From the reviews
We’ve been with Premier Martial Arts in Hinsdale since Sensei Harvey started teaching there. We have 3 kids enrolled here and they love every minute of it. Sensei Harvey is so great with the kids. He makes each student feel special. He motivates them to improve and always try their best!
I can’t say enough good things about this school. Everyone there is awesome. Sensei Harvey is incredible. He’s got a way of getting through to children. He has such a positive, commanding presence and the children all love and respect him.
I have 5 kids ranging from 6 to 17 in the classes. They all love it. We love to watch the classes too. The class is about an hour long and we have them in the black belt training program. It’s 15 extra minutes and they get to learn weapons. Harvey is so good with teaching the kids. Harvey has become part of our family.
My 2 boys have been a part Premiere Martial Arts for a couple of years now and they are loving it. They've learned respect and discipline from Sensei Harvey while keeping the classes fun and the kids active. He is a great instructor and they love him!
New to kickboxing? Start at Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale
Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Hinsdale
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.
