★★★★★ — Lezlie, May 2025

Our daughter has been in Sensei Ryan's class for almost 2 months and we are loving it! She is learning valuable self-defense techniques that are taught from a practical and life-saving standpoint should someone ever attack her. She's 15, so we had the choice to put her in the teen class or basic adult class.

★★★★★ — Crystal, Jun 2022

My Marcy just received her orange belt. I can’t even begin to describe how far she’s come mentally, emotionally, and confidently. I put her in karate due to low self esteem issues. (Those are a thing of the past now) I’ve waited this long to post a review because I’m very gun shy when it comes to endorsements.

★★★★★ — Amiri, Jun 2023

My son loves doing martial arts at premier. They have been so supportive of each child and help them grow in their confidence. When my youngest son decided to try martial arts, they were so patient with him and encouraging (he has ASD level 3 and doesn't always do well following directions).

Your first Krav Maga class at Premier Martial Arts South Lex

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.
