From the reviews

Hey, we've been members since 2018. We've been through a lot, like a move, a remodel, and even a change in ownership. But one thing that's always stayed the same is Premier Dover. They've always been consistent with their training, and they're always professional and kind. The place is huge and welcoming, and Ms.

We love PMA! We love it so much, that the whole family of 5 is doing it, and we recently made the decision of getting the lifetime membership. We moved to Delaware summer 2023, and for a long time my husband and I have talked about getting the kids (3 boys) to do some sort of self-defense classes.

Love this program! My daughter has been part of this program for about two years, and she has grown so much as a result. As a parent, I have seen an increase in self-confidence, respect at home, and physical fitness. Mr. Bravo is both firm and kind, making for a fun class each time.

Your first kickboxing class at Premier Martial Arts Dover

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.
