Premiere Martial Arts in Holly Springs has been a huge blessing to my son and myself. I initially enrolled my son after moving to the area last year so he could make friends and get involved. We ended up gaining a new extended family.
Premier Martial Arts has played such a large part in teaching our kids, not only self defense, but in teaching confidence, respect, leadership, responsibility, and so many other skills that are important to our children’s growth as individuals and members of the family and community.
Premier Martial Arts in Holly Springs has been a fantastic experience for my kids! In just a few months, I’ve seen a huge boost in their stamina and confidence. Instructors Mr. Malone and Mr.
Your first Karate class at Premier Martial Arts, Holly Springs
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.
