Lubbock Karate
The vision of Premier Martial Arts is to build a community by helping people get in shape and be safe while instilling the life skills and character of a true martial artist. This is a thirty-six month program that teaches our students not only the basics of martial arts, but all of the techniques that are necessary to one day become a black belt.

Since 1986, Premier Martial Arts - Lubbock has been providing instruction in the martial arts in the Lubbock, TX area. Our experienced instructors offer an exciting workout for adults that incorporates an effective blend of karate, kickboxing, submission grappling and kali. Focus, concentration, listening, respect and courtesy are stressed in order to develop a child's basic learning skills.

As the Head Instructor and President Premier Martial Arts - Lubbock, Master Liles inherently believes that each student who walks through his door is someone whom he is meant to impact in a positive way. He also has the unique ability to personally connect with each individual (parent and student alike) while maintaining the Instructor/Student relationship.
Our unparalleled standards make us the world's best. Our Premier Martial Arts instructors go through a very extensive selection process to insure we have only the best and most talented instructors in the world. Once selected, they are put through an intense and rigorous series of training colleges to guarantee the quality of instruction that our students will receive.
Learning builds a sense of accomplishment. With each new accomplishment a student's self-confidence grows, and confidence is the first step in the empowerment of a person's physical and mental abilities. Once we begin to develop a student's self-confidence, we are then able to instill the values of respect, courtesy, honesty, perseverance, and integrity that are the foundation of martial arts dating back thousands of years.
Premier Martial Arts is the only school that has a special curriculum for 4 to 7 year olds and a national award winning curriculum for 8 through 12 year olds. We are the only school that offers a complete weapons curriculum as well as a leadership program for those with long term goals. Premier Martial Arts offers classes specifically designed for teenagers.
When my son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD),o ur doctor recommend martial arts instruction as a method to increasehis focus, concentration, and provide a structured environmentthat would give him a physical and mental outlet. Enrolling my child in Martial Arts was the best thing I could have done.

What can one say about PMA, well I don’t think google would give me the space I need to express my gratitude and honor that me and my family feel about this place. We moved from a different state, and my wife was always eager to have the kids in some activity’s, knowing my oldest son being extremely shy and a extreme introvert, to tell you the truth I was a little hesitant. However my wife scheduled a appointment with the school and we went. We met Mr, Yaeger and we had a little get to know one on one with my 2 boys. It was indescribable, seeing my two boys react and follow instructions the

The ownership at Premier Martial Arts is top notch. During the COVID pandemic they did an amazing job staying connected with their students and families. I know that John and his staff went above and beyond traveling to student's homes to award belts and advancement for every student. I highly recommend the caring and professional staff to anyone looking for a martial arts school. - Martin @ Applied Payroll Solutions

First of all it's a small building, they have a small area to sit down in. And lot of times you have to stand. The people at the front desk has no idea what they are doing. The way they run things there are crazy, like to the point that you're just as confused as the people at the front desk. The schedule is ok, and instead of having classes one by one in the grauduation ceremony, they cram everyone in a back braking gym for 2 and half hrs. And they run around so un organized. But the trainers are very awesome to the stundents. I just wish that they can get better organized

My wife and I (late 60s) and another couple (at least our age) went to see what their Krav Maga training was like.
We had a ball! The instructor (Colt) was excellent, the pace was perfect, and we all learned a lot.
We'll definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing training facility! I am in the adults jiu jitsu class and I love it! Our instructors Mr. Yaeger and the head Mr. Liles are very knowledgeable and friendly and I learn a lot! And to address the previous review yes the instructor is a blue belt in bjj but that is simply due to the fact that the jiu jitsu section is relatively new compared to the karate and other programs. Our instructors are very kind and helpful and I've trained at other places where certain instructors could be a little egotistical and rude but the ones at premiere are not, they are great! Some people can be

My son attended for three years from age 10 to 12 until we moved. He enjoyed the skills he learned, and I enjoyed observing. The kids and adults that are members really express a love for the art. The parents' night out and holiday activities are also great. The cost was worth it to us.

Our son has practically grown up here, and continues to train 3 nights a week, even though he has had a black belt for over a year. Highly recommended!
