Our daughters (11 & 9) have been attending PMA Plantation for a little over a year and we couldn't…read morebe happier by our decision to choose PMA. 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.

Krav Maga is a skill set that is very useful for self defense. They have 2 main rooms to teach where they can separate between advance and beginner students. We did their level one and they were so accommodating and considerate that I had a hand injury. They visually showed us techniques and had us partner up and practice ourselves, always correcting and encouraging along the way. We practiced pretend real world scenarios of attackers attempting to choke and grab and how we can overpower them to escape. They provide kicking and punching pads during the practice. The whole experience was enjoyable and fun. I would love to bring my dad here. We had the pleasure to meet the owner Randall who showed us around the studio, that is also super clean and maintained, and Kim our level one instructor. They were both such cool genuine people.

I was letting her know about if she can make sure my children changes his clothes and as I walked by she said in a low voice "and the payment" , it's how she said it, I don't have a problem with paying. They help with homework which is a plus. The Kung Fu exercises are great. The facility is clean the lady who cleans it is very nice nice as well. Be careful though with you child's belongings label everything. My child left his things there and it got taken. How? I don't know. It's a small business and family operated, you would think they would be able to see if someone would take someone's things because it's not that many children that go there. Maybe about 20-30 children and it's the same ones from after care to summer camp not too many new ones so they know all the children that come in that place and they should remember their belongings as well. I asked them if they seen it, of course they said no. I asked to see the video footage, they said it was inconclusive because it was too many children. To me they made it seem like oh well u lost your stuff, and I get that but in a small family owned business I didn't expect that. And with the amount of money that runs through that place they need to be more diligent of a situation like that. Eventually I just got my child's shoes back, after they sent a mass email to all parents. I reregistered my child, which I don't know why we have to pay again to register if the child has gone there before but I did because overall the program is good.
