This week on Around Town: Business Highlight, we’re featuring Premier Martial Arts — a family-focused training center dedicated to building confidence, discipline, and strength one black belt at a time.
Located in Nocatee Town Center, Premier Martial Arts is more than a martial arts studio — it’s a place where personal growth and community come together. As part of a nationally recognized franchise, this local location is proudly rooted in serving families, with a strong emphasis on helping children succeed both on and off the mat.
Premier Martial Arts specializes in age-specific martial arts programs designed for children as young as three years old through teens and adults. Classes are thoughtfully structured by age and developmental stage, ensuring students receive instruction that matches their physical abilities, attention span, and emotional growth. From Tiny Champs and Little Champs to youth, teen, and adult programs, every class is intentional and progressive.
At the core of Premier Martial Arts is a belief that martial arts is a vehicle for life skills. Students don’t just learn kicks and punches — they develop respect, responsibility, self-discipline, focus, and accountability. For younger students, classes incorporate obstacle courses and movement-based activities that build coordination and confidence while introducing martial arts fundamentals in a fun, supportive way. As students grow, training evolves into self-defense, structured technique, and leadership development.
The Black Belt Training Program serves as the backbone of the curriculum, guiding students through long-term goal setting and achievement. For teens and adults, advanced training includes real-world self-defense applications such as Krav Maga, kickboxing, and situational awareness, empowering students with practical skills and confidence in everyday life.
What truly sets Premier Martial Arts apart is its commitment to inclusion and empowerment. Every student is taught that progress is personal — it’s you against you. Through encouragement, spotlighting growth, and fostering accountability, students of all abilities are supported and celebrated. The studio culture emphasizes lifting one another up, creating an environment where confidence is built through effort, perseverance, and community support.
Owned and led by Sal, whose journey with martial arts shaped his life, the Nocatee location reflects a deep passion for giving back. Drawn to Nocatee’s family-centered lifestyle and vibrant youth community, Premier Martial Arts found the perfect home to grow alongside the families it serves.
Premier Martial Arts represents the heart of what Around Town celebrates: a local business making a lasting impact. Through discipline, empowerment, and community connection, Premier Martial Arts continues to shape confident leaders and stronger families across Nocatee — one black belt at a time.
