From the reviews
This is an outstanding place, with excellent coaches offering high-quality training and unwavering support. Blending technical skill with deep thinking, all while maintaining a great sense of humor makes the martial arts learning enjoyable.
My son has been attending Premier Martial Arts for a year now. We were looking for a place where he could build confidence, discipline, and balance, but also somewhere that felt welcoming and had a strong sense of community. Coach Robert and Coach Alejandro have been incredibly kind and helpful from the very beginning.
**5/5 Stars** Premier Martial Arts River Oaks is an exceptional martial arts school that offers a diverse range of disciplines. The instructors are highly skilled and dedicated, creating a supportive environment that fosters growth in both children and adults.
My 9-year-old son, Noah, has absolutely fallen in love with his martial arts class! The instructors are incredible not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth. We’ve seen Noah grow more confident, focused, and excited every week.
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts River Oaks
Premier Martial Arts River Oaks 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 River Oaks
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.
