how to interact with kids her age, older or younger. It’s so cool to see this program help kids.

This program is so inspiring! I’ve seen how Instructor David teaches the kids and not only helps them grow but how the kids have helped him grow. Such a motivating program for all ages.

Premier martial art arts has done wonders for my grandchild!!! We are super grateful to have them in our lives. It has been a positive experience for us. Their martial arts skill is great and the classes are fun!!! Thank you so much for helping us teach good morals and character development! We promise you will not regret trying this place out! The instructors are fabulous.

Premier martial arts is honestly the best martial arts school in the area! They have done an excellent job with my granddaughter helping her confidence grow and helping her be better behaved. She now is super respectful and sees discipline as a beneficial characteristic. Over other martial arts schools I feel like they truly do a great job of teaching character development. 100% I recommend PMA 💕

My 10 year old loves PMA. Hes such a shy quiet kid, but thanks for PMA and their amazing teacher, hes grown so much and gained so much confident. I would definitely recommend PMA to everyone that wants to learn with the best teachers ever.

Great atmosphere

Premiere Martial Arts in Canton, GA, has been a fantastic experience for my 12-year-old son, who has autism and ADHD. I've observed remarkable improvements in his behavior and attitude since he joined. Mrs. Amanda and Mr. E are exceptional instructors; they are always professional and incredibly patient, which has made a significant difference for him. We also had my son's birthday party at Premiere, and it was a wonderful experience. Although he doesn't have many friends at school, his martial arts class came to celebrate, and it truly made the day special for him. I highly recommend Premiere Martial Arts for anyone looking for a supportive and engaging environment for their children.
