Please Try the FREE Class then decide........

by llkar

I just noticed the review below, and was dumbfounded. I have had the complete opposite expierence at Premier Martial Arts. The teachers are GREAT, eveyone is awsome to work with, and the school is very inviting. All I can say is, go there and take the FREE class they offer, then decide for yourself.

I really think you'll love it.

• Pros: Instructors, location, facility
• Cons: hmmmm.........it's a second floor walk up

All about the money

by gamecat

After training here for some time I ended up leaving as the classes progressively got worse and worse. They're happy to keep taking your money but put no effort in to making the training sessions novel or educational. It got to a point that there really was no reason to keep turning up as it felt like you were just putting the instructors out by attending.

The above "reviews" are clearly written by instructors of the club.

Mr Sevilla's Lunch Class is the greatest!

by uesalex

I recently joined Manhattan Tae Kwon Do on East 86th street. I go to the 12:15 lunch class taught by Mr Sevilla. He is the best martial arts teacher I have ever had. He knows how to push people to be their best. He works with each of us to make sure we are moving ahead and challenged. (He even calls when we miss class, like bootcamp)

This is a great school, with great teachers who really care. I highly recommend you try a class and ee for yourself. Tell them lunch class Alex sent you.

The Place to Train

by ronnamay

I have been a student of the upper east side school for 1 year, I was fortunate enough to have found Mr. Luis Sevilla , which in my opinion is one of the best instructors i've had the fortune to work with. His dynamic approach and non traditional style was exactly what I needed to really bring the best out of me.I enjoyed training so much that I signed up my younger son trevor and he is currently an orange belt.My favorite thing about the school is that the Instructors do not assume the "holier than thou" instructor approach"which is so common in the martial arts". There humble demanor keeps my family intrested and coming back , Being a StockBroker I only have a few key hours in where I can work out , I give them to Manattan TKD. try it youll be satisfied.

• Pros: Great CLasses

This school has changed the way I think about fitness and fun when working out. The head instructor is a great balance of tough and encouraging. I'm telling the world!

• Pros: Good price/value, Clean, Nice Staff

Not what it used to be

by bearbear

This 86th street taekwondo school is not what it used to be. The instructors may wear black belts, but in my opinion, actual knowledge is lacking.

What a Find !!

by nyseek

Found this place after walking around one night. I walked in and the instructor gave me a free class, it was great!!! What a work out, and the self defense was fun and effective. I've tried other places, but none compare to this place.
