Martial Arts Schools near Ofallon

“My son has been a student with Park's Yong In Martial Arts since the age of 5. He began as a Tiny Tiger with Master Mindy, enrolled in a one-month trial. I was so impressed with how patient Grand Master Park and Master Mindy were, how they were able to balance learning and practice with fun, keeping all of those little ones engaged. My son would practice his Home Rules, counting and phrases in Korean, stances, and forms. As he has advanced and grown, so have the lessons. He has learned things you would expect from Tae Kwon Do- how to do different kicks including a Tornado kick, complicated forms, self-defense, how to spar, and how to break boards. He has learned weapons such as nunchucks, bo staff, and swords. He has learned Judo. He has participated in tournaments. He has been part of the demo team, illustrating his skills and working together with his peers.He learned other things that I hadn't thought about. He learned to bow when entering the dojang and to Grand Master Park as a sign of respect. He learned how to accept corrections from others as a way to improve himself. He learned how to get up in front of a room full of people when testing for his next belt. He learned to think before acting. He learned that it takes hard work, determination, and courage to do worthwhile things.My son is now 17 and testing for his 3rd degree Black Belt. Park's Yong In Martial Arts has been a significant part of his life, helping him to become the person he is today. I am profoundly grateful to Grand Master Park, Ms. Melinda, Master Andrew, and Master Mindy for teaching him the art of Tae Kwon Do and how to be an overall good person. If you are STILL reading this review, I highly recommend this dojang. Your child will learn Tae Kwon Do, but the additional lessons your child will learn from the Park family and their way of teaching Tae Kwon Do are so very important.“

“Friendly people and good jiujitsu. In classic 10th planet style, a lot of them are good at leglocks“

“Not gonna lie. I’m 45 and my body generally hurts from years of military training, so when my son asked me to take up a kickboxing class with him, I was 99% certain that it was not going to go well for me. But let me tell you how pleasantly surprised I am at how this gone so far. Nearly 3 months in and while my body is generally sore (as it should be after a good workout), there are areas that were not very flexible before, mainly hips and lower back, that suddenly feel like they’ve received a new quart of oil. I CAN MOVE SO MUCH BETTER! Master Rocky runs his class in a manner suitable to all age groups with a wide range of abilities and treats everyone with respect; he’s simply a great guy. I’m doing this stuff with guys in their 30s, 20s, and even the teenagers. And, I’M KEEPING UP! Not only that, but I’m also slimming down! (or at least getting leaner). Master Rocky’s program is great for those that want to learn a new skill, learn some basic self-defense, or just need someone to coach them through a good a workout a couple of times a week. I am 100% happy with how this adventure that my son talked me into has turned out and highly recommend it for others. Plus, it’s been a great bonding experience for me and my son! You can’t put a price tag on that.“

“Master McArthur is the greatest teacher/mentor you could ask for, could not recommend more highly!“
