Nick is the best!!! After a long time at home it was clear to me that my son needed a outlet. I have never seen someone so patient with children. He makes the class fun. My son went from being mopey and unfocused to not just focused but so happy. He practices all the time and cant wait to tell everyone about his classes. So glad to have such a great role model in his life!

When I was younger, they wanted me to do everything, if they didnt cost alot of money I would consider liking it more.

I was looking to get my wild child involved in something to reinforce confidence, responsibility, self-control, and self-defense and found the perfect place at Premier. The instructors are amazing: Cameron is made for this! In addition to 2 classes a week, they have a ton of events that are wholesome, entertaining, and even educational: parents night out, sleep overs, competitions, pool parties, etc. Were a Premier family and love our green and gold!

We love all our PMA Family but wanted to give a shout out to the Progam Director Ms. Candra! She is the glue that holds it all together! She makes sure all events are organized down to the tiny details and that they are extra special for the kids! She knows them all by name and cheers them on along with the families! 💚

Sensei Cameron does an amazing job getting the young students attention to keep them focused on training. My son has only been training for a couple of months and he’s already improving at home and at school. I’ve never seen him so dedicated. So glad I signed him up for lessons.

Would not recommend. I had an injury before I could even start attending classes that was going to have me out long term and when asking to cancel I was informed I couldn’t and still had to make the monthly payments despite not being able to utilize the membership. I was never informed of the cancellation policy prior and when I had asked, my question was side stepped. Felt pressured into signing up when I wasn’t 100% but felt like I couldn’t leave saying no with the feedback I was receiving. I cannot comment on teachers/classes as I was not able to attend, but it’s been 3 months and I’m still paying A LOT of money for a membership I cannot use. Ridiculous.

Our 12 year old and 6 year old sons started with Premier in September and it has been an awesome experience! I have seen growth in their confidence level since starting with Premier. The instructors are knowledgeable and work well with the kids. Sensei Cameron is awesome! My kids enjoy coming to class and they look up to him! Sensei Cameron encourages the kids to do their best and give their full potential.

We have been with Premier for nearly 3 years with our son & love the program. The instructor is amazing & the other staff is very helpful. We are moving soon & hate leaving this studio; it truly has a family feel to it & we will miss everyone here. Our son has learned so much about martial arts, but also values on being a good person.

Weve had our oldest daughter (currently 6 years old) at Premier for about a year and a half. She LOVES it! Were also getting our 3 year old enrolled soon as well. The entire staff is awesome! Not only are the kids learning martial arts, but they are having fun and are learning valuable life lessons. I highly recommend Premier Martial Arts!

My son joined Premier two years ago and he has benefitted in so many ways. He is stronger physically, but more importantly, he is stronger mentally and he has a lot more confidence. The mentoring that Master Aaron and his leadership gives is exceptional. My 3 year old daughter starts classes in a few weeks and I am so excited that she will learn to protect herself and hold her own!

The staff at Premier Martial Arts exemplify One Team One Family . Teaching martial arts, and life skills, with a staff who truly, honestly care about their students, mind, body, soul. My children have been students at Premier Martial Arts since 2008. I have seen my children blossom and excel under the tutelage of Master Aaron Hensley and his team of instructors. I can not imagine a better mental and physical growth experience for my children, and for myself. After years of sitting on the sidelines, I began to train with Aaron, and his staff. As an adult, it has been life changing. Aaron and Cameron, and Sandy are passionate, driven to help the students truly develop themselves to become the best version of themselves. #pmaforlife

Review №32

Very dissatisfied member. I signed my child up for classes and I was informed it would 110.00 monthly, no problem. I also paid 99.00 for equipment (gloves and a uniform) no problem. But without my knowledge, without my consent and without any signature from me on any document my debit card was charged 29.00 for yearly fees when I called the North Augusta location I spoke to Sandy Barsiq who was not helpful at all and kept repeating that its a yearly fee. I told her I never knew about this fee, Ive been in the location SEVERAL time, I never signed any paperwork for this fee at all. I will be removing my child and taking him elsewhere. Very poor customer service and lack of detail.

We have had a great experience at Premier Martial Arts in North Augusta, SC. The teachers and staff are very talented and nice and easy to work with. I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested in martial arts. My seven year old son really enjoys it and it has given him more confidence and focus at school and at home.

I see past reviews of the cost of PMA and while initially it is a big commitment, you get what you pay for. The teachers are most excellent, treat the kids so well, are tough on them, as well as encouraging and fun. Each class is different ensuring many skills are covered. My son has only been attending for a month, but we are very happy with our decision to join. Thanks PMA!

These ppl including the instructor are extremely rude and will teach your kids how to be the same. I have been in martial arts for 10 years and I have never seen such mess. Everything is for show and when I went talked them about joining not only they act like you dont exist but the way they tall to your kids gtfoh.

We have been apart of the N.A PMA family since March 2019. My son is learning SO much from Sensei Cameron. He really feels more confidence and enjoys learning how to become faster, be the best he can, and protect himself. In the past 5 months my son has learned alot and has a long way to go in his Black Belt Training, but he knows he can do this with his Senseis guidance. Thank you TEAM PMA!!!

Ive known Mr. Hensley through martial arts for over 25 years, and I can unequivocally state that he is an incredible Blackbelt of skill and character. The Hensley Family has a long record of creating champions - both in Karate and in Life.

My son had been a student for almost 3 years.When we started he was so shy and did not take.With love and support from Master Aaron and his staff. He has come out of his shell so well that he is now on the Demo team. I trust them with my child.That should tell you everything you need to know.

James started when he was 7 years old.We put him in karate for his focusing issues and hoping it would bring out his shell.With love and support from Master Aaron Hensley and Senci Cameron Smith he slowing started too trust them and began too believe he could do this and 9 years old we put him in leadership traning there he was forced to come out of his shell.With Master Aaron Hensley and Cameron Smith help we decided too have him compete in his competition. He did OK we all felt he needed another year of training. So next year he started completed in several tournament. He even got 1st place in several of them In 2017 he stated training for his black belt. The test was very hard alot of tears and pain But Cameron Smith would not let him give up The last day he really came out He sparred and showed us all he had come out of his shell .This year he stars competition as a black belt.With out there two men in his life pushing him with love and support he would not be the young man he is today

Review №63

We looked at several different martial arts schools in the area and then decided on PMA as a result of Master Aaron doing a lesson with the Cub Scouts. Amazing instructors and incredible lessons that will help my children for the rest of their lives. Couldnt be happier to call PMA home.

Review №64

My son has been going here since 2013. Over the years I have watch my son go from being very shy and quiet, to a very strong and confident young man. Alot of reviews complain about the cost (I think the cost is fine), but I promise you get what you pay for. You will get every pennys worth. You dont just get martial arts classes, you get mentors to look up to, you learn life skills, and you get to be part of a community that looks out for each other, and so much more. Premier is like a second family to my son. I am truly amazed at what he has achieved with them, and he has even surprised me a couple of times along the way. Everyone who works there from the instructors, to the assistants, afterschool teachers, front desk, everyone has such a positive attitude and loves all the students, it shows in the work they do. I am always reccommending my friends and co-workers to try Premier Martial Arts. You will not be disappointed.

Review №77

Not what I expected. I was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, which i earned at my childrens age, so I have some knowledge as to how martial arts should be trained. I signed two of my children up for 6 months, even though the fist lesson brought up red flags. Not only do they have the mentality of a crooked used car salesmen, with a sales pitch that directs you around any questions you ask instead of answering them plainly, (A sign of inferior product is always the hype instead of the product speaking for itself) but they play in class more that teach. The arrogant instructors allow behavior in high ranking belts that would have gotten me kicked out even as a white belt. Basically if you want a high dollar social club for your child than this is your place, but if you want your child to expand and excel while learning valuable skills find another place.
