We really love what Premiere Martial Arts stands for and we love how well Master Craig runs this program. Master Craig and Mr. Purvis provide exceptional instruction and make each class fun. We really appreciate their hard work and dedication to each and every child. Premiere Martial Arts has helped to improve my childs mental health and overall well being by promoting and teaching important life skills both on and off the mat.

My son has now been with Master Craig for 7 years. His confidence soars, and he is still developing self discipline and teamwork. Master Craig has a great crew of teachers who genuinely care about the students. I wouldnt send my son anywhere else.

Premier Martial Arts Round Rock is incredible! When we started, my son lacked focus and concentration. Now he not only has improved his focus and concentration, but he has improved his self confidence, self discipline, and respect. He looks forward to every class and always has fun!

My 7 yr old son has been attending here for a few months. We were wanting to put him in something that would help to teach him focus as well as provide an activity for him. Im very pleased with their program. My son LOVES it and tells everyone about it. They teach about things like honesty and anger management, as well as self defense and martial arts skills, and they work with the kids at their level to improve. Im excited to see what all my son will continue to learn.

My son has been at Premier Martial arts since he was just a little over 3 years old. We could not even get him to wear pants. You know it is pretty important to wear pants in karate. Well we tried everything & I was ready to pull him out but Instead of giving up on my son, Master Craig said he would work with him and if he quit he would not learn anything, for 3 months he wore shorts. I am proud to say he now always wears his uniform & will be earning his 14th belt. The instructors who teach your children are the tribe that puts their all into your kids to learn about karate & character, morals and discipline, hard work & friendships. It really does take a tribe to help raise your kiddos. If you want to put them in a place where they are loved & taught more than just karate, I would sign up at Premier!🤗

My son has been attending since he was 3, he is nearly 7 now. These guys, Master Craig and Mr. Crow rock. Under their instruction he has made some great progress. These guys know how to handle kids of all ages, from normal to special needs children, they know how to motivate them properly. I wouldnt take mine anywhere else. If you are considering a martial arts program from your child, stop here first. You will not be disappointed.

We absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My 10 year old daughter was shy and not confident in her actions until we enrolled her in Premier Martial Arts in Round Rock. Now she is strong, confident and strives to be the best at everything. Master Gary Craig teaches the kids respect for themselves and for others, to be strong - mentally and physically, to make excellent grades in school and to be the best they can be. I would recommend Premier Martial Arts to anyone.

I really wanted to try this place for my son who is 6, but after 3 days of attempting to receive information about rates and classes I have yet to hear back. I completed the online submission on Wednesday and it said that I would hear something within 24 hrs, and I did receive a text with some info and asking how old and how many children I was interested in signing up. I thanked them for the reach out and responded with the requested information. I never heard back. I called that number (which is the Google listed number for the facility) received a denial and a text that I cant talk right now. I called the number suggested in the voicemail for the direct office number and again, voicemail. If I have to chase you down to take my business, I wont. I will be looking else where even though this location is the most convenient for us.

Premier Martial Arts is the best place that helps kids learn to protect them selves and at the same time teaches them to be respectful, kind, helpful with others and most of all the kids learn to accept themselves for who they are and never to give up on they want to achieve in life...... I highly recommend Premier Martial Arts to not only my family and friends but as well as every parent looking to put their kids in martial arts..... love you guys

We are very satisfied with this studio. Master Craig and Mr. Crow are some of the best instructors we have ever met. They teach students and parents quite well. We appreciate their warm and caring attitude. We have all been students going on two years. Master Craig once mentioned that we should all know how to swim while in water. And know how to defend ourselves against any who might do us harm on land. Wise instruction.

Our two young kids started over a year ago at age 4 and 7. I have seen them grow into more respectful and disciplined children. The statement said at the beginning of each class talking about common sense before self defense is a simple reminder for them that with their defense skills and abilities are only to be used in emergency situations. I love the fact that they are more aware of their surroundings and understand how to identify safe and unsafe situations. Our oldest child is now in black belt training and could not be happier with this after school activity. He is having fun and learning skills that will be with him for a lifetime.

We love Premier Martial Arts - Round Rock! The instructors are top notch! Our 10 year old daughter has been training at PMA for over 2 years now, and loves it. We love that the instructors place such emphasis on discipline, both physical and mental. They teach these kids life skills, not just martial arts.

Best decision we have ever made for our granddaughter. Teaches so much more than self defense. It truly is a family experience. Thank you Master Craig, Mr. Purvis and Mr. DeLeon for truly caring for the kids you teach. You show it is so much more than a job for you. Thank you.

My eight year old has been attending PMA for four months now and he loves it! They are a great team of kid-friendly professionals that keep the classes fun while teaching technique, control, self defense, discipline and respect to be practiced not only in their class but also towards parents, teachers and peers. Master Craig and Mr. T are always sure to show the kids when it is appropriate to use the techniques they are learning and how to get home safe. I love how encouraging they are and how well they can redirect attention in a positive way if the kids arent focused. Ms. Natalie is very helpful when we have questions or arent sure what to do and the kids just love how encouraging, sweet and funny she is. We look forward to class every week!

This is truly my happy place, I can be exhausted and sleep deprived but I drag myself to premier martial arts and within mins I am energized and full of life. Its not just about learning to protect myself, family or friends, but a renewed confidence that I able to do so despite being 5ft, 100lbs. I never felt that before, and now a year in and I am certain that I could fight off an attacker and get away safe and sound back to my family.The teachers here are amazing, patient, friendly and funny. They will motivate and teach you the ways of the street ninja lol. If you ever thought about a self defense class, this is the place. Based on real life situations this is it! Come take a class and see what’s it all about.

My son attends the little champs karate program and we absolutely love the class. Master Craig and Mr. Pervis and Mr. Deleon are really great with the kids. They work with my son outside of the karate school to help him succeed! Such a great program! I highly recommend it!

You guys ROCK! My children have been attending this location since October and I have seen an awesome turn around in their behavior, their grades and self esteem.

We LOVE PMA! Two of my children (ages 11 and 6) have been taking classes here for over two years. Not only are their self defense lessons amazing and true to real life situations, but they require every student to be do well at home and in school. You must have teachers and parents sign off that your child is being respectful and doing their best in all walks of their life! They also have weekly lessons on health, honesty, integrity, etc and make sure your child is learning to be a well rounded asset to his/her community.Master Craig and Mr Purvis are so wonderful with the kids. They have a way of relating and explaining to children of all ages that I can really appreciate. My third child, who’s almost 3, will join in about 6 months and we cannot wait!

Premier Martial Arts has been a very positive experience for our son, and for our family. The instructors have been outstanding -- not only in teaching self-defense techniques, but also as positive role models for the kids. We highly recommend PMA for anyone looking to get their child involved in martial arts!

Our kids have been going to Round Rock Premier Martial Arts for 3 1/2 years now. We knew the company was legitimate and well worth our time and money because our kids went to a Houston Premier location before we moved here. Master Craig and his instructors provide very thorough lessons and set reachable goals in Krav Maga and kickboxing. These valuable forms of Martial Arts teaches your kids to be prepared and safe with real day to day self defense circumstances. Master Craig is definitely someone who knows how to hold and teach respect but still be loved by your kids. He has a talent for teaching and it shows in his students enthusiasm. Aside from teaching just self-defense; respect, responsibility, physical health, and positive mental attitude are always fused into the courses and lessons.

We love PMA!! The program has helped our child on so many levels. His boost in confidence, patience and focus are just the tip of the iceberg. PMA holds their students accountable not only in class but at home as well as school. The students learn the true meaning and importance of respect, kindness and integrity not to mention the skill of self defense. Self defense that could one day save their life or the lives of others.

The instructors at Premier Martial Arts are phenomenal. They do a fantastic job at keeping the kids focused and engaged. Best of all, they make it fun! Respect, confidence, patience and accountability are just a few of the lessons taught in every class. It has been a life changer for my son over the past 2 years. His focus, confidence and behavior have improved so much, and I have PMA to thank. We couldnt be happier to be a part of the PMA family for years to come!

We have a fantastic community and great families that attend our training facility.Unfortunately we have 2 reviews that were added by people not affiliated with us.One was from several years ago.....they didnt leave their name or a review and I suspect may have come from a competitor.Another one a few months ago was about a company with same name but in a different town. I did email that individual but their negative review about someone elses program is still lingering.What I can guarantee within our programs is happy students, and quality training.We hope to see you soon too...Regards!

My daughter has been attending for a couple of months now and I have to say my 6 year old daughter absolutely loves it, shes ready to go within 10 mins of getting home from school. She has learned so much, the teachers are great, the kids really respond well to their teaching techniques.

Review №49

Our son has been coming to this PMA location for just under 2.5 years now. This is the only sport that he has shown any interest in staying involved and actually WANTS to go. Our son has combined type ADHD and we have found it very difficult to find a facility/staff that was so willing and able to help him. We have felt welcomed since day 1. Master Craig has even met with us about concerns at home that we felt we, as parents, were beating our heads against a brick wall with. He spoke with our son 1 on 1 after and things did improve. Other facilities always pushed us/him to move FAST into his next belt, next course, next whatever and we felt sucked dry with funds. Not PMA Round Rock!!!The instructors work very closely with the groups and individuals and have excellent communication skills. If you are looking for a place that you and your child will be happy, come give them a visit. We plan on being here a long time...only on orange belt...by OUR choice and his school teachers recommendation. I want my son to earn each belt, not be given...

Premier Martial Arts is awesome. Master Craig is an incredible instructor / Owner. Mr Paul Purvis is also a great instructor as well as great with the parents and kids as well. My 15 year old daughter loves the program. She has been attending here since she was 7. He has programs for all ages and is amazing for kids. Master Craig does a great job relating the moves, especially defensive to the kids life and real world examples. Great structure and discipline. He also offers Krav Maga for adults...I visited several other programs before choosing PMA, and no regrets, this is a top notch program!!If you or your kids are wanting to join martial arts, Premier is the place to be!

Our son that is 7 and 6 year old daughter after 1 year have learned so much. Its been a blast to watch them grow and learn. Even more when they really take home the art. Master Craigs teaching and disapline is held in high standards. At the same time the instructors all just have a way or reaching the kids and all kids of all ages. Master Craigs classes are superior in so many ways compared to other companies. Even more so teaches kids to be responsible, respectful, anti bullying, and confidence in them selves. I highly recommend Premier Martial Arts Studio in Round Rock Tx to all parents.

Review №52

My daughter had never shown interest in martial arts until the PMA Round Rock staff did a presentation at her school. They really impressed her. She’s been enrolled for about seven months now, and she loves it. No matter how bad a day she might have had, as soon as she steps on the mats at PMA, she’s smiling.The entire PMA Round Rock staff is so good at not only teaching the kids self-defense, martial arts, and fitness; but also perseverance, self-confidence, self-discipline, honesty, courtesy, and more. All while encouraging them and keeping the kids (and parents) having fun and laughing. They not only keep the kids accountable for their martial arts training, but also for their behavior and performance at home and at school.I’m very glad they came to my daughter’s school that day, because she is getting so much out of it.

My son has been taking classes here for over 3 years now. He really enjoys the lessons and learning a new skill. Hes been in the Black Belt training program for about 2 years and has immensely enjoyed learning the weapons (kali stick, bo staff, nunchucks). The instructors are knowledgeable and do a good job reinforcing lessons taught to the kids. They are tough but fair and even though my son sometimes feels frustrated by the level of commitment, I see it benefitting him! My daughter also took one of their free self defense classes and found it to be valuable.

Review №55

Premier Martial Arts, in Round Rock, is a great place to take martial arts for any child or adult. As with any martial arts studio you have to judge it by the instructors, and Master Craig and Mr. Crow are both excellent instructors with literally decades of experience. The adult classes practice Krav Maga, which is widely regarded as the best form of practical martial arts (its otherwise known as MMA for the streets). The child classes mostly practice kickboxing, along with some jiu jitsu and weapons training. I really like the focus on discipline in the child classes, and the fact that their school teachers have to sign a form indicating that their behavior has been good in class before they can take the next belt test. Also, Ms. Natalie, who works in the front office, is extremely helpful and friendly.
