From the reviews

I recently enrolled my son into this martial arts program and so far am very impressed with everything. Mainly I'm impressed by the instructors ability to push the kids to there limits without being overbearing. When you first come inside the facility is very inviting and a friendly atmosphere.

I am a disabled Grandma with a 10 yrs old in my house. I saw an ad about free 2 weeks and tried to sign up, but didn't do it correctly! Someone there reached out to me and helped me schedule the classes!

★★★★★ — Sandra, Dec 2022

We are having a good experience for almost a year with our seven-year-old. The instructors are caring, knowledgeable and passionate. A great combination of martial arts skills plus monthly human values lessons. Highly recommend!

Your first BJJ class at Premier Martial Arts - St. Louis, MO

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.
