The classes they run
“The staff at Premier Martial Arts have consistently gone above and beyond to help my 2 children be successful not only in martial arts, but in school and at home as well.”
“So much so that I've decided to join one of their adult classes, in three short classes, I can already see a difference in my self, physically and mentally.”
“I started as a young troubled teenager, attending 2 classes a week, as the months went by I started to really grasp the knowledge and personal development I was being given.”
“However, it is more than just a self defense class (which are really awesome), PMA instructors focus not only on the physical aspect, but the over all well-being of an individual.”
Other martial arts here
“PMA is a Kajukembo black belt school, but also offers BJJ, adult kickboxing fitness classes and MMA fight classes.”

From the reviews
I enrolled my daughter two months ago, and I have not regretted the decision at all. She's 12 and I wanted to equip her with the knowledge and skills to defend herself should she ever need to.
My child started as a 5 year old to help with an overabundance of energy and learning self control to help with school. Not only did he quickly have the tools for self control, the way he has grown and progressed in discipline and physical strength is beyond my expectations.
Premier has taken my children in and taught them the value of hard work, honesty, integrity ,respect, etc .5 stars is not enough. My children are more confident in themselves and are not afraid to take on the world. I've also started adult classes for myself and the encouragement they offer is unmatched.
Thank you so much to Premier Martial Arts and all of its staff!! They feel so accomplished and empowered with what they have achieved. Thank you for pushing them to believe that they can do it and they have what it takes to be a black belt!
Your first Karate class at J.C. Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
