From the reviews
Our three kids are students at Premier Martial Arts and since the day they went for a trial and now 5 months in they have had the same enthusiasm. Master Mustafa's expertise and Cristy's warm encouragement create an environment where kids feel motivated to learn and grow.
My 10-year-old started martial arts class with some hesitation, but now it's her absolute favorite activity. The positive environment and engaging teaching style turned her reluctance into excitement. She got her yellow belt recently and that was a game-changer – she's so proud, and it's motivated her to keep going.
The owner is super accommodating and nice and can set up a group for your kids friends and even your own mom friends!
Highly recommend! My son has grown so much in the program! We loved it so much, we have also enrolled my younger daughter. Cristy and Master Mustafa are amazing and truly take the time to understand and work with children to help them build confidence and learn new skills ♥️
New to BJJ? Start at Premier Martial Arts Scarsdale
Premier Martial Arts Scarsdale 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 Scarsdale
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.
