From the reviews
We’ve been at Premier Martial Arts Folsom for about a year and a half, and it has been a very positive experience for our child. Mr. O’Leary has been especially outstanding. He is patient, skilled, and very thoughtful in how he works with the kids.
Love the instructors and the values they teach! This is not just a place to learn self defense and martial arts techniques. Their primary focus is building character and they do an incredible job in a fun and interactive way. The instructors are also great with the kids! A great balance of silly and serious.

Our family has had an amazing experience with Premier Martial Arts Folsom! Mr. O’Leary and Mr. G are incredibly dedicated instructors who truly care about each student’s progress. My kids are learning so much in the Black Belt program — not only in martial arts skills, but also in confidence, focus, and discipline.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Folsom
Premier Martial Arts Folsom 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 Folsom
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.
