From the reviews
Premier Martial Arts is fantastic. Coach Jeff and the staff doing a great job teaching the kids the core martial arts fundamentals and principles. It’s obvious that they care about the kids.
My son is obsessed with Premier! The instructors are top notch, the space is clean, and the kids all seem so happy to be there. Highly recommend!
My son, Ben Hunter, has the best time. He is learning "sweet moves" and self confidence! He loves his punching gloves and his instructors.
Coach Geoff does a great job. Here is the thing, it may appear that he is expecting a lot of the kids. That being said, the gyms and people who trained us as kids were focused on discipline, focus, and execution. He forwards that knowledge onto the kids and sometimes it appears that he is a little rough.
New to kickboxing? Start at Premier Martial Arts Lake Highlands
Premier Martial Arts Lake Highlands 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 Lake Highlands
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.
