From the reviews
My daughter started her program on Sept 2022, and we have been so fortunate to be part of this tight-knit PMA community. We get to watch our kids grow and develop their skills under the patient guidance and care of Sensei Nick, Coach Mike, and guest instructors.
Honestly cannot say enough great things about this place. I gifted this to my grandson for Christmas in 2023 and he has loved every minute. He has learned respect, focus, endurance, teamwork and countless other skills. The coaches are amazing and keep the kids engaged, learning and moving!
The coaches do a great job of instructing martial art skills to the kids as well as instilling traits like honesty, discipline and others that kids need. Our daughter has been attending for 1.5 years now, started when she was 5 and has enjoyed the challenge.
Our 6 year old daughter has been learning martial arts with PMA for 1.5 years now. Sensei Nick and Coach Mike have been instrumental in the growth of her discipline, strength, agility and confidence. They are strict but kids nowadays need this type of structure and focus.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Houston Heights
Premier Martial Arts Houston Heights comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Premier Martial Arts Houston Heights
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.
