Welcome to Premier Martial Arts –
“America’s Self Protection, Personal Development for Children, and Fitness Experts”

Dear Parent:

Mario GuerreroHi, I am Mario Guerrero, and I currently run three Premier Martial Arts school locations in Manhattan and surrounding areas and two locations in Knoxville, Tennessee. I have been involved in the martial arts for the past 15 years, although twice my training was interrupted by career assignments; in spite of this, I always came back to the martial arts and ultimately made it my career of choice by walking away from a very successful corporate position to follow my dream.

Perhaps you are from the group of people that has heard about all the wonderful things that martial arts can do for your child - increased self-confidence, self-discipline, respect, etc., and you probably wonder if all this is true; really, how could martial arts be different than any other sport out there?

Maybe you belong to the group that has never heard about the benefits of martial arts; you are just looking for a physical activity that you can get your child involved in. In any case I invite you to read on to find out what Premier Martial Arts, via the martial arts, has to offer.

Just another Kid Sport – Think Again!

Premier Martial Arts is not just another after-school activity. Basketball, soccer, and baseball are all great activities for children. But Manhattan Tae Kwon Do is personal development through a physical discipline. Our exciting yet disciplined classes focus a child’s attention, thus improving his or her ability to learn. 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 persons physical and mental abilities.

Manhattan TKD ChildrenOnce we begin to develop a students self confidence, we are then able to instill the values of respect, courtesy, honestly, perseverance, and integrity that are the foundation of martial arts dating back thousands of years.

Furthermore, your child will develop perseverance, which is a non-quitting spirit to overcome life’s obstacles. Instilling a non-quitting spirit helps a child over come challenges, to succeed in the face of adversity, and to be a goal setter, and a goal getter.

These combined physical and character foundations that Premier Martial Arts develop helps children excel in their academic school studies, sports, and the social endeavors. It ensures that they will have the confidence in themselves and the character to make the right decisions when confronted with negative peer pressure. They will be leaders not followers.

Our Unparalleled Standards Makes 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.

"My husband had studied karate as a child and felt that martial arts teaches focus and increases body awareness and self-discipline. Our son is quite active, to say the least. Since upteen child rearing publications concurred that studying martial arts, particularly TKD, would help him with these issues, we signed him up. Based on his behavior and progress, we see that we made the right decision in choosing TKD as an activity for him and choosing Premier Martial Arts."
