Premier Martial Arts teaches more than martial arts techniques – we empower our students and change lives. Hear from happy students and parents and see just how impactful martial arts can be in your life.
My grandson Noah Ramirez since he has been attending his karate classes, I have noticed that he has shown leadership skills and discipline, and confidence. What he has learned in his classes, he mentors and guides his little brother and others around him. He is very polite, confident and motivated. He really ejoys and cant wait for the next session. Thanks to everyone who mentors him. Keep up the good work Noah!!

If you’re looking for a fun, confidence-building, and nurturing environment for your little one, look no further than Premier Martial Arts! My 4-year-old son has been attending classes here for about a month, and I can’t say enough good things about this studio. From day one, the instructors are patient, energetic, and genuinely invested in helping kids grow. They balance structure and play, turning martial arts basics (like kicks and punches) into games that keep preschoolers hooked. If you’re on the fence about attending take the leap, your kids will thank you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

PMA is a fantastic place to get your kiddo started with Marshal arts. They offer several sessions with various age groups. My son has had a lot of fun sessions and enjoys the classes a lot. Coach Alejandro & Coach Robert are very professional, very patient and a master of their art and work fabulously with the kiddos.My son adores them very much! I would definitely highly recommend this place and Coach Robert & Alejandro any time!

I like Coach Tang because he's nice and makes me work hard. I like PMA because I like the combos and learning how to keep myself safe. Coach Regena makes me feel safe and happy.

Great program! Kids really enjoying the lessons
Fely MacMain
My 7 year old son has been participating in their program for almost three years. He has thoroughly enjoyed it and we've certainly seen an increase in his motor skill control and an improvement in his work ethic. The instructors here teach not only martial arts but also concepts of respect and other key skills young children need.

My son has been attending Premier Martial Arts at the Heights for just over a year now, and are very happy to have joined. Sensei Nick and his team not only teach martial arts skills but also make an effort to connect personally with each student, helping to build their self-confidence and support their personal growth. My son feels right at home in the dojo and looks forward to every class. While students may be at different skill levels and ranks within the same class, there’s a strong sense of mutual respect, as everyone is on their own individual journey of growth.
Jeroen Pollet
My nephew has been coming for a few months now and he loves it! He loves the teachers and how patient they are. He has gained so much confidence and is learning self discipline and respect. He is learning a skill that will last him a life time. Thank you Premier!!
Cassandra Torres
Ever since Alexa joined in 2022, Coach Robert and Coach Alejandro—along with other awesome student trainers—have been nothing short of amazing. They’re patient, encouraging, and really know how to connect with the kids. What I love most is that they don’t just teach martial arts as a sport—they focus on the full picture. They help the kids grow physically and mentally, building their character, confidence, and discipline every step of the way. I love this place, highly recommended!
Olga Hawwa
Good teaching of discipline and respect. It's a very different activity for my son than the team sports and is a great confidence builder. Sensei is very knowledgeable and good at teaching, but does take some getting used to with his sarcasm; when coupled with Coach T (who is great at interacting with the kids while teaching) it's a good dynamic that works with my son. Just a bit pricey for the time compared to other activities.
Chris Ochterbeck
The coaches are top notch, supportive and go above and beyond for their students. Super grateful my son is able to train here! He’s learned so much and is constantly leveling up his skills by training with Sensei Nick and the other coaches. Highly recommend Premier Martial Arts - Heights.

Flores Quinonez
I can't recommend Premier Martial Arts enough! Coaches Alejandro and Robert are absolutely phenomenal at what they do. Their passion for martial arts and their dedication to their students truly shine through in every class. They go above and beyond to ensure that each student feels supported, motivated, and challenged in the best way possible.
Both Alejandro and Robert are incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but what really sets them apart is how much they care for their students. They take the time to understand everyone's individual strengths and areas for improvement, creating a learning environment that's not only effective but also encouraging and fun. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced student, you're in great hands with these two amazing coaches!
Premier Martial Arts is lucky to have such talented and dedicated instructors. If you're looking for a place to explore and grow in martial arts and be part of a supportive community, this is the place to be!

Really great place for kids to learn MA. Great coaches, highly recommend!
Laurene Lizarzaburu
My son has been attending this MMA academy for some time now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the impact it has had on him. Mr. H is an incredible instructor—he’s not only skilled in martial arts but also deeply committed to the growth and well-being of each student. He teaches far beyond technique; he instills self-discipline, strong values, and encourages the kids to explore their full potential. You can tell he truly cares, not just as a coach but as a mentor for life. Mr. P, who often helps out with the kids is fantastic as well. Even though this is a side hustle for him, he manages the academy with incredible dedication and organization—it genuinely feels like a calling for him. Together, they’ve built more than just a training space—they’ve built a community. Parents are often included in various ways, which really reinforces the feeling that we’re all part of something meaningful. I’ve noticed such positive changes in my son since he started here—not just in physical strength and confidence, but in his attitude, focus, and overall character. This academy truly has everything a parent could hope for to help raise strong, respectful, and well-rounded kids.
Lily Monroy
This is an outstanding place, with excellent coaches offering high-quality training and unwavering support. Blending technical skill with deep thinking, all while maintaining a great sense of humor makes the martial arts learning enjoyable. I am truly grateful to see my son growing through this experience and building confidence, discipline and resilience. Thanks for providing such a complete and enriching martial arts journey!

Sensei Nick is incredible! He’s patient, disciplined and a fantastic teacher! My Godson absolutely loves the Dojo. 5 stars ✨ 💫🌟
Yvonne Cabral
Our son Brock has excelled under the direction of Sensei Nick. The support coaches are the best! Couldn’t be happier this group has brought Brock Michael Fly so much closer to his blackbelt.
M. Cabral Fly
As a student from this dojo, it’s safe to say that this is a family friendly place to learn Martial Arts. A combination of discipline and fun.
LUKE MAN
The staff at Premiere Martial Arts are amazing. I’m completely new to martial arts and they’ve been absolutely fantastic. With their guidance I’ve gained new skills and confidence that I carry with me every day. 10/10 highly recommended.
Stephen Murphey
I sincerely cannot say enough good things about The Heights studio! The degree of professionalism that all of the coaches bring to each of their classes and the studio in general is truly remarkable (and we are 5 days out of the week)! Sensei Nick is one of the most dedicated coaches we have ever met, and his passion to teach each student so they can reach their full potential is so greatly appreciated. He and Coach T love to work with my son so many times before and after class, and they do this as this is their calling. We are very grateful to have them guide our son through his black belt journey and would recommend this studio hands down.

Update: We are stll amazed with this Studio after all this time our kid has been attending.
Amazing coaches on PMA River Oaks. Our daughter loves going to her training sessions. 👍👍
Enrique Medina
This is the place to be! I have trained with Tommy Crouch and his staff on numerous occasions and can honestly tell you that he is a world class martial artist and more importantly a world class instructor. He and his team will provide you and your family a positive environment where you'll learn a lot more than just kicking and punching- they will give you the tools to become the best version of yourself. This is the perfect place for you and your family to train. Update! Still awesome!
Derek Croley
My daughter joined at the beginning of the school year for an extra curricular activity. We chose karate because she's been punching and kicking EVERYTHING. This dojo has been great building discipline, community, and creating a safe environment for the kids. They have really fun themed parent night out events for the kids and have opportunities to try it before you commit. Overall, great dojo and program! Would recommend 👌
Dolores Gonzalez
Update: after over a year of practice, we are still very happy with PMA. Come check them out! My kids come out of here sweaty and worn out, having had a fun time. This is the only sport they have never once complained about going to. The coaches are kind and respectful, and they emphasize leadership, confidence, and control. They challenge the kids physically and mentally, but they also give lots of positive praise and extra support and instruction when needed. My kids are learning martial arts, sure, but more importantly I have noticed positive growth in their character at home and in school. PMA River Oaks also offers some extras, like nerf wars kids' night out and a summer camp, that are a great value. We came here initially to have a ninja birthday party, which was awesome if you're considering having a party here, but we have stayed for the fitness, fellowship, and FUN. Thanks, PMA River Oaks! We will keep coming back!!
Kaia Nicole Kessler
From day one, my son was so excited and engaged. Coach Robert did the initial two 1:1 sessions, and the teachings reinforced and motivated my 7 year old to do the things we instill in him at home. We are just starting out, but I’m looking forward to watching him continue his journey

The best thing about this place are the coaches!

We truly appreciate his effort in making every class meaningful.
