Guest instructors from Japan, USA, and elsewhere visit regularly.

I do not recommend Premier Martial Arts in Denton after 2 months of attending. My 4 year old was…read moreasked not to return due to him "being distracting and making it hard for the instructor to teach class".. again he's FOUR! It's $125/ month for access to glorified obstacle course twice a week. They are not being taught specific moves, i.e. kicks, punches, stances; only running through courses and playing tag-like games. We joined to help my child learn discipline and focus and then he was kicked out for lacking these skills. He DID NOT receive the consistency, challenge, and coordination development I was hoping for! (You can't ask a child to be disciplined while playing chase). Instructors need to revisit curriculum and developmentally appropriate approaches for four year olds. Overall, weird vibe with these guys at Premier Martial Arts. We will be trying other places in Denton!

The city's Police Department features great officers who can help via 911 Phone Calls, 24/7.
