From the reviews

My son is having discipline problems, a friend recommended martial arts as a helpful tool. I searched on Google and found premiere martial arts, we came to a trial class and he loved it, the staff is incredible, my son is very excited, we've only had a few classes so far and I already signed him up for the 12-month…

★★★★★ — Atilio, Dec 2023

My 9 year old son has been going here since February 2023. In that time he's become more focused on big goals for school and at home. He loves going and anytime he has a conflict with other sports he finds a way to make a class.

★★★★★ — Evan, Dec 2023

This martial arts school is everything! The teaching method with Sensei Dalton and Miss Fernanda is awesome. My daughter felt super comfortable since day one, which was hard for her, she’s learned so much respect and discipline, and her confidence keeps getting better and better.

★★★★★ — Natalia, Dec 2023

This is my son's first experience with karate and he LOVES it! He has A LOT of energy - but Vaughn and the other coaches have been excellent at keeping him focused on the goals and empowering him to be his best! We love this program!

New to Karate? Start at Premier Martial Arts

Premier Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
