From the reviews

My daughter has been attending for a few years and thanks to her great instructors she was able to attain her Jr. black belt. Jameson is an amazing instructor who is passionate about what he does and it shows not only in the training but in the events he puts together for the students.

My son has been in Taekwondo classes with Instructor Jameson for the past 2 year, and it’s been amazing! Instructor Jameson is a fantastic teacher who truly cares about his students. He connects with the kids, making them feel excited and comfortable to learn.

★★★★★ — Anissa, Mar 2025

Every time instructor Jameson is there, my daughter has a smile on her face. He trains the kids hard and gives them real world scenarios while regularly finding moments to be silly or playful to keep the kids entertained and engaged. He knows how to have the right balance of fun and focused.

This place is so awesome. I checked out a few martial arts programs in the area but PMA is by far my favorite. I’m so glad I chose this space for my daughter who has some developmental challenges.

Your first taekwondo class at Premier Martial Arts- Highland Creek

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
