From the reviews
This is a great school. We have been very impressed with the instructors. They are very focused on making sure the Karate experience is positive and motivating for the kids. My 5 year old loves coming 2 times a week and never wants to miss. The school focus on a variety of martial arts/styles.
I am very impressed with Premier Martial Arts Pleasant Grove! My 11 year old son has been going for 7 months and loves it! Twice a week is perfect! I love that they teach good principles and morals alongside self defense. They are teaching my son to be a good human being while also having fun and working hard.
My 2 kids love going to martial arts here and they've been going since it first opened! Instructor David and instructor Jackson are awaome to work with. They've helped My daughter come along ways with confidence and doing what she needs to do even in front of big crowds.
Our family absolutely loves Premiere Martial Arts! The instructors are amazing, and the environment is both fun and meaningful. Our kids have grown so much—not just in their physical skills, but in confidence, discipline, and leadership thanks to the mat chats and lessons about being a black belt in life and in the…
New to Krav Maga? Start at Premier Martial Arts
Premier Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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
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.
