I enrolled my daughter two months ago, and I have not regretted the decision at all. She's 12 and I wanted to equip her with the knowledge and skills to defend herself should she ever need to. However, it is more than just a self defense class (which are really awesome), PMA instructors focus not only on the physical aspect, but the over all well-being of an individual. The lessons that they teach will be a positive influence throughout your child's life, and well into adulthood. My husband and I are grateful that we were able to find a center that reflected our own home values.My daughter has learned so much from her instructor(s) and I can see that confidence in her more and more every day. So much so that I've decided to join one of their adult classes, in three short classes, I can already see a difference in my self, physically and mentally. I Will be enrolling my son in a month to join their program as well. I highly recommend this place. Not just for your kids, but as a whole family. Update - I've now enrolled my son, and have also joined their adult program along with the kick boxing classes they offer. I can't tell you how much we look forward to going to class each week. What a difference just a few short weeks make - my son is more focused, he's developing habits of self-discipline, and since he's a little guy, I can see how this is helping him get stronger physically and more coordinated. As for the adult program. I seriously can't say enough great things about it. Just join, you won't regret it. read more

I've been at Premier Martial Arts for a few years. In this time I learned so much from all the instructors. I've learned to believe in myself, to look for the positive and that I am able to push myself to accomplish my goals. I have lost over 130 pounds since starting back in 2017. I have only begun to gain the knowledge that all the instructors know. Being part of Premier Martial arts you are part of a family. They dont let you give up and they help you when you need it. It's a fun atmosphere with good cardio workouts for kick boxing and lots of martial arts knowledge as well as the different styles we learn. Hands down I would recommend Premier Martial Arts for anyone with kids and also adults. They have several classes available for your busy schedule. This is the place that has the IT factor. Check out Premier Martial Arts today. South 14th and Wylie locations. The Instructors will be happy to help you join! read more

HEY EVERYONE!! My personal experience here at Premier Martial Arts in Abilene has been an amazing and positive experience for the past 3 YEARS and still counting!! I started as a young troubled teenager, attending 2 classes a week, as the months went by I started to really grasp the knowledge and personal development I was being given. 6 months down this life changing road I started to help out with the kids classes, i found a love, passion and desire to teach the kids the SAME thing that had a life changing effect on me! Now 3 years in and at the age of 18, with 2 black belts, I work full time for Grand Master James Cox and I wouldn't change it for the world! read more

My grandpa put me in here when I was 11 years old some say I was a troubled kid... But Grand Master James cox Completely change my entire life! There is No other Martial Arts School That can Compare Not only in Abilene But ANYWHERE! The amount of respect, and confidence, courtesy, honesty, discipline and self defense that Mr. Cox and all the instructors implement into the kids is AMAZING! Premier Martial Arts Saved my life and I see it every day doing the same thing for every single student that is here! Everyone takes time to focus on every single child and adult, because They are exactly what they preach 1TEAM 1 FAMILY read more

Premier Martial Arts is an amazing place. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about everyone they train. Since I enrolled my daughter in I have seen so much improvement in her physically as well as her focus and confidence. I started Kickboxing classes for myself but then decided to take adult self defense classes also. I recommend PMA to any parent who is looking for extracurriculars for their child/children and also anyone looking for fitness, self defense training, etc for themselves. I am so very happy with my decision to take mma classes for my family from Premier Martial Arts. read more

I can not begin to describe how much this place has helped my family. My son has very bad ADHD and we put him in class and now he is not getting in trouble in school and is able to focus. My husband has always had a lot of pent up frustration and ever since starting class in always smiling and having a good time in class and out of class. We also absolutely love all the instructors they do a fantastic job even on the days my son has a hard time focusing. My daughter also does classes and it's amazing to me how much they are truly able to teach a 4 year old. Thank y'all so much for everything y'all do! read more

My children have been going to PMA for a little over a year. James has been amazing with us, working with us on an individual level to insure my children and I are happy and satisfied. They have helped instill values in my kids such as honesty, integrity, respect, positive attitude, good work ethics, etc. PMA is like a second family to us. My children have a confidence that they didn't used to have and I thank PMA for the role they've had in mine and my children's development and personal growth. read more

Our grandson won a birthday party and this was the beginning. PMA believes in strict self control and discipline. He started on his 7th birthday and we signed up for 3 years, but I see a life time as he enjoys his days, He will not let us miss a day. And all the instructors GM Cox, Mr Aaron, Mr Thomas and Mr Ethan are superb instructors to the younger students. Amazing to walk in and see all the students locked up on a black line waiting for instructions read more

Exceptional school with quality instructors! The atmosphere is welcoming and the people truly care. I train here whenever I am in Abilene and I always learn something while also having a great time. Special thanks to GM Cox for the detailed instruction and for always making extra time for us! read more
