“I thought that joining Martial Arts would make his anger issues worse, but he has learned so much about discipline, self-confidence, and about accountability.”

From the reviews

PMA has been nothing, but blessings to our family. Before my son joined, we struggled with his behavior at school and at home. I thought that joining Martial Arts would make his anger issues worse, but he has learned so much about discipline, self-confidence, and about accountability.

★★★★★ — Sandra, Feb 2026

We first discovered Premier Martial Arts through the City’s summer camp program two years ago, and their upbeat, engaging style immediately stood out. Though our busy lives kept us from signing up right away, when we started looking for a school for our 8-year-old daughter in August 2024, we tried several other places.

★★★★★ — Monna, Feb 2026

We absolutely love Premier Martial Arts! The staff and instructors are truly incredible—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth and success. Since joining, my daughter’s confidence has grown 100%.

★★★★★ — Vickie, Feb 2026

My son has been coming to PMA for over three years. It has been an awesome experience. The instructors are wonderful! We love it here!

Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts Corpus Christi

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches 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 positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
