I have tried 6 times now to reach management at this location about an issue and they continue to ignore me. They sure were responsive when they wanted my money, but now they’re MIA. Very unprofessional.

My kids took Krav maga here for around two and a half years. Its been a few years since we moved out of state. Two of my kids were almost black belts. The facility at the time was on the small size and hard to move around.My kids enjoyed their instructors; Mr.Parker, Tristan, and a few others were very attentive.Beware, just like some other sports karate is expensive!! You are not allowed to buy things from anywhere but the facility.When we first joined we were told it was all inclusive for our whole family to take classes. Then once my husband and I had decided to take classes, we were told we would have to pay extra. Make sure you read the fine print!My kids still remember their skills and it gives me some piece of mind that they can defend themselves to a degree.

They have recently moved to a larger location and it is looking great! It is only two doors to the right of its previous location. Our child still enjoys taking the class after 2 1/2 years! We love it because they learn moves and techniques that apply to real life situations! Great and fun place, Mr Parker is great with the kids and comes up with activities that test the kids reflexes and skills!

Mr. Parker and his team are excellent to work with! My son is always a excited to go to class. Not only are they learning martial art skills they are also learning life skills. Every month there is a subject they learn about such as honesty, self esteem, and integrity. Thank you for being awesome role models for our kids! - Jennifer Payne

Premier Martial Arts is fabulous! Mr Parker and Mr Riley are excellent. Weekly practice is always exciting and my son has a fantastic time. We had my son’s birthday party at Premier Martial Arts today and I have to say that Mr Parker throws an entertaining party. The children and the adults were laughing and having fun. At the end of the party Mr Parker made Sebastian a free hand drawing of a velociraptor as his birthday present! We love Premier Martial Arts!

This place is definitely the best for Marshall Art training! They have a brand new location and everything is very nice and clean! Mr. Parker and his assistants are one of a kind! They really care about their students and families! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for training for themselves or child! My son looks forward to his classes every week!

Premier Martial Arts in Maryville offers the best Martial Arts classes in Blount County. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and great with students and parents. The quality of instruction is unmatched. The work put into the childrens classes is amazing. They learn life skills and values in addition to self defense. The confidence my children are developing is priceless. Im happy my family is part of the Premier Martial Arts family.

Mr. Parker is great with children. We’ve seen a change in our now 5 year old since enrolling him at this Martial Arts school. Our son looks forward to class and practices at home. Mr. Tristan and Mr. Casey are great with the kids as well. Love this school and what they teach our kids.

We love PMA for our 6 year old daughter. Mr. Parker and Mr. Riley are amazing and we would never consider going anywhere else! They are both very enthusiastic while working with the kids and they are very skillful. They are very consistent in leading the class every time, with all of their effort and focus on the kids. They are very patient, and their passion for what they do makes the kids in their class have so much fun.

I absolutely love this martial arts place. Whether you are a kid or adult you will have a blast. The staff is always very friendly and the classes will hold your attention. Its like being part of a little family. I wish i could give 10 stars!!

Such a great experience for my 6- year old son each week. Mr. Parker & staff have the greatest patience & positive educational teaching style. The classes are fast-paced and fun, giving each child an excellent workout without realizing how hard they worked their minds & bodies.I especially appreciate the character traits they teach & emphasize with the kids each month. They teach real-life situations & how to respond in a positive manner. Highly recommend!

Mr. Parker and his team are the best in town! Not only do they offer top quality instruction, they take the time to get to know your child on a personal level to help develop their individual strengths and weaknesses. Wether it be life skills, confidence, focus, or strength, they use a positive approach to help your child meet their maximum potential. You absolutely will not be disappointed. Come check them out!

My son has been taking classes here for 2 years and still has fun learning new techniques, although he would practice the flying side kick every class if he could! Mr. Parker and his assistants are fantastic with the kids, they are very patient and manage to keep everyone focused. They spend time with each of the kids at every class giving tips to hone their skills. Love the new bigger space too!

Our boys have been students here for almost 3 years. They love it! The teachers are wonderful and work hard to make sure the kids understand everything. The only aggravation is the expense of extra things like the summer uniforms.

My daughter started classes 11 weeks ago. Aside from learning skills that will help her physically, she is growing mentally as well. She is learning to better deal with anxiety and have more confidence in herself. Mr. Parker is an outstanding instructor who continues to amaze me the way he inspires the children to do their best. Mr. Parkers helper, Mr. Riley, is also a wonderful asset to the school and the kids love him. Sydney can not wait to go to class each week and she always leaves with a huge smile on her face.

Kids love it and its awesome to see them grow. My daughter loves to kick butt. Its more than martial arts.

My two girls have been attending PMA for a little over two years. I love the confidence building and the self defense skills they learn. The staff is great! We recommend all the time to our friends!

The PMA staff in Maryville are awesome! Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Having a child with ADHD and persistent tics, I wasn’t sure how he would do in an environment that requires him to maintain a lot of self control. We have been amazed by the amount focus and attention he has gained. He has been able to take the lessons he receives and apply them to his school and home life. He looks forward to every lesson and brags to anyone who will listen about how much he loves the class. I’ve enjoyed watching him so much that I signed myself up for the adult class! Super great group of people!

Mr. Parker and Mr. Riley are excellent with the kids. My granddaughter loves her class, classmates and instructors. Great facility and program.

Great place for kids to learn self respect and discipline. The teachers are extremely patient. Love it here.

Truly a one of a kind program. I feel like my son has gained so much personal and physical growth from PMA Maryville that I can’t imagine them ever not being a part of our lives.

Our kids started here a few months ago and we already see an amazing transformation in confidence. Mr. Parker is so good with the kids.

This is one of the best Martial Arts schools I have been to in a long time...The quality time they spend with the students is amazing.Great place for beginners and experts.

Exceptional school and teachers!! We have been a proud PMA family for over 3 years now! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

The PMA staff members embody professionalism in everything that they do. They are dedicated to helping students, of all ages and abilities, build discipline and focus leading to an improved wellness, increased self-respect and integrity. The quality of instruction and skill development is first-rate.

Awesome studio! My daughter has learned a lot and has fun at each class.

New studio with the same awesome staff. Highly recommend Premier Martial Arts, Mr Parker and staff are the best in the business.

My 10 year old son has been having issues for the past 3 years with being afraid of going outside, and random other things.. My wife and I have tried all that we knew to build his confidence up.. My son has been in PMA with Mr. Parker and Mr. Triston for two months now and already see a huge improvement! Just 3 weeks in and my son went out to the garage, got on his dirtbike, and took off riding!.. He spends alot more time outside and takes his nunchucks with him everywhere !I would highly recommend PMA for any kids! Not only are they teaching confidence, and self defense, but respect for themselves and others as well! They also make it a very fun way to learn!I am extremely proud of my Son and forever thankful for the team at PMA for what they have done for him so far.. Cant wait to see what the rest of the journey to black belt is gonna hold!

Great place my son has alot of fun here and he loves his instructor!

Our son absolutely loves this place. Mr. Parker and his team are wonderful!

A great work out and a great way to learn to defend yourself

The staff are excellent and the life lessons learned here are priceless. I would highly recommend signing your kids up here, you will not regret it.

Mr. Parker and team do a great job! Highly recommend!

I started with an introductory womens self-defense class where the owners, Myles and wife, Kristina, taught the class. To be honest, I havent felt so empowered and passionate about any sport or hobby Ive ever done. Kristina shared her story and how Krav Maga had impacted her life and it truly touched me. From that first day I never looked back and have been working my way to black belt ever since. The way Krav Maga has transformed my confidence, strength and willpower to improve and progress are only a few ways it has personally changed my life. The team at Maryville PMA, Parker, Tristan and Riley are such dedicated instructors, they truly make you feel like youre part of a family! I sure do love my Krav Fam. This new space rocks!!

Great place my son is learning so much and loving it

Love having my child be part of something so great!

I really enjoy the adult Krav classes. GREAT instructors. Everyone is encourged to do there very best, but no one is singled out if they struggle with a move. Very patient with everyone and willing to work with you till you get it right

An experience worth writing about. The PMA method is a world-class approach to providing the tools necessary to understand the principles of martial arts focusing on a unique, hands-on way of learning. The instructors understand the value of self-discipline and improved wellness while keeping the student learning experience a top priority. Customer service is paramount at PMA.

Quality School with impressive system. After having visited a couple of other schools, it was a no brainer to sign my kids up at PMA on W.Broadway.My kids love it already and cant wait for their next class!

The school looks very cool inside and well kept, not like some schools ive seen. The staff is very passionate about theyre mission and creating an envvironment of learning and respect. I would recommend to anyone. Mike

We love this school! They teach good values and respect!

Wonderful Staff who are great with their students, highly recommend!!!

My son LOVES this place. He says its his FAV

I started taking Krav Maga at Premier about 9 months ago. Ive lost weight, and my confidence has improved. The instructors are top notch.

I did martial arts about 25 years ago and had never heard of Krav Maga until my son started going here last summer. It looked like so much fun that I started going as well. At Premier Martial Arts the instruction is top notch and its a great workout. Very practical and easy to learn self defense techniques that seem much more appropriate that what I learned doing traditional karate in my youth.

Excellent instructors and students! Attentive and fun!! All worth the time and money!

My son loves this place and the instructors are amazing

Premier Martial Arts Maryville has Martial Arts training for the whole family. The kids kickboxing classes are second to none in the area. The adult Krav Maga and Muay Thai Kicboxing classes are taught by true professionals in their fields. They have classes after 6pm for working families and there is a true sense of unity and family. A professional martial arts center all around where customer service is the absolute priority.

*Adult Class Member*About a year ago I asked my dad to find me a place to taught any kind of martial art. Admittedly because I had wanted to become Batman. He gave me options of Karate, Taekwondo, and Krav Maga. I chose Krav Maga after a few days of thought and we went the following week. I spectated a class and knew that it was just what I was looking for. And ever since August of 2014 I have had countless hours of fun and sweat (If those two can coincide). Even now I am still learning moves and combos, and am still being challenged every time I go.10/10 Would Become Ninja Again

Why study Krav Maga? Because it is excellent self defense training. It will enable you to defend yourself on the street, in every day situations. Why choose Premier Martial Arts of Maryville? Three very good reasons: 1. ) The instructors are proficient in the art. 2. ) These instructors are dedicated to the success of the student and the school. 3. ) PMA instructors focus training in a manner that avoids boredom of excessive repetition. Rather, they teach you how to react in simulated situations and to develop muscle memory to react in these conditions. If you really want to get in shape and achieve an excellent cardio workout, this is the place to be. Finally, if the characteristics/qualities of respect, courtesy, integrity, and dedication are a basis for your choice of a school, Myles, Kevin, and Parker possess all of these characteristics at Premier Martial Arts of Maryville.

Our family has been training at PMA Maryville for just over a year and we wouldnt train anywhere else. Their kids program is awesome. Kids are not only learning technique, they are learning how to focus, respect others, character building, and all while having a blast. The adult classes are excellent for learning self defense (Krav Maga) and kick boxing, among other things. Its also a great cardio workout. The instructors at PMA Maryville are fabulous!! If you are looking for a martial arts place for your child, yourself or the whole family, look no further...you will not be disappointed!

They are very knowledgeable and caring.

This company uses aggressive sales tactics, and every time Ive seen or spoken with staff they were rude.
