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.

★★★★★ — Sandra, Feb 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Jeff, Mar 2025

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 BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts- Highland Creek

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.
