From the reviews

We first discovered Premier Martial Arts through the City’s summer camp program two years ago, and their upbeat, engaging style immediately stood out. Though our busy lives kept us from signing up right away, when we started looking for a school for our 8-year-old daughter in August 2024, we tried several other places.

★★★★★ — Monna, Feb 2026

We absolutely love Premier Martial Arts! The staff and instructors are truly incredible—patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth and success. Since joining, my daughter’s confidence has grown 100%.

Your first kickboxing class at Premier Martial Arts Corpus Christi

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, 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.
