From the reviews
Our daughter has been attending this studio for nearly 4 years and we love it! She has learned an immense amount for her young age and has been to competition 3 times. She is complimented constantly for her stamina and strength, which comes from great teaching!
My daughter has been going here for two years. She loves it. The instructors are professional, personable and very nice. It seems that all the kids, regardless of their individual level, get a great deal from the lessons. They have a good mix of excellent instruction, discipline and fun.
My children have been training at Premier for almost 2 years, and is now a constant in our lives. My kids and I love it as it teaches them responsibility, discipline, respect and the confidence every kid should have.
I have tried to several different karate schools with my 2 boys, (11 & 13). Premier Martial Arts with Instructors Master D. Liner and Jonathan feels like family. I am always greeted with a smile and a hello when I walk through the door.
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.
