From the reviews
PMA Lakewood offers an excellent adult martial arts program. The instructors strike a good balance of intensity and technique and support students at all levels of technical and cardio ability.
We’ve had an outstanding experience at Premiere Martial Arts, especially with Mr. Jordan. Teaching martial arts to 5–7 year olds is not easy, and he does it exceptionally well. He truly takes the time to get to know each child and meets them where they are.
Beyond impressed with this place. Our 3 year old takes a class from Jordan and it has been incredible to see his growth. The skill set, agility and respect that is taught is so well done. Every kid can benefit from this place. It is fantastic! And Jordan is awesome!
We look forward to coming here every week. Coach Jordan is amazing and really connects with each of his students. Classes are fun and engaging. After two months, definitely see an overall increase in focus and confidence in my 7 year old!
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Lakewood
Premier Martial Arts Lakewood 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 Lakewood
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.
