From the reviews

It’s a great place for the kids to learn about Karate. Joel is a great teacher making the class so fun for the kids to enjoy and learn the discipline of the class.

★★★★★ — K, Aug 2024

Our whole family love this place! The instructor is amazing. Karate Dave teaches in a way that is fun for kids but they learn so much. The adult class is very inspiring. He is a great guy. We highly recommend this place.

★★★★★ — Matteo, Oct 2024

Karate Dave is fantastic. He is stern when he needs to be, but also hilarious and fun. They really focus on confidence building, listening, and respect. The parents night out is a plus. My son enjoyed going here. The reason I decided to look elsewhere was because I didn't feel like my son was being pushed.

★★★★☆ — Lindsey, May 2025

This place is outstanding and Mr. Goron is amazing. My daughter has only been attending a couple of weeks now and she absolutely loves it! She is delayed in many areas and has a motor planning delay. Mr. Goron has the patience and passion for teaching kids.

Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts Peoria

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.
