From the reviews
My son is 4 years old and such a "covid kid" so our time in class each week is his time to let loose. I love that the instructors are so patient and the lessons are right on time for the little ones. Rj looks forward to "ninja school" each week and always comes home practicing the moves. Thank you Premier Martial Arts
My son has gained strength and confidence since starting at PMA. He loves learning materials arts and I love that he is also learning important lessons of character building and personal development.
Absolute wonderful place and staff is the best I’ve ever seen! It’s has done wonders for both my children Both of which have had self confidence and self discipline issues.
Premier Martial Arts is top tier! Our daughters were interested in martial arts and we had looked around at some local places. I received a flyer from PMA from our kids school. We went to a workshop and signed up for classes the same day.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Hamburg
Premier Martial Arts Hamburg 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 Hamburg
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.
