Premier’s Free Trial Program

Our Instructors have the skills and character to bring out the best in your child.
Our free trial program gives your child the opportunity to meet the instructors and try out the martial arts for themselves.
It will also give you the opportunity to check out our Austin Karate classes, see what we have to offer, talk to other parents, and see if our child program for martial arts in Austin makes sense for you and your family.
“For the past several months, I have noticed a remarkable increase in my daughter’s confidence and self-esteem. I attribute this to the obvious care and attention of your staff. As a 27 year veteran of public education, I am thoroughly impressed!” - Paula Valentine
Our Philosophy
We stress non-violent conflict resolution, how to avoid dangerous situations, and practical Self-defense techniques for getting away from a range of situations and being bullied. Our realistic training includes karate, kickboxing, and self-defense.

Classes are Focused and Fun
Leaders are always Victors and never Victims. Your child will be taught that their self defense skills are for self-defense only, and they will have a clear understanding of being personally responsible for their actions and attitudes.
Unique to Premier Martial Arts Austin – we incorporate Special Programs into your child’s class plans:
- Character & Lifeskills Lessons for Kids
- The 6 Drills for Skills – Focus, Power, Speed, Intensity, Accuracy, & Excellence
- The Premier “Kids Safe” and “”Bully Buster” Training Programs
- Traditional curriculum philosophy
“Dear PMA, We have noticed a remarkable and very positive difference in Bailey’s confidence, attitude, and physical agility since his training began at your school. We are quite proud of the influence it has had on his development as a young boy of five. We wish to commend you and your fine staff of instructors and thank you all for your efforts. We look forward to continuing our support of PMA with our three younger children!” - The Thompson Family

Build Confidence & Leadership Skills
“Words can’t express our gratitude and thanks for the last 2 years of training at your Austin Karate school. The boys have gained confidence, strength, flexibility, and coordination. They never once argued about coming to class. They love Premier Martial Arts, both you and your staff are amazing.” - Mr. and Mrs. Rodriquez
Kids who learn to defend themselves usually will never have to. They learn to walk with confidence and are less apt to be a prime target for bullies and/or abductors. Kids with a high level of self-confidence are also better able to deal with negative peer pressure and can “Say No” to dangerous situations and threatening people.
Premier is the only martial arts school in Austin with Instructors Certified and with background checks to work with children.
