From the reviews

Both of my daughters (12 and 7) have enrolled and it is so exciting to see them grow their skills and confidence. The teachers are talented martial artists who make class fun and are able to break down martial art techniques in a way that is easy for the students to learn.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Mar 2021

I can’t say enough good things about this martial arts school. We put my son Andrew who is on the spectrum in it when he was six because of being bullied. They have helped him push himself to rise to every occasion. This place has become a second home.

★★★★★ — Staci, Jun 2025

We have only been members at Premier Martial Arts Riverton for a month; but it has already been a game changer for my child. She has more confidence in herself; and the classes are a good physical outlet for her.

★★★★★ — Keesha, Mar 2021

My son was going threw a phase of not listening, It was so bad that every time I opened my mouth I was speaking to myself. He has been in Premier Martial Arts for about a month now and he has been improving so well and with more then just listening.

New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts Riverton

Premier Martial Arts Riverton 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 Riverton

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.
