The instructor and staff are very encouraging and great with the kids. I am so glad we found this school, we love it !
I wish that I could give this place more stars but 5 is all that Google will allow. I can honestly say that Premier Martial Arts Powder Springs has changed my family's lives in countless, great ways! Incredible instructors and an inviting atmosphere and culture.
Alice McCleary and her family provide thorough and highly-qualified martial arts training. My kids have attended her classes for a couple years, and they not only learn skills with karate and weapons, but they have also grown in their confidence and character.
My 10 yr old son is really enjoying Learning the techniques with sparring, using the gloves and punching bags, sword exercises and how much fun the sessions are. The discipline and respect is also great to see. Definitely a great investment.
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.
