From the reviews

Our daughter has been attending this studio for nearly 4 years and we love it! She has learned an immense amount for her young age and has been to competition 3 times. She is complimented constantly for her stamina and strength, which comes from great teaching!

My daughter has been going here for two years. She loves it. The instructors are professional, personable and very nice. It seems that all the kids, regardless of their individual level, get a great deal from the lessons. They have a good mix of excellent instruction, discipline and fun.

I have tried to several different karate schools with my 2 boys, (11 & 13). Premier Martial Arts with Instructors Master D. Liner and Jonathan feels like family. I am always greeted with a smile and a hello when I walk through the door.

Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches 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 positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
