All the most effective real-world fighting techniques and scenarios taught by the absolute expert Master Derek Croley. With his wealth of experience and background information, every class is an adventure. I have loved my journey at PMA Asheville. Thank you Master Croley and Staff.

My 8 year old son absolutely loves his martial arts class with Master Croley. He's learning a lot about karate, self-discipline and being his best self. He also has a lot of fun while he's there.

We have had 3 kids, ages 9-16, at the downtown Asheville location. The oldest really benefited from the adult classes. The younger two have enjoyed learning this style of fighting for the past two years and are still excited to come to practice three days a week. I highly recommend this practice for both kids and adults.

Croley’s Premier Martial Arts has made a profound positive impact on the lives of my son and I. We have been practicing there for 3.5 years and have earned our 1st degree black belts. During this time we have gained in skill, strength, confidence, and humility. Master Croley and his team of instructors are world-class in knowledge, skill, and heart.

We moved to Asheville from Florida. Our daughter was in Martial Arts when we moved so we did all we could to find her a like school. Premier was the one we chose after 3 months of research and messages and phone calls to other schools in the area. Premier was the only school around that offered the program and life skills to come close to what she was used too. Mr. Croley texted back and forth with us until we were moved up and settled in she felt very comfortable from her first interaction with all the instructors. Several class mates welcomed her with open arms and we are proud to say she’s found her second Karate home and family in premier.

My son has been going here for two years now and it has been a fantastic experience. Besides the regular classes he very much enjoys the parents night out activities.
