From the reviews

Amazing studio for kids to learn discipline and set goals for themselves. The teacher gets on a personal level with each child to make sure he learns their name and is always willing to spend the extra time to work with a student in need of assistance.

★★★★★ — Holly, Jun 2022

My son has been attending Premiere Martial Arts in Burlington for almost two years. He loves it- the fellow students, the instructors and everything they learn! His favorite things are probably the nunchucks and getting to showcase his skills with his friends.

PMA in Burlington is wonderful! We’ve been there for several years now. My daughter has learned so much. She has so much confidence and gaining physical strength. She’s made some friends along the way. Sensai Glenn is amazing with all the kids. We are so happy we joined! I recommend PMA in Burlington!

New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Burlington

Premier Martial Arts Burlington comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, 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 instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first taekwondo class at Premier Martial Arts Burlington

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect 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, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
