Suzanne Cuthbert 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been attending classes here for about 15 months, and absolutely loves it! The instructors are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive and friendly, and she has gained in confidence, both on and off the mats. She looks forward to every single session, and always comes out buzzing. Due to the popularity and success of the classes, the whole team would benefit from a bigger studio, but we would all wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering signing up to join.

Robert Brown 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is a very friendly and professional martial arts school. My daughter loves learning martial arts here.

Sarah Brown 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend both the child and adult classes here. The classes have made my daughter more confident, disciplined and noticeably stronger than she was before. But you can read all the other good reviews about the children's classes... so let me tell you why training here as an adult is so great. I joined the classes after attending a free self defence workshop in the wake of an incident near where I live. I was impressed with the ease of learning the techniques and even after one workshop I felt more confident in defending myself. This prompted me to sign up to regular classes and I'm so glad I did. Two years on and I still have a way to go in my martial arts journey, but I have learnt so much, become stronger and definitely more confident and aware of how to protect myself and my family. The classes are a real mix of people from all walks of life and all ages - you don't have to be super fit, you just have to be willing to give it your best. Everyone is friendly and it's not at all intimidating, even coming to it with no experience, as I did. All of the instructors are great people, experts in their art and take the time to make sure that you not only get it right, but you know why it's important to get it right - they care about bringing you along and that makes all the difference when it comes to retaining your dedication and engagement. I really would give this place a 10 star review if I could. Try it, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: My son joined when he was 4yrs old is now 7. He has been really enjoying his martial arts classes. The instructors (especially Mr Luke) are great with the kids, especially when it comes to keeping them engaged and focused. I've already seen a difference in his confidence and how well he listens at home. It’s a perfect mix of learning discipline and having fun. I’d definitely recommend it to other parents – it's been a great experience for us!.

Lisa Ashby 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: My son started his PMA journey 18 months ago and we are thrilled with the confidence, focus and determination he has developed since. He is an enthusiastic child who works hard but having dyslexia and ADHD was beginning to have a negative impact on his confidence in school. PMA North Leeds has been fantastic for his focus, self-esteem and self-confidence both in school as well as at home. Big thank you to all staff- in particular Mr Luke who my son is mostly taught by and admires immensely!

Blake Wilkinson 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great place! Built confidence and control in my son and gave him (in his words) his passion!

Mark Yamaguchi 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Instructors are excellent! Since my daughter Miyuki joined, she developed discipline and confidence as she aims to get a black belt and be an instructor like Ms. Tess. My daughter learned more than just self defense at Premiere Martial Arts, she learned respect. I will recommend this martial arts school to everyone because they don't just train fighters, they build character as well.

Reza Vanakey 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: My kids have been attending the martial arts class for a year now, and they absolutely love it. All of the teachers are fantastic, but I want to give a special thanks to Mr. Luke. His teaching has not only helped them improve their skills but also made a big difference in their everyday lives. They’ve become more confident, focused, and disciplined, and I’ve seen them carry those qualities into school and home.

Ernestas Jakubauskas 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: We are incredibly thankful for Premier Martial Arts School and the positive impact it has had on our son, Evan. Since he started training here, we’ve noticed a remarkable improvement in his focus, discipline, and respect both at school and at home. The instructors are fantastic—they are patient, encouraging, and dedicated to helping each child succeed not just in martial arts, but in life. Evan has gained confidence and has learned valuable life skills that will benefit him for years to come. We highly recommend Premier Martial Arts School to any parent looking for a supportive and effective environment for their child’s growth

Ollie 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just got to black belt and the instructors are so kind and helpful. I joined at the age of 5 and they have tought me so much self defence and other important skills to defend yourself. I would definitely recommend starting premier martial arts. YOU WILL LOVE IT!

Eloise Bell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ricky came and delivered a self defence workshop to my charity’s staff away day. He was able to empower our people with skills and techniques to look after themselves confidently, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. In addition my son attends his studio and thrives being part of such a brilliant community and his self confidence and self esteem has grown hugely since he became a member. The team are all brilliant professionals and excellent role models for the students.

abel Seaer 2 years ago

Negative experience: The training that they give to the children is good and the teachers are friendly. When cancelling the membership,I asked when I had to give notice and the staff said I could tell anytime or 1-2 days prior.I asked Andy to cancel membership but he didn’t answer for two weeks until he had the following month’s payment.He refused to return the money and when I asked him why he said I needed to give one month’s notice Terrible customer service from Andy, ruined the whole experience.Only cares about money,not the customer.

Y Pitter 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our children have been training with Premier Martial Arts for over 7 years. We wanted them to have fun, but to be able to defend themselves and develop self discipline. PMA has certainly provided this. The kids enjoy their classes and they understand the importance of training twice a week so that they can learn the the key areas, Taekwondo, Kickboxing & Krav Maga. It's been a big family commitment but we feel it's worth it and it's a testament to the instructors that the kids continue to be committed and want to keep learning.

Premier Martial Arts North Leeds

Thank you so much for your kind words about Premier Martial Arts! We're so glad to hear that your children have been enjoying their classes and that you feel they are learning valuable skills. We know that martial arts can be a big commitment for families, so we're really grateful that you've chosen to stick with us for over 7 years. It's a testament to the instructors that your children continue to be committed and want to keep learning. We're always working to improve our programs, so it's great to hear that you're happy with the way we're teaching Taekwondo, Kickboxing, and Krav Maga. We're committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment where students can have fun, learn self-defense, and develop self-discipline. We hope you'll continue to train with us for many years to come! Sincerely, The Premier Martial Arts team

Fantastic experience: Great experience, great teachers, I would highly recommend to everyone who wants to learn self defence

Premier Martial Arts North Leeds

Thank you for your kind words Scott! At Premier Martial Arts provide the best self defence classes in Leeds. Can't wait to see you in your next class!

Angi 3 years ago

Negative experience: My son signed up for the two lesson trial. I couldn't seem to get any information about pricing and membership without doing that. He really enjoyed the trial but unfortunately they wanted either a year's money up front (more than £900!) or £70 a month and nearly £300 in up front fees. For a 6 year old to try a new hobby this is ludicrous. They also want a commitment of two classes a week, which seems a lot when a child is just starting out. It's a shame because he did enjoy the trial, but they need to be more honest about the financial and time commitment before taking your money for a trial.

Fantastic experience: Best and recommended place to go for martial arts. Great deals and every year they have fun seasonal parties.

Laura Newill 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has attended PMA the online zoom classes since the first lockdown. His stamina, focus and attention has significantly improved. Occasionally reluctant to start his class he always finishes by saying, "that was awesome." I can only put that down to the quality of the teaching! The teaching standard is so high, great focus on skill, technique but also teaching amazing principles. PMA also offers an amazing community spirit and great direction and advise to students training. The zoom classes offer top notch teaching with additional staff to advise students live, when and where needed. We just wished we lived closer and will struggle to find somewhere as good which is local to us after lockdown.

Dangerous Duk 6 years ago

Negative experience: My son trained at this place for 6 months. I had to pull him out and sent him to different place. This place is all about money and business. The class size is huge and instructor student ratio about 1:30 . Mr. Lam also use children in the leadership class as teacher assistants in the normal lesson. Premier Martial Arts is good at marketing and expanding business. It is not regulated by British taekwondo association. If you really want to let kids learn probably taekwondo, please avoid this place.

Paula Reilly 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have been coming to PMA as a family for around 3 years. It's not just a training centre, but a family. My boys have learnt so much and are moving through the ranks. I attend Krushbox and can honestly say I have never enjoyed a class as much. Master Lam, Mr Brandon and the team are professional and bring out the best of those in their classes. Having Mrs Lam teaching classes and their two boys starting out on their Martial Arts journey adds to the friendly family feel of the centre. Highly recommend! #BleedGreen

Adam Gibson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: By far the best martial arts school in leeds would highly recommend to anyone. As a parent and student this place just keeps going from strength to strength.

Alison Judge 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! My eldest son has been training here for about 6 years and has gone from being a shy little boy to someone that the younger students now look up to. His training has given him the knowledge and confidence to recently stand up to a bully at school (without hitting or striking back). Both my sons love their lessons and the instructors are brilliant with the kids.

Alex Dawson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Premier Martial Arts bully proof workshop to any parents who want their children to know how to deal with bullies in a safe and confident way. This free workshop gives children the tools and techniques, delivered by highly skilled instructors who are very knowledgable and passionate.

Y. Brandy Fischbach 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had the privilege of instruction under Master Lam in the past year, and not only is he extremely knowledgeable, & professional, he has a noticeable passion for his work & his students. He cares for everyone’s specific needs in their road to their own personal success, whatever that may be, with the highest integrity. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Alan Garcia 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction, leadership and locale. I've had the privilege of training alongside with Mr. Lam, and can tell you first hand you will not have better quality instruction in the area. His drive to truly ensure the progress of his student is TRUE, is what set him apart from all other. On top, the state of the art location, quality curriculum and standards place PMA Leeds ahead of the pack. Highly recommended!

Lara Zombie 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a student here for just over a year and I love it. The staff have always been super friendly, and the classes are great energy and fun! The school is clean and there's a lot of equipment in good condition. I highly recommend this school :)

Gary C. 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: When you have a facility which plays host to International training events in addition to outstanding service and that recently won a national award for the best training center in the country, how could deciding which martial arts school to choose from be a difficult one? They are constantly training their staff to the absolute best. The owner, Mr. Lam, has an exceptional work ethic and pulls out the best from his students and his team. I sit back in awe....absolutely brilliant martial arts school. Thank you sir for providing a location that our family is proud to be a part off.

Oliver Saunderson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have trained at PMA Leeds for a few years now and I think its fantastic! The facilities are outstanding and the instruction is brilliant. From the tiny 3 year olds through to the adults classes the instructors are great and the atmosphere is really friendly and vibrant. As a 3rd dan black belt there's still plenty to keep me interested. I have trained at A LOT of places in my 30 years in martial arts and this is by far the nicest, cleanest, best equipped place I've ever seen. Highly recommended!

Eric Arriaga 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend Premier Martial Arts, Every single Instructor and staff are amazing and care about families and kids. Positive reinforcement is the cornerstone of teaching here, that’s why Premier Martial Arts has not only been an avenue for physical growth, but growth in confidence and self discipline.

Tommy Crouch 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent place to train for any age. Mr. Lam and his team of instructors are excellent martial artists who care about there students and their development. If you are looking school, look no further. Mr. Lam and his team are going provide you a class that be disciplined, technical and entertaining. All you need to bring is a good work ethic and an ability to be led in the right direction.

Derek Croley 6 years ago

Liz Over 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My first thought of this school was wow!!!! The instructors are very friendly and professional. We just love it here!!

Tracy Goddard 6 years ago

Negative experience: The school started off great but has gone downhill. Now more interested in the money /business than quality of teaching. Classes cancelled at last min with no explanations. Classes too big. How can quality teaching be done with ratio of 1 to 40 plus? Such a shame as at 1 point I couldn't rate the school highly enough. The quality has been lost :(
