We’ve had an outstanding experience with Premier Martial Arts Chambersburg. My daughter started at the beginning of the year, and with consistent weekly dedication she has already progressed to her yellow belt—an achievement we’re incredibly proud of. The instruction here is truly excellent. The instructors strike a great balance between discipline and encouragement, and it’s clear they understand childhood development and how to keep kids engaged, confident, and growing. Every class feels purposeful and positive. What stands out the most is how much she genuinely loves it. She’s tried activities like dance and gymnastics before, but nothing has clicked like this. She looks forward to every class and leaves feeling accomplished. It’s a solid team with strong, thoughtful teaching. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and structured environment for their child!

Premier Martial Arts Chambersburg has been a life-changing experience for my son, Salim, who is now a proud brown belt. This school is more than just a place to learn martial arts—it is a foundation for discipline, focus, and personal growth. The instructors not only teach self-defense but also instill values that shape character, including respect, perseverance, and responsibility. Since joining, Salim has shown remarkable progress—not only in martial arts but also in his academics, health, and overall behavior. The lessons extend beyond the mat, teaching him how to set goals, stay committed, and carry himself with confidence and respect in all aspects of life.I am deeply grateful to the entire team for their dedication and mentorship. Premier Martial Arts is not just a training center; it is a place where students grow into strong, disciplined, and respectful individuals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to build both skill and character.

We love Premier Martial Arts, Master Mike his lovely wife Julie, Master Joey and Makayla (sorry if I spelled ur name wrong) my son has changed so much his confidence is way up and understands that this will always stay with him to be able to protect himself if those times arrive. They're not taught to be aggressive but to protect themselves when necessary. They also do nerf war nights with pizza and it gives the kids a chance to do something different together other than training.

My daughter has been with Premier Martial Arts for 6 years. Through the process of reaching her black belt she has gained confidence, learned respect and self defense. The instructors are patient and fun loving with the kids, but also have a serious side when it comes to training and understanding of what is being taught in class. I would and have recommended Premier Martial Arts to other parents that want their children to learn in a safe, well instructed venue and program.

I stopped in for a couple of classes when I was passing through town. Great atmosphere ran by good people. Coach Mike was knowledgeable and demonstrated black belt level skills (he tapped me out a few times). I definitely recommend if you want to get in shape or learn self defense
