★★★★★ — Daniel, Jul 2022

My son Jayden is having a blast learning Karate. He has learned a lot in the short amount of time he has been there. They don’t just teach self defense they also teach kids the importance of honesty and to be self confident. Highly recommend

★★★★★ — Benny, Aug 2022

We are so proud of our daughter’s progress after being a member of the PMA Addison team for the last year. Her growth, focus and dedication to her martial arts practice is stronger because of the caring instructors.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Nov 2023

My 7 year old twin granddaughters, who are in Dallas for the summer, are having a wonderful time! I wish I would have enrolled them sooner. When they return to Dallas next year for the summer, I will be sure to enroll them. The program teaches core principles which includes: listening, respect and self-defense.

New to Karate? Start at Premier Martial Arts Addison

Premier Martial Arts Addison comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Addison

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
