From the time we started here, this place has provided a safe and clean environment with a great feel to it. You can drop off or wait, this place can accommodate.

There are enough classes weekly that you can come as often as you like and keep honing in on your skills. They get group time and individual time during the lessons. I can't say enough good things about this place, there isn't a place anywhere near that can compare.

Mr. Scott, the owner, has created a fun and challenging environment for the kids to grow within, and his two sons are great instructors who motivate the kids to help find their inner strengths and leave the class more confident than when they entered. They find the perfect blend of fun and respect in each class, and as a parent I love seeing how well my daughter responds to their leadership and guidance. One of the best parts is at the end of most classes all of their hard work is rewarded by a fun game that has the kids running and laughing, and excited for next time! Their classes are available for all levels throughout the week which is helpful for those with fluctuating schedules, and they keep us in the loop of updates, activities and tournaments open to each level. We highly recommend everyone to Impact Martial Arts!

But if you are looking for a place to sharpen your character while you sharpen your skills, Sharpen Iron Academy (SIA) in Plano is in a league of its own. ​At SIA, you aren't just a number; the professors know you by name and are genuinely vested in your success both on and off the mat. This is a culture of discipline, accountability, and mentorship where the "iron sharpens iron" philosophy is lived daily. ​Whether it's the kids' classes, the youth program, or the specialized women-only classes, there is a deep level of trust and a guaranteed safe space for every student. It is more than a gym--it is a community and a family where you are pushed to grow in a supportive, high-level environment.

My…read morebackground of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was virtually non existent, but several coworkers sang its praises and how it worked wonders for their children by teaching discipline, focus, work ethic and confidence. Their Godfather helped me research studios and after reading the CV for their head instructor Professor Henrique it was time to give it a shot. They had a lot of fun during the trial class, but they were nervous to start, not wanting to be away from Mom even though I was only three feet off the mat. Thankfully SIA instructors are not only skilled at keeping students engaged during training, but are very family centered, patient and caring. They were able to connect with each one of my kiddos so that they felt comfortable training as I looked on. By parent teacher conferences in February their preschool teacher let me know that both had grown so much in maturity and confidence and was curious to know what I was doing differently. Almost two years later the twins are well adjusted, focused and always happy when they step off the mat after an hour training session. Professor Henrique, Professor Lucas, Professor Matheus, Coach Queila, Coach Enrique, Coach Ian, Coach Ella, and Coach Anthony have become family and there is no other place I would have my children be twice a week. They offer adult classes in the morning and evening and several of the parents after seeing the transformation in their own children have started to earn their stripes as well.

I signed up for a class here on ClassPass and was also treated rudely for no reason, I guess now I realize it's because I am a woman? This instructor here is a clown and so up his own ass he should teach contortionist lessons. He wouldn't teach me at all and was totally dismissive, he literally told me to go find someone else in class so he could sit off into space on the side in silence. Last time I checked my money was the same as anyone else, if your studio only wants to accept men/professionals, etc then make that clear on the website or class description instead of wasting everyone's time. The tagline on google says "Saekson Janjira Muay Thai is located in the heart of North Dallas, bringing the most authentic Muay Thai to Texas. Classes for kids, adults and fighters." maybe put an asterisk there and say "no women or beginners" mmkay?

I was trash talked by the coach leading the sessions and hit hard several times after I already said "I am no longer interested in sparring with you" At no time did I physically exert myself beyond a point of control during my time here yet the coach leading the class decides to call me out before I even warmed up, (told him I was warming up because I came to my FIRST session about 30 mins late.). As you can see I barely set foot into the gym floor before he approached me. I told him I was there to spar a friend and he got very offended, called me out to spar before I even had a chance to get my helmet on. After I hit him with some quick light jabs after which he lost all control. Mind you this man is approximately 40 lbs larger than me. Below are public links displaying his behavior. Please stay away from this gym and this coach, he has no control over himself. The part I feel the worst about is invited my friend and his 5 year old son to the gym. I feel bad they had to see that their first time at a gym together. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DgagCCjH79gaHBqy5

It's rare to find a martial arts gym like this that honors its' fighters and community. Staff members are friendly/helpfuly/supportive in whatever caused you to come to this gym.

While at the same time providing a place with the GREATEST equipment for martial arts/physical training (150lb dead-weight sack was so cool working out with) A real Fighters gym The price is THE absolute deal for the service provided at this facility with unlimited classes and gym access This place truly is a FANTASTIC addition to our community here in Plano,TX and I am so happy and honored with the head coach's decision to open his gym here.

Personal Experience - Please Read Before Training Here…read more I've been boxing for over 10 years and initially joined McSweeney's in 2021 when the gym first opened. I trusted Coach McSweeney's experience and judgment. Unfortunately, I suffered a serious injury while sparring in December 2024 -- a torn ACL. At the time, I was told to "walk it off," and I did, trusting that it was something minor. I continued to train, despite recurring pain and instability in my knee. The injury worsened over time, and my concerns were often brushed aside. I was told I didn't need surgery and that he had gone through similar injuries himself, which made me delay seeking medical attention. Eventually, my knee gave out during training, and I was forced to get checked. I've now been diagnosed with a torn ACL and meniscus and am scheduled for surgery. I've lost out on job opportunities and missed out on other commitments because of this. I want to be very clear: the community at this gym is great. This isn't about the members. But if you're considering training here, please listen to your body and do not dismiss injuries based on casual advice -- no matter who it comes from. If you're in pain, go see a doctor right away. I'm sharing this not out of bitterness, but to help prevent someone else from going through what I did. I remained respectful and patient throughout the process, but I did not feel supported when I finally brought this up to Coach. I wish I had trusted myself sooner. This is my honest account and not meant to attack anyone personally -- just to raise awareness so others can make informed decisions about their health and training.

I came to PMA to find some motivation to get into shape. What I found was something more. Both Coach Adrian and Coach Abraham are amazing people that pour their heart and soul into their business. So much so that it doesn't feel like you're going to a studio to work out. It feels like you're going to a good friend's place to catch up. Good people attract good people and I have to say that I have yet to meet a bad egg in the adult PMA class. Everyone is motivating, inspiring, and encouraging. We all know the hardest part of working out is showing up. No matter how tired or busy I am I want to show up because of the amazing people here. I've made some great friends here when I wasn't even looking for them. Premier Martial Arts is like a family but it's the family you choose so it means so much more.
