My son loves Mr Guerrero's classes. He keeps the kids engaged with games while also making sure their form and posture are correct. We have been with Premier for a couple years and its been wonderful for our boy.

Both my kids attend PMA’s champions group and it’s been amazing to see the growth and independence they’ve both gained in such a short time! If your looking for a place for your kids to flourish come try out PMA!

Come visit!

Both my sons enjoy the classes and instructors. Premier Martial Arts teaches my sons discipline and values along with mixed martial arts techniques and exercise.

My daughters have been attending Premier Martial Arts for a year now, and it has been a great experience. Sensei and management team are professional, supportive, and truly invested in the students’ growth. Highly recommend!

Our boys (7 and 5 years old) have been going to Premier Martial Arts for nearly 5 months and we have had such a wonderful experience. We were having a hard time finding any activity/sport that they truly enjoyed going to. Not only do they enjoy going each week, but they actually want to keep working harder to improve their skills. It has been a great change in their confidence level and we are truly thankful that we found Premier Martial Arts. Jordan and Shaun are great with the kids- they are patient but also know how to keep all students focused. They both genuinely care about seeing each child advance to the next skill level. We looked into several martial arts studios in our area and are so happy we chose this one!

Here’s a polished and natural-sounding Google review you can copy and paste: ⸻ ★★★★★ 5/5 My son has been training at Premier Martial Arts Weston since 2022, and the results have been incredible. Not only has he grown physically stronger, but the mental benefits have been just as impressive — discipline, respect, focus, and self-confidence have all improved tremendously. This year he earned his black belt and began competing in local, regional, and even worldwide tournaments. We couldn’t be happier or prouder of his progress. The environment at PMA Weston truly feels like friends and family — supportive, positive, and motivating. The instructors genuinely care about the kids and their development. Highly recommended for any family looking for a great martial arts program!

Great and Growing every day in every way

The instructors have been exceptional. My son has taken classes for 2 years which has strengthened his confidence. He has really enjoyed working hard as he’s progressed through the belt levels. This is something he will continue to do once he graduates from HS.

Their program is excellent. Great instructors, lovely space, lots of schedule flexibility. I really appreciate all your staff and highly recommend your program to others!

We absolutely love Primer Martial Arts. The instructors are wonderful with the kids—they keep things fun and playful for the little ones while still providing structure, discipline, and real knowledge. We’re so excited to watch our son grow here!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premier Martial Arts Fairwood has been amazing for my daughter, Charlotte. She started here when she was 5 with her white belt, and now at 8 she’s earned her blue belt. The instructors are super caring and really make the classes fun and motivating. Charlotte looks forward to class every week and has gained so much confidence, discipline, and overall fitness. I also love that PMA teaches important life lessons—things like respect and not being afraid to take on challenges. With the new Premier class, she’s getting to learn more advanced weapons and even help teach younger kids, which she really enjoys. Highly recommend this school. Thank you to all the wonderful instructors!

We had my son's birthday party here in November. The staff was great. Very organized and kept the kids entertained the whole time. It was equal amounts fun karate moves and games. My son had a wonderful birthday. Plus, he got to cut his birthday cake with a sword!! What kid wouldn't love that?!

It’s a great place and the instructors work very well with the students.

Premier Martial Arts is an excellent place. The instructors place a strong emphasis on respect while also providing high-quality technical training. I’m very pleased with our experience and highly recommend it.

I edited this review. The previous corporation that owned this location was horrible. HOWEVER, the new owners truly care about the staff and the students. Teacher Caleb also really cares about the kids.

We had our daughter enrolled in this program for over a year and her experience was great overall. She was apprehensive at first because it was something new but the team was very reassuring and welcoming resulting in her ultimately deciding to give it a try. Ms. G. was really patient with her and really got her into the swing of things. Sometimes things could feel a bit disorganized and information sharing could have been better, but that could be improved with better utilization of their social media platforms. Overall decent program to place your kid into.

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

My son just joined Premier this year and he’s enjoying it so much!We noticed some Improvements like his strength and confidence.He’s more engaging and happier than ever before.He tried a couple Of sports activities and yet he can’t find one that he enjoys,we never saw how much enjoyment and engaging he is now on Martial Arts.Thankful for the support, how they accommodate our schedule and my son’s academics and they always make it a point That Patrick can make up on the days that he can’t be in class due to extra projects and homework he has at school.I’m giving it a 5 star!

Calum consistently goes above and beyond for our kiddos. Today, I needed to bring my daughter to class early so we could leave ahead of time, and he immediately stepped in to help. He took the time to work with her, making sure she didn’t miss out on anything and felt supported. His dedication, flexibility, and genuine care for his students really shine through. We’re so grateful for instructors like Calum who make a real difference.

Amazing experience with Coach Tori! My toddler got comfortable quick and that’s soo hard for her to do.

We have been part of PMA Fairwood since 2022, and it has been an absolute life-changing experience for our son. He was very shy at first, but over the past few years, we have noticed a drastic change in him. I thank all his Sensei's for offering a holistic approach to development, building confidence, discipline, focus, and respect, while significantly improving physical fitness, coordination, and self-defense skills. They teach non-violent conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and provide a structured environment for kids to set and achieve goals, fostering resilience and promoting better behavior in school and at home, making them well-rounded individuals. Thank you for all you do and for showing us that a "martial arts family" is very much a real thing. I highly recommend them.

Premier Martial Arts has been amazing for building confidence, discipline, and fitness. The instructors are professional, patient, and great with both kids and adults. The classes are structured, motivating, and always fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve skills, mindset, and overall well-being.

I was looking for a place to help my son build confidence, develop leadership skills, and learn how to defend himself. It’s safe to say PMA has exceeded my expectations. I love how encouraging the instructors are, how well they teach their students, and help build attention to detail in mastering techniques. After a few months of watching my son grow with confidence & strength, I decided to join. Everyone in class is very supportive and encouraging. I am having lots of fun learning how to defend myself and build my confidence as a woman. I recommend any female wanting to get fit and make new friends to join these adult classes. You’ll break a great sweat and the music they play helps get you motivated to not give up. In addition if you have a child needing or wanting to get fit & build positive confidence I strongly recommend having them join. 🥊

Coming from a student who was with the school since it started in renton, its a very good environment for the kids! My little sister juniper took classes there and she enjoyed it alot, the senseis are actually the best teachers ive ever seen, they give you the attention you need, help you fix the techniques you need to work on, and they actually tell you what you need to do, whether your a visual learner or a listening learner they literally have that all in stock. Overall best school ive been in and i encourage you and your family to join too 😀👍

My son has been coming here since the Fairwood location opened, and it has been such a positive experience for him. I truly believe it’s helped him build self-confidence and discipline. I also love that they offer a leadership program that introduces these qualities early and teaches the importance of leadership and soft skills at a young age. I’m genuinely grateful for the commitment and dedication of the instructors. Their senseis really know how to connect with kids and serve as great role models.

We ran into the PMA team at the Fire Prevention Festival and they were very interactive with the children. My son loved the interactive activities and we signed up for a free class and he's been hooked every since! Sensei Jack and Hannah are the best!

Great MA school, they really dedicate time to the students, they are patient for those who need that little extra support, we have seen huge improvement in other kids not only in ours, they don’t only focus on techniques but also the discipline and manners towards others. My son’s instructor Mr.Neves is amazing, you can tell he has the passion and patience to teach kids, other instructors also join the session and they are very good as well. 20/10 ❤️

10/10. Staff is super friendly and professional which I love. And the program has brought my son’s skill and level of confidence higher than I could’ve imagined.

We love West Town Premier Martial Arts! Mr Billy and Mr Xander create a welcoming and educational environment. My neurodivergent son has grown in many ways, just in 5 months. He is socializing and listening in class, he's practicing and tries hard in class. Even when there was a situation when my son was goofing around, Mr Xander very kindly explained how to shift his behavior and try again for a stripe. My son was encouraged to try again and he earned his stripe! All of their teachers are kind and experienced in the topics they teach. I highly recommend this location! We drive an hour each way, twice a week, to come to this specific location. It is no overstatement when I say that I am picky about who I trust with my son, and I trust Mr Billy and Mr Xander at West Town.

My 6 year old been going for few months and he loves it, there been great improvement in his coordination and discipline as well as techniques. I would recommend this place for anyone who want to introduce his kids to martial arts.

Excellent class

Premier Martial Arts Aventura is outstanding. The instructors teach real values that matter for kids like confidence, respect, and focus. Classes are always fun and full of energy, and the kids get great exercise without even noticing they are working hard. The team there knows how to motivate, support, and make every child feel proud of their progress. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a place that builds character and keeps kids active and excited to come back.

Great for the kids. They pay attention and focus on the needs of my son and still have with it. He loves it and it's affordable

My five year old daughter has been attending for a few weeks and I am beyond impressed with the staff and structure we have experienced so far. I can already tell her confidence is growing as well as her understanding of concepts such as respect and self discipline, all while she is having SO MUCH fun.

4.5 Coach Mike is excellent, the other staff are also great, friendly, and professional. Sometimes the info on the site is hard to figure out but staff help clarify. Overall 5 stars for my teen son, who is self-motivated to go to class and earn his belts.

My kids love this place. Coaches are very nice and professional.

My son loves doing martial arts at premier. They have been so supportive of each child and help them grow in their confidence. When my youngest son decided to try martial arts, they were so patient with him and encouraging (he has ASD level 3 and doesn't always do well following directions). Even when he was not wanting to participate they didn't give up on him until we were all sure he was no longer wanting to attend classes. Sensei Lindsey has always been patient with my sons (my eldest also has ASD but more of level 1) and treat them all so kindly and encourages them to do their best. Thank you Premier Martial Arts for creating a space where everyone can come and work towards black belt excellence!

A Martial Arts school that teaches strong character skills along with good quality martial arts.

My two girls are in premier martial arts, and I have to say what an improvement in their strength, confidence and discipline. I have to also thank all the instructors for their patients and hard work with the children. They are all exceptional.

Ms G is great and patient with the students. Definitely recommend Premier to all who wants their little one trained safe and right.

The instructors are phenomenal role models. They blend discipline with encouragement, teaching valuable life skills like respect, focus, and self-confidence alongside the physical techniques. My child looks forward to every single class and has made incredible progress, not just in their martial arts skills, but also in their overall behavior and self-esteem. The facility is always clean, the communication from the staff is excellent, and the atmosphere is exactly what we were hoping for. This is more than just a class; it’s an investment in my child’s development. Five stars all the way!

We joined PMA when it first opened, before the studio was finished (in 2022) and we are still going strong. The experience has been amazing for our kids and us to all grow together and learn the principles of martial arts.

PMA and Mr Matos are amazing! My 6yo daughter was very shy but interested and Mr Matos and the staff are always so friendly to her. Through her classes, they have worked to build her confidence, focus and responsibility and I couldn’t be happier! Thanks PMA!

Grateful to have met instructor Robby, Chris and the rest of the fantastic staff at this location. If it weren’t for relocating, my son would’ve continued training. They’re all fantastic professionals. If you’re thinking about signing your kid(s) up, take this as your sign to do it!

My son has been coming here for almost three years, and it’s been great for him. His confidence has grown a lot, and the coaches really care.

Coach Tori is outstanding! She has great blend of patience, knowledge, and intensity that is hard to find. What really sets her apart is how she’s invested in my entire family, even those off the mat. She is alway quick with an encouraging word and applies life lessons on and off the mat. Her teaching style is clear, motivating, and always focused on real improvement. You can tell she truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. If you’re looking for a school that can transform your abilities and support your family’s growth, Coach Tori at Premire highly recommended!

Coach Tori is the best martial arts coach in the world. She changed my life. Lowkey should get a raise.

We like the classes but Unleashed Brands not at all. I emailed PMA to let them know I would pay October and needed to pause membership for November and December. Never heard back from anyone. You have NO CONTROL over your account at all. Not happy with account and billing.

My 11-year-old daughter loves the classes here. That’s all that matters, really. But I also love to see her personal growth since we joined. I’d recommend to any parent.

Best Martial Arts school, very professional, clean and organized.

Coach Geoff does a great job. Here is the thing, it may appear that he is expecting a lot of the kids. That being said, the gyms and people who trained us as kids were focused on discipline, focus, and execution. He forwards that knowledge onto the kids and sometimes it appears that he is a little rough. But, as a lifelong martial artist, I assure you it is out of love and respect. He just wants to make our kids better. Sometimes, as parents, we forget that growth comes through overcoming challenges. Most commonly the challenges presented by ourselves.

We first learned about them through our daycare, and it has been such a wonderful experience. The program is designed with kids in mind—they even come to our daycare once a week and give families the option to attend Saturday classes, which makes it super convenient. The instructors are always friendly, patient, and positive with the little ones. They know how to keep kids engaged while teaching valuable lessons, and our kiddos absolutely love going. The teachers bring great energy and make every class fun and encouraging. One small suggestion: it would be amazing if they could offer a slightly different time, like Monday morning classes instead of Friday afternoons, since that might help even more families at our daycare participate. Of course, we understand scheduling can be tricky, but the interest is definitely there! Overall, Premier Martial Arts has been a fantastic addition to our daycare community. The kids look forward to it every week, and we couldn’t be happier with the positive impact it’s had.

Fantastic group classes!

Coach Jeff has been great! We’re learning a lot!

This has been such a great experience for our son. He has been attending PMA Fairwood for 3 years now. We enjoy watching him grow in such a positive way mentally & physically. Building confidence, integrity and new skills and all while having fun. Our son has made some great friends too with the PMA community. The Sensei's are very engaging, encouraging & knowledgeable and really care for the kids success at their level while also challenging them in a positive way to achieve their goals. We love PMA Fairwood!

We have loved this studio since the day we first came here and we really appreciate the Bowles family for allowing us to find the art of martial arts. We will greatly miss them and Sensi Deztini, they are great people! We are so sad they are closing this studio!

We absolutely love Premier martial arts! My son has grown so much mentally and physically since starting. All the Sensei's are wonderful, patient and big hearted. All the kids adore and respect them immensely. They not only teach martial arts but they also teach them how to be amazing humans. We love that it is a positive encouraging environment. Highly recommend them especially for the kiddos with ADHD as it teaches them to focus their energy into the right place.

Coach Troy is truly phenomenal! My son’s first day was Tuesday, and before the class was even over, he let me know he wanted to come back! Thank you so much Coach Troy for making my son feel welcome and excited for this new mixed martial arts journey!

A couple great.instructor. Appreciate there dedication.

The staff is friendly and genuinely cares about my child's learning. They use age-appropriate teaching techniques, and there are also exams and homework that cover important topics such as self-esteem, respect, and positivity.

Coach Jeff is an incredible martial arts instructor! Patient and fun with kids, yet enforces old-school discipline. He’s very knowledgeable in the martial arts and can break down techniques step-by-step in great detail.

The instructors are incredible with the students and the PMA wholistic approach for personal development is great too. We are very happy at PMA Fairwood!

Kevin and Kalvin are amazing instructors and just all around great people! Very friendly and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend taking classes here! I’ll definitely be back!

Kevin and Calvin are awesome! Cant wait to get started with my classes!

My kids love coming to karate class at Premier Martial Arts! The instructors are amazing - so patient, positive, and great with kids. We’ve seen a big improvement in confidence, focus, and respect since joining, and the kids are learning self defense and having fun. I highly recommend for any parents looking for a great kids’ karate program!

We look forward to coming here every week. Coach Jordan is amazing and really connects with each of his students. Classes are fun and engaging. After two months, definitely see an overall increase in focus and confidence in my 7 year old!

My son has had a great experience. He looks forward to class every week. The instructors are fantastic and this has been great for my son to work in concentration and focus. I highly recommend.

PMA Fairwood is not only a martial arts studio, but it is a place for personal development where the instructors get to know each child and work with them to help achieve their potential. This is the first activity my child has stuck with for 1+ years now and most of the reason is because of the instructors and environment created by the owners.

Amazing place to train your kids for martial arts and self defense. Family came here for girls scout special for self defense and the instructors were very professional and adapt to the student's age with their method of instruction. We recommend this spot as they offer specials and would really be good for your child's confidence. Must try! (Clean and organized inside too!)

My daughter is a founding member in Premier Martial arts. She started with them when they did not have a location yet. Her journey has been postive. All the sensi are awesome. They are professional, encouraging and helpful. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this community.

This is great school to learn marshal arts. The teachers are flexible and more cooperative. I could see my child’s progress on his self defense, focus, discipline etc. Recommend for anyone who is interested in Marshall arts.

My son loves it. Being the only child, it helps him to be social around others and gives him the confidence to speak up. Also he learns how to be respectful and understanding of self defense, not just how to attack.

very good instructors with lot of patience and answer any questions the parent have.

Our son is motivated to come 2 times per week for over a year now and continue to learn with friends in a low pressure environment. He is improving every week and loves his teachers who are so kind!! Shout out to Ms. Jess for weapons training! Ms. Kyah always likes to play with the kids. When I hear "yes ma'am" to doing chores, I am thankful to Premier Martial Arts!

The instructors are professional, patient, and truly care about the students’ progress. The classes are well organized, fun, and a great way to build confidence and discipline. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating. I highly recommend this place for both kids and adults who want to learn martial arts in a safe and supportive environment!

Premier Martial Arts Aventura has been amazing for my child. The instructors are patient, positive, and truly care about helping kids build confidence, focus, and discipline — not just learn kicks and punches. The atmosphere feels warm and family-oriented, and my child always leaves class smiling. Overall, a great place for kids (and adults) to grow both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!

Excelente academia. El ambiente es muy familiar y los instructores son muy pacientes y profesionales. Siempre están pendientes de cada estudiante y se nota que realmente les importa el progreso de todos. ¡Totalmente recomendada!

Great place for kids to learn focus and self improvement! Highly recommend the owners are super friendly and engaging!

I'm absolutely blown away by the instructors at Premier Martial Arts ! They're not just teaching karate, they're teaching life skills and confidence to the kids. Kane loves going to class and has learned so much. The instructors are super supportive, patient, and make the classes super fun. Highly recommend!

We love this place. Very professional staff

My son actually started when they first opened a few years ago and became black belt this year! 🎉🥳🎊. The way his confidence, discipline and love for the sport has increased is phenomenal. The team is awesome and really love what they do and the children. A 10 out of 10 recommend.

Awesome program, very polite instructors.We have been in the program for 2.5 years now. Wouldnt choose any other school.

Our family has had an amazing experience with Premier Martial Arts Folsom! Mr. O’Leary and Mr. G are incredibly dedicated instructors who truly care about each student’s progress. My kids are learning so much in the Black Belt program — not only in martial arts skills, but also in confidence, focus, and discipline. They look forward to every class and come home proud of what they’ve accomplished. The energy and encouragement from both instructors make a huge difference. Highly recommend Premier Martial Arts Folsom to any parent looking for great training and positive role models!

Both my kids, son 7 and daughter 16 have been going for almost a year now. They love class and the teachers. I love that not only are they learning self defense and discipline, but every class there’s a focus on the month’s topic. These topics range from respect to nutrition, where the instructor will talk about the importance of the subject as well as share real life experiences. Instructors are very passionate and care about the students. I highly recommend this school to all my friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing martial arts studio! My 7-year-old absolutely loves coming here. From day one, the instructors have been so patient, encouraging, and great with kids. They make the classes fun while still teaching discipline, respect, and real skills. I’ve watched my child become more confident, focused, and excited to learn something new each week. The environment is welcoming, clean, and very family-friendly. They always take time to make sure every kid feels included and supported. My child looks forward to class all week — it’s truly the highlight of their routine! If you’re looking for a martial arts studio that genuinely cares about kids, builds their confidence, and makes learning fun, this is the place. Couldn’t recommend it more! 🥋✨

My son has autism and ADHD. He was starting to have issues at school. We happened upon the Premier Martial Arts table at his school's block party. We went to a free lesson, and he was hooked. Since then, he has made huge leaps in not only self-control, but also coordination. For the number of sessions per month, the price is quite reasonable. Instructors work with students needing assistance learning while still enforcing the standards needed to advance.

My daughter has been attending Premier Martial Arts Fairwood for over two years, and we couldn't be happier! The instructors are patient, professional, and really care about helping each student grow in both skill and confidence. The classes are well-organized and fun. We've seen great improvement in her martial arts abilities. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a positive and supportive environment!

Excellent team and great place for first time learners! Very inclusive and supportive environment!
