From the reviews
My son Isaiah LOVES coming to his classes. I have seen so much change and bravery in my son since he started going here. What a positive influence it has been in his life and I am so grateful for premier. So much so I am starting classes my self this Tuesday!
My son is 4 years old and such a "covid kid" so our time in class each week is his time to let loose. I love that the instructors are so patient and the lessons are right on time for the little ones. Rj looks forward to "ninja school" each week and always comes home practicing the moves. Thank you Premier Martial Arts
My son has gained strength and confidence since starting at PMA. He loves learning materials arts and I love that he is also learning important lessons of character building and personal development.
Premier Martial Arts is top tier! Our daughters were interested in martial arts and we had looked around at some local places. I received a flyer from PMA from our kids school. We went to a workshop and signed up for classes the same day.
New to kickboxing? Start at Premier Martial Arts Hamburg
Premier Martial Arts Hamburg 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 Hamburg
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.
