“Not only was the party a huge success, but the classes themselves have been incredible for my son. He has gained so much confidence, discipline, and respect since starting.”
“They learn a lot more than martial arts moves, as the instructors help teach confidence, self control, respect, caring for others, how to listen, and a ton of other stuff.”
“The team at PMA are so welcoming, communicative and organized when planning the party.”
From the reviews
I've seen the progression in both of my sons since starting with PMA. They've gotten better in school when it comes to self discipline. They've also taught each other to push themselves to be a better person mentally and physically. They started from no skills to being some of the standouts in class.
Premier Martial Arts Arapahoe is awesome! I grew up doing martial arts and have been in and out of it my whole life. The benefits of martial arts, like self-discipline and self-defense, were things I wanted my children to learn and what I benefited from, and so began the search for a good martial arts studio.
Our 10 year old daughter was practicing martial arts at another school and she really fell in love with the sport. We decided to try PMA in Aurora and we are beyond happy with our decision. Tami, the owner is so welcoming and kind.
The instructors are incredible, my daughter started here when she was 3 and has already learned so much. They are very patient with timid kids and make everyone feel welcome.
New to kickboxing? Start at Premier Martial Arts Arapahoe
Premier Martial Arts Arapahoe comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Premier Martial Arts Arapahoe
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.
