get in shape, be safe and at the same time instill the life skills and character of a true martial artist while upholding important values like courtesy, patience, respect, self-control, and integrity.

Premier Martial Arts will help students to develop self-discipline, high self-esteem, a positive outlook, a spirit of constant improvement and an attitude that refuses to give up. These values and life skills will lead to remarkable im- provements in academics, careers, and relationships - literally making a better community one Black Belt at a time. Premier Martial Arts incorporates a combination of techniques found in six effective disciplines: Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Kali, and Submission Grappling which provide students with a realistic self-defense and fitness system for a modern world. Israeli Krav Maga- Real World Self-defense Krav Maga is a generic Hebrew word meaning “contact fighting.” The word, maga, means “contact” and the word, krav, means “battle” or “fight”. Krav Maga is a self-defense system. All the techniques focus on strategies and effectiveness in real-life conditions and situations. Kickboxing Premier’s Kickboxing curriculum incorporates the punching techniques of western boxing with the kicking, kneeing, and elbow strikes of Muay Thai kickboxing. This combination makes for dynamic fitness training while training in the world’s best striking system. Karate & Taekwondo Both have long been touted for their confidence-building qualities. The roots of these martial arts go back thousands of years. The belt system used gives children goals they can aspire to and obtain. As a child moves forward in their training and succeeds at achieving each new belt, they are building their confidence by literally watching their abilities come to fruition, thereby teaching them to believe in those abilities. Premier Martial Arts Karate and Taekwondo curriculum includes striking techniques, kicking techniques, self-defense principles and the traditional weapons of the bo staff, nunchucks, sword, and other weapons. Kali In the modern world self-protection and need for weapon defense is a reality. Especially when confronted with an attacker wielding a knife or stick. The art of Kali gives the Premier Martial Arts student the knowledge needed to survive. Submission Grappling Submission Grappling teaches our students how to defend themselves in the event that they are “taken to the ground” in an altercation. Through learn- ing, throws, joint locks, and submission holds, students will be better able to defend themselves in the event that they are on the ground. Fitness is our Goal!
