From the reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premier Martial Arts Fairwood has been amazing for my daughter, Charlotte. She started here when she was 5 with her white belt, and now at 8 she’s earned her blue belt. The instructors are super caring and really make the classes fun and motivating.
Both my kids, son 7 and daughter 16 have been going for almost a year now. They love class and the teachers. I love that not only are they learning self defense and discipline, but every class there’s a focus on the month’s topic.
We absolutely love Premier martial arts! My son has grown so much mentally and physically since starting. All the Sensei's are wonderful, patient and big hearted. All the kids adore and respect them immensely. They not only teach martial arts but they also teach them how to be amazing humans.
We cannot say enough good things about Premier Martial Arts Fairwood. Our 5-year-old son has been attending since August, and the transformation we’ve seen in just five short months has been nothing short of remarkable.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Fairwood
Premier Martial Arts Fairwood comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Fairwood
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.
