From the reviews

Highly recommend. Mr. Sam and Mr. Davis definitely takes an interest in their students and keeps them on task and disciplined. Not only do they teach them self defense, they teach them how to be confident and have respect for themselves and others. I really have noticed a change in my child since joining their classes.

My son actually started when they first opened a few years ago and became black belt this year! 🎉🥳🎊. The way his confidence, discipline and love for the sport has increased is phenomenal. The team is awesome and really love what they do and the children. A 10 out of 10 recommend.

★★★★★ — Britt, Nov 2025

I'm absolutely blown away by the instructors at Premier Martial Arts ! They're not just teaching karate, they're teaching life skills and confidence to the kids. Kane loves going to class and has learned so much. The instructors are super supportive, patient, and make the classes super fun. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — K, Nov 2025

Great program for kids to learn martial arts. They provide a good balance of instruction, discipline and fun. Our son has attended for over 2 years and looks to every class. Highly recommend if your kid is interested in exploring and learning martial arts.

Your first taekwondo class at Premier Martial Arts Garner

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.
