We had checked out a couple other martial arts studios in the area prior to PMA but as soon as we walked in we knew PMA was different. Our girls were nervous and intimidated their first intro class but the instructors were so awesome about going at our girls pace and making them feel comfortable and welcome. Our girl's have flourished in so many ways, even outside of martial arts. Particularly for them, their confidence & empathy. The girls have had the privilege of being instructed by Mr. Neves, Mr. Garcia and Mr. Guerrero. They are awesome instructors and people. They truly care about the students and their progress. And they're great about giving corrections and critiques in a constructive, positive way. The training is not only instructional but also fun. The training they receive is not just self defense and technique but also life lessons. They're tasked with "homework" related to self discipline, team work, etc. Belt testing is signed off by parents and their teacher. That way the students are held accountable for their eligibility to test for their next belt. I can't say enough about how happy we are to have found PMA but here are a few more: -class times and days work for many different schedules -very much a community feeling. lots of events/ activities to attend/participate in -Parents Night Out (it's a Friday night, there's a theme, parents drop off the kiddos for a few hours of play & fun) -adult classes available for parents and older siblings -studio is always clean

My granddaughter Victoria loves coming to this karate school! And why shouldn't she? The…read moreinstructors Josh and Nieves (hopefully I spelled correctly) are excellent. They are both very patient and make this an enjoyable self-defense school. Although the lessons are a lot of fun, especially for the youngsters, very important principles are reinforced in order to move up in rank from belt to belt. More than that, unheard of during my time studying martial arts, Premier Martial Arts-Plantation even asks for background reviews from the child's teachers in order to ensure principles of focus and respect are being followed. This makes Premier Martial Arts-Plantation a phenomenal black belt school.

This Karate school is so much larger than any karate school I have ever seen. The school is impressive with its size and wallpaper all around. The size for training takes a large amount of space so a person would not feel crowded. Parking area is more than sufficient but the most likable area of this school is what it teaches. I especially like the programs. A student can get a fixed class fee for three years saving money. A program for seniors, A program for young ones. The best is the program that teaches self-defense that completes within a month. The entire setup as I said is impressive and the people are truly nice. So are the instructors.
