PREMIER COMBAT FAQ’s
 
What do I need to bring to train at PREMIER?
In order to try out the training at Elite you need to bring picture I.D.  Insurance requires this and it's one rule that is NOT made to be broken.   THEN you wil need loose fitting athletic clothing like shorts or jogging pants, t-shirt, athletic cup, and mouthpiece. As you train longer, you will need 16 oz. boxing gloves, cloth hand-wraps, shin-pads, boxing headgear, MMA training gloves, (not MMA fight gloves), a jiu-jitsu GI, (the long-sleeved uniform with belt). Knee pads are optional.
 
How much does it cost?
We run pricing specials every month. There is no sign up fee or tricky hidden cost. Just  the monthly rate. That’s it. You can get an all access pass for $99 per month and go to every class. You can train with multiple UFC veterans,VFC champions, and champions from many other organizations. You will train with top wrestlers, as well. All of this will happen in the best FACILITY in the Midwest. For more info on prices, see the COST selection on main menu.
 
What if I am not in shape?
That’s what we are here for! MMA requires a type of conditioning that is different from other sports. Nobody is in shape when they come in.   Not compared with where they will be after training for awhile. So come on in!
 
What will I learn?
There are many choices at Premier. We have Jiu-Jitsu, in the Gi and No-Gi. We have Kick-Boxing. We have MMA, that combines them both. We have wrestling so you can work on take-down skills and defense. We have Self-Defense classes to be announced. Kids classes are available, they will learn a taekwondo system.
 
When Can I join?
Anytime! Just check the website for class times, and come 20 minutes early.
 
Do I have to compete to train?
No. You can train to get in the best shape of your life and never have to pick a ring-name. You don’t have to spar with some crazy super-super fighter to train at Premier. People train and meet some of the best friends they will ever have and they don’t have to go to work with a black eye to do it.
 
When can I train?
We have day and evening classes, and open gym on Saturday. For a complete class list, see website or the insert in the Information packet. We are closed on Sunday for rest.
 
Do I have to sign a yearly contract?
No.  If you don’t want to train, we won’t make you. But don’t think that way. You will love Premier, just like we do.           
 
How can I pay?
We use Checking/Savings/Credit Card automatic withdrawal for ongoing membership.  We also accept cash or checks for 6 and 12 month increments.
 
How do I cancel?
Just come in and talk to our friendly receptionist, and she will give you a cancellation form to fill out. This prevents confusion that could result in the cancellation of the wrong membership by mistake.
 
What level of competition is available at Premier?
Whatever you need. Period.   Premier is staffed by UFC veterans, VFC champions, a competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, a professional boxer, and a Muay-Thai world champion. These competitors have participated in such events as Pride, Elite XC, The UFC, IFC, KOTC, Rings, Extreme Challenge, and many, many more, and have fought on Pay-Per-View for over 10 years.
 
Are private lessons offerered?
Oh YES! Just see the front desk or talk directly to the instructor you want to teach you. See the PRIVATE LESSONS section under PROGRAMS on the main menu.
 
Are their discounts of any kind?
Yes. There is a $10/month discount for Fire Personnel, Law Enforcement, and Military. There is a discount for competitors, and a discount for families of $10/mo for the second AND third person in the family.
 
If I want to compete, how do I get a fight?
You can get a fight on your own by contacting a promoter. Or, you can get a fight through the gym. We have someone who will find you a fight in an event that we have researched and that we are familiar with. This is not management. It is helping you find a fight in an event that is safe. Not only that, but if you coordinate with Premier, it is more likely that you will fight in an event that already has your Premier teammates fighting in it. Contact Kirk Schuster and he will get you started.
