From the reviews
My child has been attending almost 3 years, and has gained so much confidence in addition to the self discipline and self defense. I would give more than 5 stars if possible! Jason and his team are always there to help, talk, guide, and actually listen! Amazing team!
I can’t recommend Premiere Martial Arts Lebanon more! Jason Warren and all the staff teachers and administrative staff are amazing. Ms. Michelle and Ms. Becca are so knowledgeable, warm and helpful with paperwork or really any questions that come up. And Mr.
Mr. Warren, the Presley family, and all the other instructors and staff at PMA Lebanon have truly made a significant impact in my daughter’s life. V has always been kind hearted and respectful; but after only a few years she has gained so much confidence and self-respect.
We have had the best experience. My son started first, maybe about 9 months ago and it has helped with his discipline and focus. After several months my daughter decided to try it, and it has been a needed confidence booster for her.
New to BJJ? Start at Premier Martial Arts Lebanon
Premier Martial Arts Lebanon 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 Lebanon
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.
