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.
This is the best martial arts facility on this side of town. I feel every child should be apart of this amazing program that not only teaches self defense, self-discipline, and Self Respect first. They also teach the kids to have great self-esteem.
New to Krav Maga? Start at Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale
Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a self-defense class, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or athletic to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build the fundamentals (stance, movement, and core self-defense techniques) over weeks, and controlled pressure-testing eases in gradually so every drill stays safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or Level 1 class time so your first session is alongside others who are also just starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Krav Maga class at Premier Martial Arts Hinsdale
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.
