From the reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Premier Martial Arts Fairwood has been amazing for my daughter, Charlotte. She started here when she was 5 with her white belt, and now at 8 she’s earned her blue belt. The instructors are super caring and really make the classes fun and motivating.
Both my kids, son 7 and daughter 16 have been going for almost a year now. They love class and the teachers. I love that not only are they learning self defense and discipline, but every class there’s a focus on the month’s topic.
We cannot say enough good things about Premier Martial Arts Fairwood. Our 5-year-old son has been attending since August, and the transformation we’ve seen in just five short months has been nothing short of remarkable.
My son has attended this school since they opened and we have been nothing but impressed with the level of patience and compassion each instructor shows for their students. I find value not just in the martial arts aspect but the homework and accountability they look for in the kids.
New to BJJ? Start at Premier Martial Arts Fairwood
Premier Martial Arts Fairwood comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, 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 coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, 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, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts Fairwood
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.
