Unparalleled Standards!

Our unparalleled standards make us the world’s best.

Once selected, they are put through an intense and rigorous series of training colleges to guarantee the quality of instruction that our students will receive. Once a Premier Martial Arts instructor is certified to teach our unique and effective system, they are then required to receive 40 hours of continuing martial arts and instructor education yearly.

About Us

Just Another Kid Sport? Think Again!

kids-karate

Premier Martial Arts is not just another after-school activity. Basketball, soccer, and baseball are all great activities for children, but Premier Martial Arts is personal development through a physical discipline.

Our exciting yet disciplined classes focus a child’s attention, thus improving his or her ability to learn. Learning builds a sense of accomplishment. With each new accomplishment a student’s self-confidence grows, and confidence is the first step in the empowerment of a person’s physical and mental abilities.

Once we begin to develop a student’s self-confidence, we are then able to instill the values of respect, courtesy, honesty, perseverance, and integrity that are the foundation of martial arts dating back thousands of years.

Furthermore, your child will develop perseverance, which is a non-quitting attitude to overcome life’s obstacles. Instilling a non-quitting attitude helps a child overcome challenges, to succeed in the face of adversity, and to be a goal setter, and a goal-getter.

These combined physical and character foundations that Premier Martial Arts develop helps children excel in their academic school studies, sports, and their social endeavors. It ensures that they will have the confidence in themselves and the character to make the right decisions when confronted with negative peer pressure. They will be leaders not followers.

About Us

No One Sits on the Bench!

Martial Arts is not a team sport, the only person that you are competing with is “Yourself.” Students come to us from age four to sixty four. Some students are in shape, while others are over-weight. Some come for self defense, fitness, and others for fun. Each person is treated as an equal, and is trained to the best of their own ability and potential. A student is never compared to anyone else. At Premier Martial Arts our instructors are there to guide, instruct, and motivate you to be the best that you can be.

Physical and Mental Empowerment is only a decision away! You don’t have to be in shape and there is no prior experience necessary. To experience the excitement and challenge of Premier Martial Arts, we invite you to come in and visit one of our martial arts centers or call us to begin your trial introductory martial arts course. You will have the opportunity to speak with the instructors and meet our friendly and professional staff. Through this course, you’ll get a first hand understanding of the excitement, energy and empowerment of our school.
