From the reviews
We recently signed up for martial arts here. My grandson needs to gain more confidence and discipline. I brought him in to meet Coach Phil and they had an introductory session to see if my grand was really going to be interested. It went very well, Coach is engaging and challenging.
This is a great school, run by one of the best Martial Arts Instructors around! They are very professional and have a great curriculum and connection with their students. I recommend it!
I HIGHLY recommend Premier Martial Arts! Every single instructor is AWESOME and Love what they do. If it’s not premier it’s not MartialArts!
Instructor Jason is a great teacher. He makes learning martial arts really fun for kids.
New to BJJ? Start at Premier Martial Arts Sacramento
Premier Martial Arts Sacramento 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 Sacramento
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.
