From the reviews
I recently enrolled my son into this martial arts program and so far am very impressed with everything. Mainly I'm impressed by the instructors ability to push the kids to there limits without being overbearing. When you first come inside the facility is very inviting and a friendly atmosphere.
Helped to build my teenagers confidence and self defense skills. Definitely worth the money. Thank you Sensei Dave for encouragement!
We are having a good experience for almost a year with our seven-year-old. The instructors are caring, knowledgeable and passionate. A great combination of martial arts skills plus monthly human values lessons. Highly recommend!
Great place for advanced and beginner martial artist if your looking for a realistic fight system this is the place trust me you will not regret the instructors are great the place feels warm most importantly the system works
New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts - St. Louis, MO
Premier Martial Arts - St. Louis, MO 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 - St. Louis, MO
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.
