Premier Martial Arts teaches more than martial arts techniques – we empower our students and change lives. Hear from happy students and parents and see just how impactful martial arts can be in your life.
Signing Joe up for classes has changed his life! Before going to PMA, Joe struggled with self esteem, confidence, and participation in team sports. After the past year or so of being in PMA, Joe has shown tremendous growth and maturity. Joe’s teachers have even noticed such an improvement from even a few months ago to now. Sensei Austin has such a fantastic way of connecting with the kids and being effective when correcting moves or behaviors. He knows every kid in each class and specific things about them which makes it personal. Sensei Austin ensure the class know they have to be a good person before a good martial artist, and it shows. Sensei China is amazing to watch keep all the operations smooth and moving, on top of knowing all the kids and their families. Nothing gets by her. It’s great to watch her connect with the kids and encourage them to do the best they can do when learning and performing moves. Sensei Kam and Sensi Danny are phenomenal role models to Joe and he looks up to them almost like a brother. Never did I think signing Joe up for martial arts to help him learn some discipline for team sports would have such a feeling of being part of a family.

My son (9) has been attending for 4 months now and loves it! He's gain confidence, focus and coordination - while having a great time and getting his energy out. They also have amazing birthday parties - Sensei Glen is the best!

My son has been taking classes at PMA for about a year and a half. He's had a great experience and has grown in many ways. His physical health, ability to focus, and willingness to try new and challenging things has increased significantly. The senseis have their own distinct personalities and they all work together seamlessly during class to help all of the students. Sensei China holds each child accountable with her high standards. Sensei Bobby notices the tiny little details and gives specific feedback to help each student make sure they're doing techniques properly. Sensei Austin runs the classes with a great mix of humor and clear instructions. The students learn to balance fun and taking things seriously. Sensei Cam inspires the students with his showmanship and Sensei Danny's patience is always evident. Together they make a great team and my family is so happy to be a part of PMA.

Our daughter started asking to join a martial arts class when she turned 5. From the first class, we were blown away by the attention and kindness of Sensei China, who walked our daughter through what to expect in the class. Right away, we could tell our daughter was hooked. It has been the one subscribed activity that she never tries to avoid or quit. She is pretty shy in new environments and wouldn’t talk in class.
A little over a month in, Sensei Austin took over leading our daughter’s class and it has made a world of difference. Immediately he had the kids focus on balance, focus, and respect to build up their foundations. He has an incredible talent for connecting with the kids, but holds them accountable and uses the promise of tornado kick demonstrations or zombie games to encourage the students to focus.
Our daughter is so proud of her accomplishments in class, she occasionally gets distracted admiring her electrical tape stripes and needs snapped back to attention. We’ve seen a huge boost in her confidence on and off the mat. She now shouts the student creed in class and puts some umph behind her punches and kicks.
All the staff are phenomenal and solely dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential.

Highly recommend, my son has been going for the last three years. I will say since the change in teachers I have noticed a huge difference. While previous teachers were very good I have to say sensei Austin and sensei China do a phenomenal job providing a structured yet fun atmosphere. They really make it feel like a home away from home, including all members of the family. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

Rylen has been attending this awsome dojo for almost 2 years now and the one year his belt graduation landed on his birthday Sensai Austin at the end of the session picked Rylen up on his shoulders and they all sang Happy Birthday! Rylen always talks about how much he loves going and learning more and more each class! Keep up the awsome work!
Chris Bouley
We took our 3yo for his first class and signed up for a monthly membership the same day. He had such a good time. Both instructors were very hands-on and had a great mix of fun and disciplinary cues.

**5/5 Stars – Fantastic experience for young learners!** My son, Aarav, joined Premier Martial Arts in Mechanicsburg just a month ago, and the progress he has made in such a short time is incredible! The entire staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making every visit a positive experience. The instructors are phenomenal with kids- they know exactly how to keep them engaged, motivated, and excited to learn. What sets this studio apart is their holistic approach: they don't just focus on teaching physical martial arts techniques, but also emphasize character development, overall behavior, respect, and discipline. Most importantly, they make sure the kids have an absolute blast while learning. Seeing Aarav build confidence and enjoy his classes so much has been amazing. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a supportive, fun, and high-quality martial arts environment!

My daughter has been taking classes at Premier Matias Arts for a little more than year and a half. The senseis are kind, energetic, and make each kid feel like they are special and welcome. Over the last few months, there has been a noticeable and intentional change in how students are engaging with each other on the mat. Higher belts are encouraged to take the lead and support lower belts with their techniques. This fosters improved relationships within the class and builds confidence. I truly enjoy watching my daughter have the confidence to help a neighbor by kindly pointing out how to make an adjustment. The senseis have established an environment where my daughter doesn’t feel poorly or critiqued if someone else points out an adjustment in one of her techniques. They are all striving for excellence together.
Jessica Robb
We absolutely love this place and couldn’t be happier with our experience! It has been so special watching our son grow—not only in his martial arts skills, but also in his confidence, discipline, and character. The instructors truly care about the kids and make them feel supported, encouraged, and proud of themselves. You can tell they put so much heart into what they do. We’re so grateful to have found such a positive and encouraging place for our son to learn and grow!!! 🥹
Erin
This place does a wonderful job with the kids. The instructors are personable, patient, and truly invested in each child’s confidence and development. They teach and enforce real standards — respect, discipline, and self-control — while also giving kids skills that could genuinely protect them if they’re ever in a bad situation. What my son is learning here goes way beyond martial arts moves; these are life skills that could one day save him. So grateful we found this school!
Paul Almquist
We’ve had a really great experience with Premier Martial Arts over the last 3+ years. All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and clearly know their stuff, but more importantly, they’re really good at working with the kids and getting that knowledge across to them. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and the instructors and staff have gone out of their way to accommodate our son when needed. We’ve seen a lot of growth in him since he started, both in martial arts and just in the young man he’s becoming. In our family, there's a motto "you can do hard things". I appreciate that PMA is a safe place where my son can challenge himself and overcome his perceived limitations. Even if it involves tears and sore muscles. Thank you Sensei Austin, Sensei China, and Sensei Bobby!

Very informative gym. Learned lots of new tricks, techniques and forms that’re very practical in the real world. Highly recommend

It's me! The one, and only student who is ACTUALLY putting in a FIVE STAR review of Premier Martial Arts! Well...I don't know-but enjoy reading! ('0') I started in January 2023. With of course my freaking introverted, stern, but sweet looking older brother Tatu-uh I-I mean. Let's not put in our names here people! Anyways, I have lost weight, volunteered, my ego got burned to the ground so hard it was instantaneous. I realized not to try to be like my brother to get attention. My favorites are kickboxing, and wrestling. (My kicks hurt!) Premier Martial Arts made me see my true colorful self. Made me a better person, instead of being like everyone else.
I made friends, and lost friends. Which made me stronger mentally and physically. It made me disciplined, it made me get into skateboarding, well the reason why I started skateboarding was because to get outside more. And I already did roller skating, so I had my eyes on it to the point my board is broken! I learned that I don't need to be like my cheerful brother at all. Even though he was more on the popular side, and had many teens his age talk to him. And even though I felt like his shadow. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT ANYMORE! Looking back at what I had. My big, resentful, fastidious, and envious ego didn't see what I actually did have until now. And until my brother and I took time off. (Which is right now, but we're coming back, I promise!) I actually want to go back to the dojo to do my own thing. Do tournaments, not try to force friendships. Which I freaking did, but I learned my lesson. Talk to adults because every single time I talk to one now, It's easy peasy. All I do is use my characteristic charm and my sanguine voice to talk to them like I talk to my parents. Respectfully. And I feel like the adults I talk to when I go to the gas station, or anywhere. They make me feel respected and optimistic about going back to the dojo. Not to make friends, but to be useful. And yes do I care about calling myself out? No. Do I feel ashamed of how I was in the past? No. Did I learn my lesson? Yes. Did Premier Martial Arts make me grow up? Yes. Are the coaches legit? Yes. Is it worth putting your ungrateful kid in the curriculum? Yes. (Therefore, the staff are not the babysitters, alright? IT'S MMA NOT THE DAYCARE FOR YOUR BAD CHILDREN OR CHILD). Can you do weapons too? Of course it's MMA. Can you join as an adult? Yes of course! Can you lose weight? Heck yeah! You gotta do about 50 or 100 sit ups or push ups! I'm not joking! it's brutal! Do you have to put in the work? Yes you lazy oaf-I mean yes! Of course! Just don't try to obviously skip the drills nor be impertinent to anyone.
It's not worth it, I mean one guy had to do a bunch of workouts when the rest of the students did class. Or you'll get checked by a coach. Ha! yeah go ahead and try. If you have made it this far, by reading a 13 year old's long freaking paragraphs and roasting her past self. Great job! Hope this review helps. And Premier Martial Arts made me persevering through my hard times. 🙂

Great instructors, family feel, very happy with the program.

My son has been going to PMA Plantation for years. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made. He has not only learned self-discipline while having fun, he’s gained confidence and great friends. The staff is amazing and it truly is great for families. The instructors have exceeded our expectations. We are blessed to have found this amazing dojo. Thank you for the amazing experiences and many more to come.
Angel LaSalle
The instructors are the best, they care and work extremely well with kids. I’m super impressed with their focus on character building as well as martial arts.
Tuan Pham
My grandson has been attending Premier Martial Art for almost 2 years and we love it. The teachers know the children on a personal level, they taught them different moves from different countries this year. Its been really nice to see him at 6yrs old develope and become his own little person. Thanks Mr Jas and Mr John
Roshanda Thomas
Sensei Austin and his team are phenomenal! He does an exceptional job of teaching the kids focus and discipline while also allowing them to be kids and have fun. Keeping a room full of 5-7 years old is a difficult task but he handles the chaos with a calm gentle levity that is instructive for the kids and entertaining for the adults. When kids are nervous or struggling the team works with them individually to build their skill and confidence. The whole team also puts the children’s personal and mental growth at the forefront of every lesson. They are truly doing their best to build not only better martial artists but better human beings. The student instructors that the school uses are also of the highest caliber and conduct themselves as excellent role models for the developing young ones.

Hello, good afternoon. I have a question: do you have staff available for someone who doesn't speak English? Can they take the classes?
Richard Espinoza
My son, Maverick, joined PMA this past February, From the very beginning, we noticed something special about Sensei Austin. The way he interacts with the kids immediately stood out to us. He is kind, patient, reassuring, and genuinely makes every child feel seen and comfortable. He knows when to encourage them, when to push them, and when to simply laugh and have fun with them. Honestly, he was one of the main reasons we decided to sign Maverick up. Since Austin became Lead Instructor, we’ve noticed PMA absolutely bursting at the seams with new kids, and it’s such an amazing thing to see! Austin was definitely made for this role. He is an incredible instructor and such a great role model for these kids. And then there’s Sensei China. She is absolutely amazing! The way she runs PMA, keeps everything moving, and somehow never misses a beat is incredible. You can tell how much heart, dedication, and love she puts into PMA and into every child who walks through those doors. Since Maverick moved up to BBT, we have watched his confidence absolutely SKYROCKET. The little boy who started in February is not the same kid we see walking into class now. He is more confident, more excited to try new things, and so proud of himself. He looks forward to class every single week, and seeing that excitement on his face means more to us than I can put into words. As a parent, there is nothing better than finding a place where your child feels supported, encouraged, safe, and genuinely happy. PMA has given Maverick that. I would recommend PMA to any family! We are so glad we took that introductory class and decided to become part of this wonderful PMA family. 💚🥋 Thank you to all of the Senseis for everything you do for these kids! 💚
Jessica Gutshall
My daughter just started classes here and absolutely loves it! According to her “The teachers are so nice and I love them! I like the feeling I have being in class. It’s so fun and I like it!” That’s a rave review 🙂 The facility is lovely and clean. The other families and students are very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!
Christina F C
We could not be happier with our experience at Premier Martial Arts! Since enrolling our son, we have seen remarkable growth in him both inside and outside the dojo.
Before starting classes, he was a bit more reserved, but now he is opening up so much more, talking freely, and expressing himself with newfound confidence! The instructors do an exceptional job of teaching core life skills like discipline, focus, and respect in a way that is engaging, supportive, and fun for the kids.
Seeing him build positive habits, listen better, and feel proud of his progress has been the absolute best part of this journey. The energy, structure, and care provided by the instructors make every class something he looks forward to. Thank you to the amazing team for making such a positive impact on our family!
Shyam Bhanushali
We have had a positive experience with Premier Martial Arts, but what has meant the most to us is the relationships our son (Titus) has developed with the Senseis. You can tell that the Senseis genuinely cares about the kids and takes the time to build relationships with them, while still expecting them to listen, learn, follow instruction and do their best. Our son enjoys going, he feels comfortable there, and we have watched his confidence and focus grow. And that matters to us as parents.
He has had a good experience with all of the Senseis, but Sensei Austin holds a special place in his heart. Our son has grown to trust him, and they speak to each other like little old men. (LOL). We don't take it lightly when our son trusts an adult enough to learn from them, and we are grateful for the relationship they have developed.
And then there is Sensei Chyna. Hands down, she is a boss! She keeps that dojo running. She is organized, attentive, and somehow manages to keep everything flowing even when there are kids and families going in every direction. But what I probably respect most about her is how she carries herself. She gives respect, and she expects it in return. She is firm when she needs to be, but never in a way that feels disrespectful or unnecessary. As someone who was active in Martial Arts, I know the importance of Sensai Chyna's presence. Our son gets to see a her leading, teaching, setting expectations, and commanding respect.
We are very thankful for the experience he has had there.

My 10 year old daughter goes to Premier Martial Arts. Without doubt, I can say they are above the league in this area. My daughter totally loves learning Karate there. I will be sending my 8 year old daughter starting December. They are professional, subject matter experts, and exactly know how to do Black Belt Training (BBT) for kids. Also, they don't make a herd of 30 students where kids don't learn anything. They keep a minute eye on each kid's learning, exactly know where kids are lagging, and specifically assist kids in improving those weaknesses. Not only are they best in BBT in the area, their customer service is also exceptional. Sensei Austin, Sensei China are really exceptional. I totally recommend Premier Martial Arts (PMA) to anyone and everyone in this area.
Ravi Agnihotri
Terrific coaching and support. The Premier team really cares about their student - they went out of their way to ensure I had a great experience.
Keith Annis
I’ve seen a massive change in my son since he started coming to PMA in Mechanicsburg. It’s about so much more than earning a belt. He’s learning real-life skills that extend far beyond the dojo. He’s more in control of himself at home, more polite, more driven, and more respectful. You can clearly see that he’s learning the building blocks to become a good person, while also becoming someone who has the confidence and ability to defend himself and others when necessary. And I owe that to two things (three things?): my son’s hard work and dedication, and his sensei’s commitment to teaching him. I couldn’t be more proud of the person he’s becoming.
Adam Moss
An incredible, inclusive Martial Arts community! We are incredibly grateful for the entire team at Premier Martial Arts and, most of all, for the incredible care and dedication the instructors and Senseis have shown toward our 7-year-old autistic son. From the very beginning, they have been so welcoming, inclusive, patient, and accommodating. They have gone above and beyond to understand his individual needs, meet him where he is, and find meaningful ways to help him learn, participate, and succeed. What stands out most is that they don’t simply teach him martial arts—they take the time to teach him. The Senseis have devoted extra time, patience, encouragement, and understanding to help him work through challenges while celebrating his strengths and accomplishments. They have created an environment where he feels accepted, supported, and genuinely capable. Since joining Premier Martial Arts, we have watched our son’s confidence, physical abilities, communication, and social development grow exponentially. He is becoming more comfortable trying new things, interacting with others, following directions, and believing in himself. Seeing him walk into class excited and proud of what he can accomplish means more to our family than we can put into words. It is clear that the instructors genuinely care about their students and are committed to helping every child succeed, regardless of their abilities or challenges. We cannot thank the Senseis enough for the positive impact they have had on our son. Premier Martial Arts has become so much more than a martial arts program for our family—it has become a place where our son feels valued, included, and empowered to be his best self. We highly recommend Premier Martial Arts to any family looking for an exceptional, inclusive, and caring environment for their child!
Bianca Crawford
We are so glad we decided to enroll our child at Premier Martial Arts. My child started at age 4 and has been attending for over 3 years. The growth in their confidence, focus, and discipline has been incredible. The instructors are always kind, encouraging and patient with all the children and they know how to keep them engaged while also teaching the fundamentals of martial arts, important life skills, and how to protect themselves in all situations - while still keeping it fun. My child genuinely always looks forward to class and really enjoys it. I have recommended several families to try this studio as we’ve been so pleased with our experience.
Megan Eckrich
Our son joined PMA about 3.5 years ago following a class at "Bring a Buddy" week. Since that time, the level of confidence, determination and belief that he can do anything he puts his mind to has been significant, with immeasurable thanks to the amazing PMA team. The last three months have particularly been spectacular, as we have enjoyed the structure and skills taught during each class. Sensei Austin has been phenomenal with our son, and every single student. We cannot give enough praise for this program. Each student is indeed "on a quest to be their best" and it most certainly shows at PMA.
Rebecca Watson
I wanted to take a moment to share the positive impact Sensai Austin and the entire team at Premier Martial Arts have had on my son. He has ADHD and has always struggled with maintaining interest in activities, regulating his emotions, and making friends. Since beginning his lessons at PMA, we have seen such a meaningful difference. He loves coming to class and has maintained that enthusiasm for over a year now. You have gone out of your way to learn what motivates him, tap into the things he wants to achieve, and meet him exactly where he is. One of the things I appreciate most is the way Sensai Austin handles him when he has an emotional overreaction. Rather than becoming frustrated with him, you turn those moments into opportunities to teach him. You speak to him with both authority and kindness, helping him understand his emotions while still holding him accountable. You have helped him build confidence, learn how to manage himself, and feel like he belongs. The patience, encouragement, and genuine care you and the PMA instructors show him means more to our family than I can put into words. Thank you for seeing him for who he is, believing in him, and helping him become the best version of himself. We are incredibly grateful for the positive influence you have had on his life.
Allison Kueck
We’ve absolutely loved our experience at Premier Martial Arts! From the beginning, our goal has always been for our son to learn not only how to defend themselves, but also how to do it with awareness, confidence, and respect.
What I love most is that the classes go beyond martial arts. The instructors encourage the kids to support and motivate each other, build confidence, and develop such a positive mindset. You can really see how much attention they give to each child individually, they notice their progress, their personality, and what they need to work on.
It’s been such a positive experience for our family, and we’re so happy we found a place where our son can learn, grow, and have fun at the same time! 🥋❤️

Valerie Hedge
The martial arts instructors here are fantastic! They not only do a great job teaching martial arts, but also emphasize important life lessons, character, and practical advice that the kids can carry with them outside of class. I feel really good about having both my son and daughter here and knowing they’re learning in such a positive and encouraging environment.
Cristina Ewert

They do an excellent job of building confidence, teaching discipline, and creating a positive, encouraging environment.

Moses
My kids got in not long but really enjoying it wish I started earlier.
Yvonne Kofie
This place will definitely build confidence for the kids and real combat mix martial art. I took my kids to other martial art classes for 4-5 months and no results, no confidence, no energy, or motivation. We gave up and went to premier martial art and everything completely changed. Now both of my son is confident and having fun while learning how to defend themselves. Definitely recommend to help all the shy kiddo to go here. Thank you for all your hard work helping my sons
Tom La
Premier Martial Arts in North Mount Pleasant is a fantastic place! My son has been getting better at his martial arts skills, making friendships, and learning how to honor the core values of this sport. Master Shaun is nice but firm with the kids, keeping the class flowing well every time. The owner, Jordan, makes everyone feel like they belong in the PMA family! We are big fans!
Aga Siuda

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Premier Martial Arts. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family. The instructors are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about every student’s growth—not just in martial arts, but in confidence, discipline, and character as well. The classes are well organized, challenging, and a lot of fun. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, they make everyone feel welcome and help you improve at your own pace. You can tell the staff truly loves what they do, and it creates such a positive and motivating environment. If you’re looking for a place that teaches respect, self-defense, confidence, and life skills while making every class enjoyable, Premier Martial Arts is the place to be. Joining has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation!

He has a great way of making classes fun while still teaching respect, focus, and responsibility. Mr. Hill and Mr. Heiss are wonderful as well, and it’s clear they genuinely care about each child’s success.
Kelsey Hazard
This is a great location. The instructors are very encouraging and make the classes fun while still instilling discipline and excellent conduct.

Diana Herrera
Signing my son up at Premier was one of the best decisions we've made. I wanted to help him build confidence and perseverance, and from day one, we've had an amazing experience. The sense of community at Premier is something we truly appreciate—it feels like more than just a place to train. Every instructor is kind, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the students' growth. They also make an effort to include the parents, which is fun. We're so grateful to be a part of such a positive and supportive environment!
Talacia Sadlouskos
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.
stephanie sobjack
Turn my son has been going to Premier martial arts for over 3 years. He started going to this location 2 years ago. He's in the black belt program. He is senior, and the Sensei uses him all the time for demonstrations. The Sensei is very very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this for young kids to start learning how to defend themselves, how to build their confidence in their self-esteem.
Steve Brewton
We love it here! I love all the instructors and this community really is something that we enjoy! They really are developing more than just ninjas. What they teach at all the schools is more than just kicking and punching they really do teach things they will go out and use in real life. And I appreciate that 🙏
