FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the class hours and weekly schedule at Premier Martial Arts & Fitness Training / Palm Beach Gardens Martial Arts?
The academy offers a broad mix of programs, but the current class schedule and daily hours are best confirmed directly before you plan a visit. That is especially helpful if you are coordinating family training, school-day transportation through PUMA, private lessons, or a specific program such as Little Warriors, Kids Martial Arts, Adult BJJ, Muay Thai, Yoga, or Special Needs Martial Arts. Since the school serves a wide age range and multiple training goals, schedules can vary by program and age group. The most practical next step is to call ahead or check the academy website at http://www.pbgma.com so you can confirm the exact class times that match your routine and training goals.
How does membership pricing work, and is there a trial class option?
Membership pricing is best confirmed directly with the academy, since training options can differ across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, kids programs, private lessons, conditioning, and specialty offerings such as special needs martial arts or parent coaching. If you are comparing options, it is a good idea to ask about trial class policies, intro offers, and which program best fits your goals before committing. A trial visit can be especially useful if you are deciding between adult BJJ, kids’ classes, or family-oriented programs. You can use the website at http://www.pbgma.com to reach out and ask about current pricing, package details, and the best way to start training.

PBGMA offers one of the broadest program lineups in the Lake Park area.

The academy also includes School Affiliate Program, Parent Coaching, Community Service Program, PE for Homeschool & Co-Op, and Special Needs Martial Arts, which makes it a strong option for families looking for a flexible, all-ages training environment. That variety helps students choose a path based on self-defense, fitness, confidence, competition, or personal growth.

That makes it a good fit whether you are interested in self-defense, getting in shape, stress relief, or eventually preparing for competition. The family-friendly environment and qualified male and female instructors also make the transition easier for new students, especially those who want a place that feels supportive and organized. If you have specific learning needs or are looking for a program tailored to a child, asking about the right class placement is a smart first step.
