From the reviews

We love our PMA family. My boys have both grown so much over the past 4 years. We admire and appreciate their instructors. They are kind, patient and are such amazing role models. I look forward to seeing where their martial arts journey takes them over the next 4.

Awesome all around. Great atmosphere, very encouraging, awesome staff! Grandmaster Garza really leads by example. Master Ben and staff including Ms Noelle, Mr Luke, Mr Matthew, Mr Christen, Ms Peyton, and Ms Emma are all exceptional and caring and they bring that out of the students as well.

Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts Dickinson

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.
