From the reviews

Highly recommend. Mr. Sam and Mr. Davis definitely takes an interest in their students and keeps them on task and disciplined. Not only do they teach them self defense, they teach them how to be confident and have respect for themselves and others. I really have noticed a change in my child since joining their classes.

★★★★★ — Kimberly, Aug 2023

My children love martial arts. Their teacher/trainer/coach is very attentive. He is concerned about academics as well as appropriate stance and combinations.

★★★★★ — Ruth, Jan 2024

I'm absolutely blown away by the instructors at Premier Martial Arts ! They're not just teaching karate, they're teaching life skills and confidence to the kids. Kane loves going to class and has learned so much. The instructors are super supportive, patient, and make the classes super fun. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — K, Nov 2025

Great program for kids to learn martial arts. They provide a good balance of instruction, discipline and fun. Our son has attended for over 2 years and looks to every class. Highly recommend if your kid is interested in exploring and learning martial arts.

Your first kickboxing class at Premier Martial Arts Garner

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.
