Big shout out to Ms. Kennedy for leading a fantastic birthday party at PMA Farragut and her masterful handling of two dozen rowdy 6-year-olds. All the kids had a blast and the party continued to be a hot topic of conversation the following at school from what I’ve heard.

This is a chain that only cares about your money. Over the course of three years, my son had over 10+ instructors. We never got any warning or notice about the change. We would just show up and there would be a new one. Each instructor had their own style that the kids basically had to start over to learn. So whenever my son made progress with an instructor, he would just disappear. Then a new one would come in, not knowing or caring what my son had already over come. Each one had different standards and requirements, so the kids would get confused. Any time I voiced a concern or issue I was told, "You signed up with the company, not an instructor." (They will get on here and say they send out texts now to alert parents of instructor changes, but that was a suggestion from a parent that happened within the first year we were there, and they are not consistent with it.)They lure the parents in to get them to join as well or even "work" there for free. I saw many moms doing jobs that they didn't need to be doing or even errands the owners/instructors could have done. It reminded me of a MLM scheme.They don't communicate well, hardly responding to messages ever. There were multiple times that we showed up for class and the studio would be closed.But honestly, the biggest thing was the lack of caring about the kids. They don't see your kids, just dollar bill signs.

Attended a birthday party there. Parker is awesome! Taught them a great blend of athletic and mental disciplines. I think my kid might actually brush his teeth tonite.

My son has been going to premier martial arts for a year now and has grown so much. Not only in confidence in himself but also he has grown in respect for others as well. Mike and Leah have done a phenomenal job at leading the kids in confidence, respect, honor. I love it and would recommend it to anyone!!!

Went to one of the children’s birthday party. My son is in his class. They had a great time! Combined 2 birthdays, lots of music and actives, the instructor did a great job keeping things moving and the kids happy. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Our girls have gained so much confidence since beginning classes at PMA. Mike, their sensei, is meant for this. There is a lot of fun involved, but the students are taught about the importance of responsibility, safety and RESPECT! Leah and Mike both create an environment that encourages growth and a feeling of belonging for each and every student that walks through the door. We appreciate greatly what this has done and continues to do for our girls.

AMAZING! The instructors, the classes, the other students! I have 3 kids attending and they look forward to it each day! Both Ms Leah and Mr Mike are amazing to work with and really care about the kids in each class. Hands down a great experience for both my kids and myself, especially since just moving to TN. It is more than a karate class, so much more! Would highly recommend taking their free personal lesson to allow the children to determine their own growth path! Excited to be part of a Family with Premier!

My son has been attending Premier Martial Arts for the past 4 months and absolutely loves it! The staff is phenomenal and the love they have for their students is awesome. My son has learned not only about martial arts but life skills as well! Perseverance, confidence and overall traits to being a well rounded human! Thank you PMA for everything you do! Also- we just had my son’s birthday party here and I know he and his friends had a blast! Thank you Mr. Parker for a great day!!!

We started my son in this program back over the summer and have been thrilled at all he has learned and continues to learn. The staff and senior students have a passion for both teaching and learning. It's not just about the "moves", those are a bonus, it's about building character in the students and we are excited to see what the future holds for our family here.

Our Daughter started with PMA almost 4 months ago. We enrolled her into the Black Belt Program. This is a commitment/contract for a 3 year program. It was a big decision for us, as well as our Daughter, but the tight decision. Our Daughter was/is very shy and withdrawn from social activities. In saying that, we did not just enroll her for the Self Defense, but the discipline, self confidence, and self awareness became the biggest reasons for our decision. Mr. Mike is very approachable and attentive to each child's needs. How he remembers each child and their reasons for joining, is beyond me. I mean... yes he has a job and structures the class to advance the children as needed, but he also has an approach to each child that differs from the next. You can see this in his actions and communication. Our Daughter has shown more signs of "coming out of her shell" every day. She is speaking more in public and with confidence. I was actually floored on day when she asked a store attendant where to find something. I've never seen her with the confidence to do this. She is not where we want her to be yet, but with hard work and direction PMA is putting into our Daughter, we feel she will get there. Thank you Mr. Mike and Ms. Leah for all the attention and work your putting into our little lady.

Just had our son’s birthday party at PMA Farragut, and Mr. Mike did such a great job hosting. The kids had a blast, and our son was on cloud nine. Thank you Mr. Mike for taking the time to make memories for our kids!

We had an amazing experience. My daughter learned so much in just one session. The staff, especially Gavin, was great! He was so positive and uplifting. My daughter was glowing from all the positive praise!

This place is fantastic!! My son loves it! The teachers are great and energetic. They are very patient and make it fun for the kids. It took awhile for my son to find an activity he likes and so far he loves martial arts!!Danielle
