From the reviews

Our family has been so impressed with, and grateful for our experience with Premier Martial Arts of West Cary. Although martial arts was new to us, and potentially daunting for our 5 year old daughter, this studio made all of us feel so comfortable and supported from the beginning.

★★★★★ — Veronica, Apr 2026

Awesome place! Mr. Malone and Mr. Kevin are an awesome duo and really love what they do, they are impacting the youth in the community. I enrolled my 9yo in the black belt class. I have saw a huge difference in her behavior, discipline, motivation and confidence level.

★★★★★ — Tephanie, Sep 2023

Great place! My son absolutely loves attending classes here. The instructors do a fantastic job with the kids, not just teaching them martial arts but that character matters too. They are intentional with each student so they feel important.

★★★★★ — Amber, Sep 2023

If you thought PMA Morrisville was just for the kids, think again! It is an absolutely great place to bring your child or teenager to help build self confidence, focus, agility, and kindness, and learn how to defend themselves if/whenever a situation may present itself.

New to taekwondo? Start at Premier Martial Arts West Cary

Premier Martial Arts West Cary 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 West Cary

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.
