Premier Martial Arts North Leeds: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I've bean having perfect classes and I love it hear.
Fantastic experience: Great for confidence and very welcome/friendly company
Fantastic experience: Best activity for the kids the staff and Sir Adam are very professional. Highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: My daughter loves attending her martial arts classes! All the team are amazing and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Our son loves going to classes and all teachers are professional, kind and nice
Fantastic experience: My son absolutely loves PMA! The instructors and students all foster and maintain a welcoming, respectful, supportive and positive environment. There’s a great balance of discipline, learning, fitness and fun! My son just keeps growing in confidence, determination and commitment. I highly recommend PMA North Leeds!
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.
Fantastic experience: This is a very friendly and professional martial arts school. My daughter loves learning martial arts here.
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 kids hadi and haram love doing martial arts . We noticed awesome results by joining especially in hadi . He improved a lot also haram we are really happy to be a part of martial art .
Fantastic experience: Great studio and lovely staff
Fantastic experience: My son has been learning martial arts at premier martial arts since he was 5 years old at little champs. He is now 11 years old and in juniors. He absolutely loves it, the instructors are so experienced, positive, great role models and, most of all, fun! It has sharpened his focus, attention and he loves practicing his martial arts moves! Highly recommend to anyone considering this!
Fantastic experience: My son Nathaniel started 6 month ago at premier martial arts and he loves it. We’ve been really impressed with the quality of the lessons, as well as the flexibility of classes running 6 days/week. Highly recommended.
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!.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, great with training kids. Create a welcoming atmosphere with a focus on discipline and growth mindset
Fantastic experience: Harry loves coming to martial arts and looks forward to coming!
Fantastic experience: Great place to build my kid's confidence and improve his cordination and strength , they help children become more resilient, very professional team of trainers upholding very high standards in discipline and physical health, i have noticed massive improvement in my boy's attention span since starting this program, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: My son attends martial arts here - can’t recommend it enough. He loves going and has become stronger and fitter in the process
Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Premier Martial Arts since he was 5 (now 8) and he's confidence and ability has improved immensely. Recommend this anyone starting out.
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!
Fantastic experience: Great place! Built confidence and control in my son and gave him (in his words) his passion!
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.
Fantastic experience: My kids train here. The discipline and lessons taught here is so fantastic. I'm glad my kids are part of this particular school of martial arts
Fantastic experience: High quality lessons, staff are very professional, the centre is clean and always presentable
Fantastic experience: My son started recently at premier martial arts and he loves it. We’ve been really impressed with the quality of the lessons, as well as the flexibility of classes running 6 days/week. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: My daughter loves it here. She's had a couple of private lessons with Luke on top of her normal lessons and is really growing in confidence. Really recommend to all
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.
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
Fantastic experience: We can not recommend PMA Leeds enough Mr Lam,Luke and all the other instructors All are amazing with our granddaughter who has autism, ADHD and learning difficulties,she is not made to feel different from other students they treat everyone as equals,and make the training fun.she has only been going for 3 months and has gained so much confidence in herself. We know that with the training she is getting, she will be able to stand up to her bullies and protect herself outside Thank you so much to all at PMA
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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: Awesome training and awesome instructors.. very well structured training..
Fantastic experience: Best and recommended place to go for martial arts. Great deals and every year they have fun seasonal parties.
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.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional, clean and careful.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Fantastic experience: This is a great place for the kids to have fun and learn a new skill. The facilities are fantastic. All the staff are lovely and friendly. The instructors really care about the kids. I would definitely recommend Premier Martial Arts Leeds.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors and helpful staff. One of the best martial arts schools I've ever seen.
Fantastic experience: Top notch facility and even better Staff members.
Fantastic experience: Having been a martial artist for 3 decades I was very impressed when I met Mr. Lam! AWESOME instructor and truly dedicated to his craft! If you want the best for yourself and your family this is the place. Positive place for positive people!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and facility!! The best around no question!
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!
Fantastic experience: After not having done any kickboxing for nearly a year I had a lovely experience doing a kick-fit workshop at PMA. All the instructors are friendly and encouraging and I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
Fantastic experience: Really impressive training facility. Instructors receive top notch training including international certifications. Ricky Lam the owner is very passionate and takes to heart the commitment to helping his students and instructors succeed. I highly recommend training with this team!
Fantastic experience: PMA Leeds is a highly professional school, with amazing staff. I highly recommend coming here.
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!
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 :)
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.
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!
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.
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.
Fantastic experience: I have known and worked with Master Lam For several years and can tell you with absolute certainty that he and his staff will give your family a world class martial arts education. They have a nurturing and positive culture designed to help you and your family become the best versions of yourselves. Without a doubt you should enroll here.
Fantastic experience: My first thought of this school was wow!!!! The instructors are very friendly and professional. We just love it here!!
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 :(
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids to make friends and learn a new skill. Fab staff, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Friendly and skilled staff. They have a great experience in training and entertaining Kids.
