From the reviews
We’ve been with Premier Martial Arts in Hinsdale since Sensei Harvey started teaching there. We have 3 kids enrolled here and they love every minute of it. Sensei Harvey is so great with the kids. He makes each student feel special. He motivates them to improve and always try their best!
I can’t say enough good things about this school. Everyone there is awesome. Sensei Harvey is incredible. He’s got a way of getting through to children. He has such a positive, commanding presence and the children all love and respect him.
I have 5 kids ranging from 6 to 17 in the classes. They all love it. We love to watch the classes too. The class is about an hour long and we have them in the black belt training program. It’s 15 extra minutes and they get to learn weapons. Harvey is so good with teaching the kids. Harvey has become part of our family.
This is the best martial arts facility on this side of town. I feel every child should be apart of this amazing program that not only teaches self defense, self-discipline, and Self Respect first. They also teach the kids to have great self-esteem.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale
Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale 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 Hinsdale
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.
