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.

My son actually started when they first opened a few years ago and became black belt this year! 🎉🥳🎊. The way his confidence, discipline and love for the sport has increased is phenomenal. The team is awesome and really love what they do and the children. A 10 out of 10 recommend.

★★★★★ — Britt, Nov 2025

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

Your first Krav Maga class at Premier Martial Arts Garner

Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Krav Maga is a contact activity. Ease in, train at your own pace, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
