Ive been doing taekwondo there for about 7 years. It is very nice, the people are great and it is still helpful in a scuffle.

My daughter started here in 2017. We checked out one other place after having a trial class here, but she already knew she wanted to be a student at Premier Karate. They took her right in to class and helped her feel welcome and valued. In the year since, the O'Neills and their staff have worked hard to keep my daughter challenged by giving her leadership tasks, teaching her "ultra" forms, encouraging her to be on the demo team, and helping her perfect the various elements being taught. I love that the tuition payment is a flat monthly payment that allows my daughter to attend as many classes

My daughter has been at Premier Karate for 2 years now and she has gained confidence and strength. Mr. ONeill and his staff are amazing. They all work hard to ensure everyone understands the forms, defense moves, and sparring.

Since my last review (see below), I became a student. The instructors are very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I'm enjoying every class. I find it challenging. My daughter takes classes here and she loves it. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable.
