Part of Premier Martial Arts
Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews
PMA has been nothing, but blessings to our family. Before my son joined, we struggled with his behavior at school and at home. I thought that joining Martial Arts would make his anger issues worse, but he has learned so much about discipline, self-confidence, and about accountability.
We first discovered Premier Martial Arts through the City’s summer camp program two years ago, and their upbeat, engaging style immediately stood out. Though our busy lives kept us from signing up right away, when we started looking for a school for our 8-year-old daughter in August 2024, we tried several other places.
We absolutely love Premier Martial Arts! The staff and instructors are truly incredible—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth and success. Since joining, my daughter’s confidence has grown 100%.
My son has been coming to PMA for over three years. It has been an awesome experience. The instructors are wonderful! We love it here!
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Corpus Christi
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.
