Martial Arts Schools near Eagan

“What an encouraging and motivating environment for all who participate here!
Paul, Kellie, their boys and the student trainers are all such awesome individuals. This is a family run business and they make everyone feel as if they are part of the family.“

“My kiddo has been coming to Jiu Jitsu classes here for about a month now and I have nothing but great things to say about the dojo! All of the senseis are incredibly patient with often large classes of excited kids and they do a great job engaging with everyone on their own level. Even when redirections are needed, they’re done kindly and lovingly.

It can get a bit crowded at times but everyone makes room and they manage the classes beautifully!

Can’t recommend Grappler Station highly enough if you’ve got a kiddo who needs some kind of physical outlet but just hasn’t found their fit yet.“

“This karate studio is incredible! Instructors are professional, knowledgeable, great with kids and overall amazing. My son has just completed his first year with USA karate Rosemount and his transition has been astounding. They have a character development program that has helped my son become a disciplined, healthy, empowered and respectful young man and has improved our home life immensely. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Our experience with Ultimate Martial Arts (UMA) has been fantastic! My daughter looks forward to her lessons each day, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does UMA teach all the cool martial arts techniques and postures, but they also focus on valuable life skills like routine, discipline, and calmness.

Each lesson is thoughtfully structured, and the instructors are incredibly skilled and patient, ensuring every child feels supported and encouraged. We’ve seen such a positive transformation in our daughter’s confidence and self-discipline, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in UMA.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to enroll their child in a comprehensive, supportive martial arts program!“

“Had a great experience with the cove back in late 2000s early 2010s. Lots of good partners and instructors.“

“Great teachers, helping teach self defense and qualities for good people. I'm happy I found them“

“I just got of the phone with Steve and it was an amazing, informative and inspirational phone call that gets you ready for day one. ?? Can't wait. If you have questions about joining, call! You won't be disappointed!!!??“

“My entire family (two grade school kids, my husband, and me) have been going here for about six months, and it's really enriched our lives and improved our health. This school fosters community really well, and I feel like we're all in it together, helping each other pursue our goals.Personally speaking, I'm forty years old and have some chronic health issues. That I'm able to study martial arts with my family alongside twenty-year-old men in peak health speaks to this school's ability to encourage people to grow from wherever they are in life. It has also been a blast learning martial arts as a family (a feat only allowed thanks to this school's pricing structure). I'm able to have fun with my kids while we learn, and sparring with my husband feels like date night.Having never studied martial arts before, I can't compare this place to anywhere else, but here are a few of the things I find striking...The school uses a volunteer format for their instructors. It helps keep the costs low--nowhere else I called could compete with their price--but it also creates a built in sense of comradery. Instructors teach for passion, not a paycheck, and have a personal investment in your success. The instructors rotate on different nights, and students are able to learn from multiple perspectives.Teachers are actively invested in your success regardless of your belt color, but they also care that your belt color *means* something. Students are not bumped up from level to level to make them feel good (you won't find any twelve-year-old black belts here), but as a signifier of knowledge and advancement. It makes this a great place to learn for both beginners and those who are already serious about martial arts.On one recent Thursday night, our two kids received focused instruction in self-defense from a four-time kickboxing world champion, while my husband and I went through our one-steps (a kind of belt-level-based series of movements) with the school's lead teacher. In the background, another black-belt helped students go through form. It all felt so personalized and thoughtful, and I feel privileged to be part of it.This place, in a strip mall basement with aging carpet, is a hidden gem. Give it a try.“

“Without a doubt Master Lindeberg and his School not only Changed my life But Saved my life. I have been a part of his classes going back 26 years. It is hard to put it into words what you will get out of this School. But I can say you will get more then expected. You will have a new family.“

“This place is amazing. Great with kids. Amazing at incorporating home life into the program.“

“I dropped in a few Saterday's here and there. I explained that I live a long ways away. they have the friendliest staff. The wealth of their instructors in mind blowing. So many disciplines taught there to learn.“

“The environment here is about more than learning TKD. The instructors emphasize attributes that kids and adults can apply across so many scenarios. Mr. Johnson demonstrates respect and care for each student that comes through his doors. Would recommend to anyone who wants well rounded martial arts training.“

“Also went here for platinum yoga (they share the space with USA karate!) we did a vinyasa style class, The instructor and owner Denae was so sweet and welcoming. My boyfriend and I do yoga occasionally but not enough to be called yogis, and she was very supportive when we tried new poses. They also offered modifications which was great! Such a cute community they have here but challenging class as well!!“
