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!

★★★★★ — Jay, Jan 2018

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.

★★★★★ — Cute, Jan 2018

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.

★★★★★ — Mike, Jan 2018

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.

New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts

Premier Martial Arts 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

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.
