Best never let down

I love martial arts classes

Amazing experience, my son has been going for 3 years and it helped him become more confident, mature and focused. All the instructors , Master Scott, Master Ian and Ms. Gabby are great with the kids, and are passionate in what they do. They are such positive role models for my son. They are supportive and willing to work with parents in overcoming any challenges. They have built a lasting bond with my son and our whole family.

My child really enjoyed her practice lesson.

Premier Martial Arts in Mount Pleasant is the best! Sensei Shaun does a great job of balancing fun with discipline. He has really earned the respect of the students and parents, and I have been a first hand witness to the confidence these kids are gaining. The owner, Jordan, is always welcoming and encouraging of the students. 10/10 would recommend to any child or adult.

The atmosphere is welcoming. Both life lessons and martial arts lessons are very good.

Very helpful and an easy process

Premier martial arts is such an amazing experience for my son and his friends. He has made so many close relationships through sensei Sean and Mr. Jordan we truly appreciate the effort that has gone into the lesson that they create for the children. We couldn’t imagine our week without our classes and we hold premier martial arts to the highest expectations

The staff is amazing, and the training program has been excellent for my son. In less than six months, I’ve noticed a remarkable change in his behavior, confidence, and interactions with others. The instructors and staff are consistently respectful, caring, and professional. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences every time we visit. Thank you for all that you do—keep up the fantastic work!

This place is great, the instructors are all very knowledgeable, nice a friendly.

This is the most amazing place. The entire staff is so welcoming. They’re so good at helping children and adults feel comfortable doing something new. From being welcomed when you walk in by the smiling face of Noelle to the instruction received by Ben, Matthew, Peyton, Christen, Emma, and Luke, the staff here is unmatched. The amount of strength and confidence both my daughter and I have gained from this studio and these instructors is so much more than I expected. If you’re thinking about giving it a try, the first two classes are free!

My son has enjoyed taking part in this class & making friends over the past year.

My son enjoying the classes under awesome instructor - Mr John and also Mr Jason.

This is a great karate class for the young children it helps them with good technique of self defense!

Premier Martial Arts McAllen Team is phenomenal, instruction is on point. The Team is very respectful and the kids absolutely love it even if it means putting in a little sweat. Great Job Team!

A huge thank you to Premier Martial Arts Denville and Sensei John and Coach Joelfor the positive impact they've had on Xander! He's gained confidence, discipline, focus, and a real love for learning. The instructors truly care about their students and create an environment where kids can grow both on and off the mat. Watching Xander develop new skills and believe in himself has been amazing. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommended! 🥋💪 #PremierMartialArts #DenvilleNJ #ProudDad #Confidence #Discipline #MartialArtsKids

My husband and I have been coming to PMA Decatur East since Sept. 2022. Kevin and Calvin are amazing senseis who have become like family to us! So much so, that we are giving serious thought to continuing our attendance even after black belt graduation. They have been practicing martial arts for almost 30 years and have a vast reservoir of experience in multiple disciplines. They give thorough instruction. Classes are organized and structured. The system is easy to follow and they make the techniques easy to learn. I appreciate their pragmatic approach to teaching, as well as the fun we have. After a long day of work, I look forward to going to PMA. And I feel confident in my abilities as a martial artist, should I need to utilize any of the self defense techniques learned while there.

My wife and I have been coming to PMA Decatur for over three years. Senseis Kevin and Calvin are professional and insightful. They find fun and creative ways to incorporate self defense and martial arts into our daily lives. They also provide practical ways to implement all the techniques you learn into real life scenarios, along with simple and effective ways to practice those techniques at home without extra equipment.

My child started this week and has been having an awesome time. Not to mention the instructors are GREAT with the children!

Really nice to onboard as new joiners and very helpful to explain the process. Initial test for my both kids are went very well to enroll.

this place is really tuff

Absolutely love this studio! They have had a huge impact on my 5 & 7 yr old! Highly recommend having your next birthday party here too! So much fun to watch all their little friends push themselves and do something different. Everyone had so much fun and they took care of everything. It was the least amount of work I've put into any party, yet still the most memorable!

These people are the real thing! They don't Just strengthen their students physically, they strengthen them mentally. I have four of our six children in this school and that's only because two of our children are grown. This is preparation for life. Blessings 🙏 to our Sensei's .

Mr James is the coolest, and the kids really enjoy this place which is perfect for them to stay active.

Really a good school !! They really focused on developing kids ! 👏

My niece is loving it. Great environment and wonderful trainers. They are so patient with toddlers.

Jordan and Bryce were very inviting. I had never taken a self-defense class and they made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. Right away they introduced me to techniques that were easy to grasp And not intimidating. I felt comfortable From the very beginning. I signed up for a year of self-defense and am excited to regain my power. If you are a beginner or looking to continue your Martial Arts practice, Premier Martial Arts Lakewood is a place I would definitely recommend.

best of best

My son has been doing karate here for a few months. We are loving it so far! The teachers are so patient, kind, and encouraging. I also really appreciate the focus on self discipline and integrity that they instill in the students. Definitely recommend!

Two years later and we still love PMA Concord. The instructors are great and really take their time to work with the kiddos. I would recommend joining if you're thinking about it😀.

We had an amazing experience with this martial arts program, especially with Coach Bryce and Coach Jordan. They were incredibly kind, patient, and supportive with my four children. They truly understand how to teach kids and manage the “chaos” that can come with a group of little ones while still keeping everything organized, safe, and engaging. My children learned real self-defense skills, but just as importantly, they had so much fun doing it. Beyond the techniques, we saw a real boost in their confidence, self-esteem, and discipline, which has carried over into their everyday behavior. You can tell both coaches are highly skilled and very knowledgeable in their craft, and they do a great job breaking things down in a way kids can understand and enjoy. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my kids. Highly recommend!

Great instructors, a positive atmosphere, and truly confidence‑building for kids. My son loves every class and had a smooth transition from his previous out‑of‑state Taekwondo school.

Amazing class, instructors are very knows and patient. Great place to instill confidence

La mejor escuela de artes marciales, en poco tiempo he visto mucho avance en mi hija , me gusta como imparten las clases y la manera de enseñar a los niños , motivándolos siempre a realizar cada actividad , Master Erica y Sensei Marco 🫶🏻

Both of my daughters are in Premiere Martial Arts in Bear and they love it! Mr John and Mr Jason are super supportive in their learning journey, instilling confidence while also making it fun for them. We love it, I recommend to any family. Thank you PMA!

This is a very structured and disciplined class! My daughter LOVES it and as they challenge her she grows and develops! I appreciate Mr John and Mr Jason. Black Belt Excellence!!!

Great instructors! Our daughter is building so much confidence! Thank you Master Scott, Ian, and Gabby!

great place, my sister loves take classes here

We’ve loved our year here! We enrolled our 4 year old boy, and it has been a great experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and work well with their students. 10/10 would recommend this studio!

If you are looking for a safe and fun place for your children to grow Premier Martial Arts is the place for you. We were looking for a martial arts place for our busy active 3 year old son. They started us off with a free session to test things out and we immediately fell in love. They welcomed him with open arms and taught the kids to welcome each other. In this technology filled world Premier is engaging the kids even in social skills apart from helping with focus, discipline, confidence and so much more. All of the Sensei’s there are one of a kind. I truly believe like our family you will have no regrets choosing this place.

I came here after soccer didn't work out, and it is simply the best!

We’ve been extremely happy with our experience at Premier Martial Arts Aventura over the past several months. My 6-year-old son genuinely looks forward to every class and stays motivated and engaged in a way we hadn’t seen in previous sports activities. What really stands out is the variety in every training session, no two classes feel the same, which keeps him interested and excited to come back. All Sensei bring a professional, patient, and encouraging approach, and it’s clear they know how to work with different personalities and learning styles. The teaching methods and the special approach toward children truly make a difference for kids who are eager to learn and grow. The organization is always excellent, and everyone is welcoming and respectful. We are very grateful to have found this school.

Nice facility, great lessons and wonderful instructors. Our daughters have been here about a year and they absolutely love it!!! Highly recommended.

My 5 year old son has been with Premier Martial Arts for nearly a year now. He always looks forward to going and has learned so much! The coaches are wonderful and patient with all the students and their needs. I would and have recommended PMA to anyone looking for martial arts lessons.

We recently enrolled our grand daughter. Great experience. Very kid friendly. Good music and instructors.

My 5 year daughter really enjoys going to the class. The two main instructors are very good with children and patient. They focus on teaching the kids to be good people as much as they do karate.

I have seen the BIGGEST difference in both of my boys behavior ever since joining PMA. They have so much more confidence, discipline, self control and respect!! We are so excited for them to join the summer break program so that they have more time with the incredible staff. Each class has a perfect mixture of training, fun mini games that challenge them and a reward system to further push them to be their best. Thank you specifically Mr.James and Mr. Lewis, my boys love you!

We love all of the instructors and the different lessons that they provide weekly. My son has learned a lot about discipline and work ethic here. I love that they incorporate other important lessons and skills that they can use in the real world such as stranger safety. They have so many events monthly and fun things for the kids to participate in.

Great school

Great group of instructors - very versatile and great with children my daughter has been going for over a month now and reminds me everyday she has to go to class. Very affordable and a great way to have your kids active and out the house.

We absolutely love this karate class! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly care about each child’s growth both on and off the mat. Since joining, my child has gained confidence, discipline, and respect while also having a ton of fun. The environment is positive, welcoming, and great for children of all skill levels. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an activity that builds character, focus, and self-esteem in their child!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Premier Martial Arts Bear. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in each child’s growth both in karate and in confidence. Since joining, my son has become more disciplined, focused, and motivated, and he genuinely looks forward to every class.

My son goes to this place and he absolutely loves it.

They're very patient and passionate about their gift. We really enjoy going and learning new ways to approach things in life differently. Thank you to the twins for making us feel welcomed.

PMA Bear is awesome. Mr. John is great with applying the monthly karate homework with kids life outside of karate.

Thank you to our amazing PMA Karate instructors for their dedication.

Very nice , my kid enjoying classes every week.

Our family love this class!

This great school fir martial arts.

One of the best experiences. Trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter is enjoying very much.

Excellent martial arts program with truly dedicated instructors. Mr. John and Jason are outstanding teachers who are patient, motivating, and great with kids. The classes are absolutely worth the price, especially the Premier classes on Fridays, which have made a huge difference in my child’s skills, discipline, and overall confidence. We’ve seen tremendous growth both inside and outside the class. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and high-quality martial arts program for their kids

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My daughter loves her karate class! The instructors are patient, supportive, and make learning fun. I’ve seen her confidence grow, and she’s always excited to go. Highly recommend!

I was introduced to al Garza’s premier martial arts about 3 years ago through their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program. There are some good schools in the area, but what set the agpma bjj program ahead of the rest for me was their class schedule. I start work at 7 am every morning and they’re the only school in the area that offers bjj class at 5 am. Having young kids and a family that require me to be very hands on in the evening, I couldn’t break away nightly to train. However, they do have very good night classes as well! Sooo, that’s what brought me to agpma. What kept me, was the agpma bjj family. This group has become such a huge part of our family’s life and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!

Staff is awesome with the students. My son loves it and has learned to be more disciplined. Mr. David has so much patience with the kids and he makes class fun for them. Thank you!

My daughter has become more confident and focused after she started training here

We recently celebrated my son's 8th birthday with a party at Premier. It was the best experience....parents and kids left saying it was the best party ever! My son has been attending classes for a little less than a year and loves coming to class every week. I have seen a positive influence on his confidence. He has made many new friendships as well. Sifu Jacob is an amazing instructor. He is organized in his lesson delivery and has a unique balance of structure and fun. He is able to adjust to meet individual learner needs without losing momentum for all learners.

The team here is great! For the age group of 3 - 4. Lessons are structured well and keeps the kids engaged. They do a great job of keeping the kids moving forward no matter where the kid is in their ability to focus which is great!

I went in last evening to discuss pricing and they were extremely transparent and informative. Definitely earned my business.

PMA ticks every single box for what a martial arts school should do. They teach discipline in the sense that students need to learn how to focus, and there is practical self defense that includes how to interact with the world so that fighting is a last resort. The instructors are always upbeat, and for small kids they emphasize more movement and focus (i.e., no wiggling or squirming while waiting). As students progress through the ranks and get older, the techniques get more advanced and fitness demands are increased, too. Students get to see their progress continuously through "stripe tests", increases in belt rank, and an end-of-year performance that includes every student. There are also classes outside of the usual class structure for those who want to be on a demonstration team, have graduated to advanced techniques, and who are close to completing a black belt. The school also ensures that *everyone* gets attention and time for training, including neurodivergent children and adults. The owner has spent a lot of time outside of class to support folks, and I've witnessed several kids over the last few years who have stuck with PMA for precisely that reason. I highly recommend checking out PMA! They run free classes for mothers in May and for fathers in June, too.

Great place. Great energy. My kiddo loves it here and I've been participating in some adult classes. Amazing encouragement from all staff. Janina keeps the place running smooth and goes above and beyond! Love it here

Great place to learn. Everyone is so welcoming and make you feel right at home. Love the Krav class!

Love this place! everyone is so good with the kids! I love watching my daughter get better every week. but there is so much more! they teach her respect, responsibility, and built her confidence! great place to go.

Signed my 6 year old up and he loves it! Everyone is so welcoming and nice!

Great place for families as well as anyone else who wants to learn the martial arts and all its avenues. For so many years, I have watched both owners and instructors pour their hearts into their students and invest in them to help them grown in all aspects of life. Highly recommend it. I also see my own grandkids attend PMA and grow as rounded young men. So proud of what they are learning from each class.

Highly recommend this school! They have awesome programs, an amazing family atmosphere with fun events, and the instructors are passionate about their students and their learning!
