My daughter's experience at PMA has been nothing short of phenomenal. I was looking for a martial arts school that not only taught self-defense but also fostered discipline, confidence, and a sense of empowerment.Jess and her husband are not just skilled martial artists but also exceptional mentors who genuinely care about each student's progress. From day one, they created a positive and inclusive environment that encouraged my daughter to embrace the martial arts while having fun and overcoming natural hesitations.

I joined this dojo/studio roughly a year and a half ago with the intent of giving martial arts a try. The faculty have been nothing but good to me and really have treated us like family. They are extremely accommodating and patient when it comes to assisting students especially when they are first learning. From the moment I started I have enjoyed it thoroughly and excelled in the sport of tae Kwon do and I couldn’t of done it without them. This is the fittest and most athletic I have ever been I highly recommend giving this dojo a try.

Absolutely amazing place for different ages to learn Martial Arts. I’m glad I joined around 7 years ago because it really has made an impact on me, changing me. And the Owners Mr. Mike and Mrs. Jess are just as awesome, they have taught me a lot and I still have a lot to learn, I’m grateful to be in a type of learning space such as this. Couldn’t ask for a better martial arts school.

I joined around 6 years ago and couldn’t have gone to a better studio. Everyone is understanding, the instructors work with others very well, and watching the junior instructors learn is a good experience. Wish I could give more than five stars. Awesome place!

The school's motto is "One team, One Family" and they stand by it! Our oldest started 6 months ago and we have noticed an increase in his confidence. He tries hard at home to ensure he maintains a good standing with the instructors. During a tournament, all instructors were cheering the students and the junior instructors took the time to talk to the competitors to help ease their nerves.The instructors take their time to show the students the correct way to do things, and there are plenty of junior instructors walking around willing to help and correct.The owners are kind people and genuinely care about the students and their families. We just started our youngest there and she is loving it.My only regret is not starting them sooner and wasting time with other extra curricular activities.

I absolutely love Premier! Caring and family oriented. You won’t find anyone more dedicated than they are!! Mike and Jessica and their whole staff absolutely treat you with respect and dignity and help instill great moral values, manners and so much more into everyone that enters their building!

Been doing the teen/adult class for nearly 10 years. It truly feels like you with friends and family. We work hard but have fun doing it. In addition to the martial arts we also do self defense training which I would highly recommend for everyone.

My nephew goes there and the owners are the sweetest people. I plan on putting my daughter and son there next year. My nephew love it and the parents night out is super cool. Truly a great part of our slidell community.

The camaraderie experienced amongst the teams on the floor is second to none. It's an educational and physical experience, but also practical for defense in everyday life. Between the cardio workouts in sparring and muscle memory training, it's a fitness life-changer.

My child adores this dojo; however, at times there is a younger gentlemen whom I've noticed to play around more frequently than the others, while he is supposed to he teaching. It distracts both the teachers and the students. It disappoints me that he does this because he is a role model to the children of this dojo. There was another incident where a teacher with colourful hair snapped at my child for doing a move incorrectly, while I understand the frustration that is no reason to snap at my children, it makes me wonder whether she did this to others.

You just have to experience how good this place is. All the instructors are great and very knowledgeable. Just watching one class you can tell how much everyone cares about what they do.

All of the instructors are very welcoming, they make it feel like you are a part of their family right away. One of my kids was shy to start at first, but now going to karate, and advancing in karate, is all she talks about! I love being able to watch my kids do what they love in such a fun (and clean) environment!

For several years we struggled to find an extracurricular activity that our son could assimilate to. We found that and whole lot more at Premier Martial Arts in Slidell, LA.Their instructors have created an environment of inclusion, motivation and espri de corps that surpasses any of our expectations. Instructor Mike truly cares about each and every one of his students. In return, every one of the students truly cares for each other. It's an unbelievable atmosphere.The curriculum pushes everyone to be their best. They instill in their students attitude and discipline that extends past the studio.If you're looking for a place where you and your child can experience a true sense of community then Premier is your spot.Your child will be better for it!
