From the reviews
We absolutely love Premier Martial Arts in Mount Pleasant! Since starting classes, our 6-year-old son has become noticeably more confident, focused, and disciplined. It’s been amazing to watch his growth—not just in martial arts, but in everyday life.
Premier Martial Arts has been a game changer for our son and our family!! We all wholeheartedly give this establishment, its owner and instructors a gleaming 5+ star review! My son has gained confidence both in mind and body. He's gained physical strength and to respect others and himself.
I can’t say enough good things about Premier Martial Arts in Mount Pleasant. Walking in as a 55-year-old beginner could have felt intimidating, but from day one I was met with encouragement, respect, and genuine support.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE! When my husband talked me into signing up our son here, I wasn’t sure if he was ready for karate. But Shaun and Jordan made it clear from the very first class that this was the perfect fit for us.
New to kickboxing? Start at Premier Martial Arts Mount Pleasant
Premier Martial Arts Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant
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.
