Thanks to this location , My son at 7 is: 5x PCL National Champion 🥇 8x PCL GA State Champion 🥇 And no longer the shy kid he once was when he first started!

The best martial arts studio! The instructors are amazing with the kids. My kid can be skeptical about activities the first couple of times but they made him feel so comfortable that he had no problem jumping in and doing the class. I love that they teach them focus and discipline while they are having a great time in class. From the day we walked in, it’s been a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it.

Our kiddo has been attending Premier Martial Arts classes for nearly a year. After trying swim and soccer, we were striking out with something that kept him engaged and motivated. The Premier staff have provided a fun, supportive, and encouraging environment, even for the adults! We got to participate in a class and assist the kids with side kick practice. The 30 min classes are just right and there are multiple options to help meet your budget and schedule. The lessons they provide with homework to engage in conversation about respect, focus, responsibility, and more, is just as beneficial to us as parents as it is to our kiddo. Really appreciate the environment and experience we're getting at Premier!

Our son Lukas just started going to this amazing place. Lukas has autism and it was very hard finding a place that accepts and includes kids with special needs. He does everything like any other kid and he he is beyond happy to be included. It is his first time doing any kid of sport and he is beyond happy. The joy and happiness every time he goes there is unmatched. Staff is super professional, kind and absolutely great with all kids. We appreciate you for acceptance, and for being kind and amazing to our Lukas! 10 stars service!

I cannot say enough good things about PMA and Coach Regena. Our son has been attending now for 7 months and his overall motivation, attention and confidence have improved significantly. The team at PMA is friendly, responsive and above all else they are building an incredible community. THANK YOU TEAM PMA! SEE YOU ON THE MAT!

Our experience at Martial art South park has been absolutely amazing! The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and fantastic with kids. My son looks forward to every class. I highly recommend the studio to any parent looking for martial arts program for their kids!

Premier Marshal Arts(PMA)offers dynamic and transformative experiences for students. It delivers exceptional values for anyone committed to personal growth. I have seen the changes in my son. Their patience with younger learners making PMA ideal for families. The instructors deep knowledge in disciplines is matched by their ability to teach effectively. PMA is worth every penny. Highly recommend!!!

Ms. Regena and the staff are awesome ! My son has learned so much in a short amount of time . This class teaches good karate , good manners , respect and discipline.

We started our 4 year old in the Tiny Champs program and he absolutely loves it. They create an encouraging environment for the kids to have the confidence to do the classes and try new things. They also educate us on how the skills they are learning correlate with everyday life. We also enjoy as parents the fun interaction and involvement in class!! Glad to have chosen Premier Martial Arts for our son!

This Martial Arts studio has helped my daughter grow in confidence and discipline while making friends and getting to know the instructors while accomplishing ranks on belt's. She loves it while burning off energy and getting exercise

My daughter has been attending for a few years and thanks to her great instructors she was able to attain her Jr. black belt. Jameson is an amazing instructor who is passionate about what he does and it shows not only in the training but in the events he puts together for the students. He keeps them engaged and inspired to keep getting better.

My son and I attend the teen / adult class. The instructors are encouraging and knowledgeable. They not only teach us to defend ourselves, but they push us to get a great workout while also working on our mental focus. Discipline and proper respect for the use of force as purely self defense are points of importance. I also watch the young kids class sometimes while waiting for my class to begin. The instructors work well with the smaller kids as well. I would recommend PMA Highland Creek to people of all ages.

Love this place. My son has been going for 6 months; going to class here has helped his focus and spatial awareness. The instructions are that perfect balance of caring but firm.

Going on 2 years and nothing but great things to say

Great instructors. My 7 yr old loves the class. It brings out the best in her

I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn discipline and self defense for the whole family. Very family oriented.

Our child loves the classes and instructors here.

Our kiddo has been going to this studio for almost 3 years and we have seen so much positive mental and physical growth. We really appreciate the well-rounded approach to teaching a variety of traditional martial arts skills and self-defense techniques - along with social/emotional skill building around kindness, positivity, courage, self-discipline, etc.

Coach Brown is one of the best coaches I’ve ever had . He breaks down everything and makes you feel welcome . 10/10 would recommend

We had our son’s 5th birthday party here. It was fantastic! Sensei Craig was inviting, energetic and kind. It was well organized and relaxed thanks to Sensei Mike. We have been going to PMA for regular classes with my oldest for the past 4 years! I can’t say enough nice things! They weave topics like respect, self confidence and discipline into their martial arts teachings in a kid-friendly easy to engage format. It’s a great place!

Amazing instructors who have a great combination of knowledge, skill, and fun. My kid loves going and learning new things every week as well as discipline and self confidence.

I really like this place for my son. For a year, my son has learned a lot and is more committed every day....Mr Brown is an excellent trainer and very attentive to his students, and the place is very clean and pleasant.... thank you....

Super positive experience at our break a board with your buddy class. Teaching style of the instructors is excellent with focus on attention, repetition and body mechanics. Would definitely recommend for any level of student.

Great coaches and really get the kids excited! Love coming here 🙂

We love Premier Martial Arts. My 10 year old son and 15 year old daughter both take classes here and love it! They started at the location in North Knox and transferred to this location. The instructors here are amazing and really good with their kids. They teach the kids that they should try to resolve conflict peacefully, and the skills they learn here should be a last resort. I also took classes here for about a year and a half until an injury forced me to stop.

I am very happy that my son is in martial arts classes at Coconut Creek. The teachers are always very attentive to his progress, especially Mr. Brown, who is excellent. I really like the way he teaches students. And I love the place, it is clean and organized. I highly recommend it.

Mr. Brady was excellent working with my child, who is four, so creative approaches and a fun environment are key to her enjoying class. We are really thankful for the support in learning from PMA!

My daughter has attended for years, and enjoys tje program.

Update: Still changing lives through diligent coaching and kindness, this Dojo is the BEST place for you to learn martial arts, as a kid or an adult, in a safe, judgment-free zone, no matter your level of fitness. If you looking for ‘above and beyond’, in terms of coaching, and customer appreciation and service, look no further. This is mental meditation while becoming physically stronger. Kid classes and adult classes are equally phenomenal. You can’t put a price on holistic well being. Keep changing lives, Dijana and Austin! Our heartfelt gratitude.

Work well with my young son. Great opportunity to learn, exercise and learn true discipline

My son has been taking classes here for several months and loves it.

Our grandson Brooks has been taking this class and LOVES it. Austin is an awesome instructor and makes it fun and interesting for his students which encourages them to try harder to be better. Very positive and impressive !!

Excellent martial arts school! My 7 year old grandson had learned a lot on just a few months! Coach Austin is excellent with the kids and they really listen to him!!!

“I’ve had an amazing experience at this karate school! The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about each student’s progress. The classes are challenging yet fun, and the positive atmosphere makes learning enjoyable. My daughter gained confidence, discipline, and new skills—highly recommend this school to anyone looking to start or improve their karate journey!”

Chandler was amazing ! He supported all of our students that have a wide range of needs . Class was so much fun !

My son & daughter have both been going Premier Martial Arts McAllen for over 4 years & along the way mom & myself have started attending as well. Other than being a core memory experience as a family, it has been a pivotal part of our kids growth over the years. Seeing the self-confidence, perseverance, respect & the fun ninja stuff the kiddos do has been amazing.

We love Premier Martial Arts West Town! My daughter has been training for six years and the change in her has been amazing. She's gone from a timid little girl to a confident young woman. I feel better knowing that she can confidently defend herself with the skills she's learned if she ever found herself in a dangerous situation. We have had some amazing instructors over the years, most recently Mr. Xander for the past 2.5 years. We have literally watched him grow up on the mat, as he was a leadership student when my daughter first started. He has become an excellent instructor and has dedicated his life to teaching martial arts. He's the perfect mix of fun and discipline on the mat and Premier is lucky to have him!

My daughter has been attending Premier Martial Arts for the past couple of years. This team of instructors are not just there to teach martial arts but we're they excel is being a role model and a family to many. Very welcoming not only to the little ninjas but to the family as well.

Great place! Highly recommend this location. Xander has been great making this a worthwhile experience and a good constant. Expectations are realistic and goals are set from the get-go. This location cares about results and creating a Premier Martial Arts community.

By far one of the best karate studios ever!

My boys LOVE Premier Martial Arts!!

We have been members of Premier Martial Arts for several years. Most of our family has reached black belts. We have enjoyed our time with PMA and it has helped us all stay active and in shape over the years.

My 7 year old goes to Karate here twice a week. His instructors are his favorite part of the program. They keep a friendly and educational environment while making discipline and kindness a first priority. Don't hesitate to send your kids here, or even attend as an adult!

Great experience! We love all the instructors. They truly care about the children.

PMA of Okemos is amazing. Our son and daughter joined at 5 and 4. Over the last 2 year they have grown immensely with the help and mentorship of the sensei's, both kiddos have built focus, self control, body awareness and accountability. There is a team approach to learning which incorporated areas beyond martial arts. I would recommend PMA for anyone looking to improve themselves or their younger ones.

Amazing studio!!!

He was very good working with my daughter in class.

My son has been going to this studio for 2 years. He always goes to training with pleasure. These trainings give him strength and self-confidence. All teachers have a wonderful attitude towards children. I also have a younger son growing up and I will definitely take him to this studio. I recommend this studio 100%

Master Parker and Master Talon are amazing instructors. How they're able to keep the groups of kids focused, motivated and also provide the individual touch needed is really amazing. Our son looks forward to his bi-weekly classes more than almost anything else, and with the things he's learning there I couldn't be happier that that is the case.

We love PMA! My kids have learned to be excellent role models. I have seen my kids thrive. The employees are excellent; when you join PMA, you join a family.

This location has the best instructors! They are motivated to give the best! Kids love it!

Sensai Craig, Sensai Mike and Sensai Tyler are great. The kids learn while having fun.

In June it will be 3 years for Hunter and the difference it has made in his day to day life is AMAZING!

Our son joined in September and we have had the most amazing experience! The sensai's are the perfect mixture of understanding, teamwork, encouragement and holding the kids accountable. I have seen such an improvement in my sons grades, attitude and willingness to trust himself. Thank you!

Nick has been a pleasure to work with. Very intelligent and dedicated to his work. I have worked with him since he started the business and will continue for the foreseeable future. he tailors education and instruction to each client. He has a team of staff that is just as passionate as him about training. Worth every penny!!

I take time to post reviews until I am fully satisfied. My little one has been enrolled for little close to 3 years now and has been doing well in terms of self confidence and getting rid of shyness. All of the Sensai’s are great but my special shoutout to Sensai Erik for his incredible patience, dedication, love that he showers on kids. My little one never says no or shows lack of interest when he has his twice a week classes and that to me tells the affection he has towards his Sensai and the school. Keep up the good work!

"Very skillful and inspiring instructors in all-around training methods. Inspiring in discipline, positive behavior, and leading by example." Highly recommend 👌

My little boy has been with PMA for going on 6 months. I highly recommend their facility. The instructors are kind and patient with the children. I definitely see an improvement in structure in my son.

Great positive environment that pushes kids to work hard and have fun! Hit the mat or take some jabs with these great coaches.

Great place to get kids used to self defense! They teach kids with care and my son looks forward to his weekly classes!

Best karate studio hands down! My son and I have both been taking classes here for the past 3 years and love it! Sensei Craig and Sensei Mike are wonderful instructors. The kids have so much fun in class while learning important life skills. My son has learned so much from them. It’s been wonderful to watch how much his confidence has grown. They also offer adult classes in self defense and kickboxing. I love the atmosphere of camaraderie in class. The skills I’ve learned have left me feeling strong and confident and it’s been wonderful stress relief. Highly recommend. My son had his birthday party there a few years ago as well and it was one of the best parties he’s had. The kids loved it. And you get to cut your cake with a real samurai sword! If you are considering starting karate either for yourself or your child Premier Martial Arts is the best choice you can make!

Before my daughter joined, she struggled with self esteem issues and wanted to be alone. After some time, I quickly saw a change in her behavior and her confidence. Premier Martial Arts has not only helped her personal life but her work ethic.

Tonight was the adult class. 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm ( Monday & Wednesday nights) My son has been attending Premier Martial Arts for over 3 years now and has his black belt. He loves it. They learn about hand to hand combat. To always be on guard and protect themselves in any situation that may arise. They provide other classes for all different range of ages.

Instructor Josh is so patient with the kids. My son loves going here. It's fun to watch the kids in class gain so much confidence in themselves and their skills. We highly recommend trying a class.

My child attends classes here, and we absolutely love it, the sensei’s are great, very good with the kids. They are funny, friendly and supportive.

Our son has grown so much in almost a full first year of martial arts. He loves his class and the skills he's learning. He has learned self-regulation and focus and those abilities are carrying over to school and home. He recently was named student of the month at his elementary school when we had a history of principal visits in the past. He loves going to class and the encouragement he gets from his instructors and is so proud with each hard earned belt. The instructors have figured out what makes him motivated and encourage him past what he even thinks he can do and share in the victories when he does. Very positive and encouraging martial arts studio and we are glad to be a PMA family.

We hosted a birthday party here last weekend and it was fantastic! Parker lined up a great set of games for the kids and diligently kept everyone engaged. The kids had a blast! We received so many compliments from both kids and parents. Our son even got to cut his cake with a samurai sword! Highly recommend!

This place is great.my 11 year old has been going to this karate studio for 4 years. In November he achieved his black belt. He has two classes a week and really enjoys attending the dojo. They work hard and have some fun at the same time. As a parent I feel my son is getting a great education in marshal arts for a reasonable price.

Premier MMA is a fantastic martial arts studio! I have four kids of different ages enrolled and I’m beyond impressed with the instructors’ ability to engage and challenge each one. They’ve gained confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills in a fun, supportive environment. Highly recommend!

Excellent martial arts school, the instructors are good and very dedicated to the children.

Me encantaría conocer este lugar u que mi hijo aprenda a tener seguridad en sí mismo ,

Mis bebés aman estar aquí. Son felices y han aprendido mucho. Los instructors son excelentes.

Very kids-friendly and fun. Very professional and polite. My kid loved it.

Very good couches

Very good couches

Update: one of my kids completed blacbelt and still want to continue for next level ...excellent place for kids to learn discipline and focus...5 star ! Excellent place. My kids always look forward to attend these classes. They even practice karate moves at home so we ended up buying them small punching bag. Thank you for developing so much discipline, focus and self control to my kids and I would love to see them reaching the black belt.

We've been coming here for a couple of years, and our 6-year-old son has shown incredible growth both mentally and physically. The staff is amazing, and we look forward to many more years ahead!

My son it’s been assisting for the past few weeks and so far he really enjoys coming here & also very friendly with kids. Highly recommend !

This place has a great staff and great facility. Our 5 year old loves going every week to run drills and learn technique.

Great place to take your kid and very professional

The staff is very welcoming and AMAZING 👏! I love the positive environment and the values they are teaching the students. We love this place. I highly recommend this place!

My grandson has been attending PMA classes for over 6 months now and absolutely loves coming! I find myself smiling and watching intensely as well! The love of teaching is very apparent with Master Parker. He is always keeping it creative, challenging and fun while instilling respect, confidence, and responsibility to his students! Watching the young people gives me great hope for our future. I highly recommend these classes!

Premier Martial Arts has always been a great learning experience for my son. He’s grown so much in the amount of time he has been there. All 3 sensei’s are amazing and really teach the kids how to properly execute the moves their teaching. Recommend 10/10.

My sons have been with Premier Martial Arts since the start-up, and I can say the progress has immense! They really tailor to your children’s needs along with the parents. IMr.Nick is great at providing affordable flexible payment schedules including amazing siblings discounts to make monthly membership hassle-free.The instructors, Ms.Ally and Mr.Kamal are also incredible and patient with a tough-love approach. With team effort, giving your kiddos a welcoming disciplined environment that is also fun and rigorous! I definitely recommend.

Our daughter has been attending Premier Martial Arts for a little over a year now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She’s enrolled in the Black Belt Program, which comes with an additional fee but is absolutely worth it. The program includes extended class times and weapons training, offering a more comprehensive martial arts education. She goes twice a week and looks forward to every class. What really stands out is how the instructors, particularly the head coach, take their roles seriously. They hold the kids accountable for their effort and behavior, both in class and at home. This has brought a noticeable level of discipline and respect into our household. Without any prompting from me, my daughter has started calling me “sir,” which is something I never expected but deeply appreciate. As someone who took martial arts as a child, I know firsthand the positive impact it can have. Premier Martial Arts provides a healthy outlet for burning off steam while instilling values like respect, focus, and perseverance. I highly recommend this program for any parent looking to help their child grow in a structured, positive environment.

Although there were some challenges early on with the changes and transitions, I’m pleased to say that the staff has really worked hard to address those issues and improve the overall experience. My son has been with the school since it first opened, and over time, I've seen a noticeable improvement not only in his technical skills in martial arts but also in his confidence, discipline, and respect. The instructors are dedicated, caring, and committed to providing an environment where kids can thrive—both on and off the mat. I’m really grateful for the positive impact this school has had on him, and it’s been amazing to watch him advance in ways I hadn't expected. The improvements are clear, and I am very happy with the direction the school is headed. It’s reassuring to know that he is in such capable hands.

They are very professional, friendly with children. My daughter is happy to come back every time.

Very good dojo for kids and adults. They make it fun but also intense enough to ensure growth in skills and fitness. Both my kids love it.
