Martial Arts Schools in Saint Paul

“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.“

“I have been apart of Capoeira Minnesota for many years and it's been the most incredible of community events both indoors and out for both my children and I. I highly recommend joining. The richness of it's culture and background has integrated to the Twin Cities in the most profound of ways. Incredible learning experience and opportunities for growth. If you're wanting to try dance, music and martial arts sign up as soon as you can!“

“Jake and Natalia are pillars in the community. This is a place where *all* can go to find a place to belong while learning valuable skills in MMA. My family has benefited so much - physically, emotionally, relationally- over the years. If you’re here searching for a place to learn MMA, you definitely want to check this place out.“

“I came to Twin Cities T’ai Chi seeking a practice that would help me with emotional and physical processing of a year filled with challenging life events. I got that and so much more.The instructors are knowledgeable and the studio members are warm and inviting. The studio itself is spacious and clean. There are folks with all sorts of different backgrounds, ages, and stories with what lead them to TCTC. I wasn’t expecting this but I ended up gaining a whole new community with fellow studio members and instructors that I love to see each week.If you’re seeking to bring a new practice and community into your life, Twin Cities T’ai Chi might be the perfect fit, as I discovered it was for me.Pro tips:1. Don’t be afraid when entering the building for the first time. The studio is a few floors up in an artists loft building with the doors to the street locked to the public. Arrive a little early to the class and there will be a friendly instructor to open the door and greet you when you arrive.2. Dress in layers and feel free to bring a small backpack. The space is toasty in the winter!3. You will get to work with different instructors each class. The variety is lovely and it creates a well rounded experience!“

“I have been a student of Guro Chris McWethy for 3 years. He is a very good teacher who is very knowledgeable and a good communicator. The class is well organized and always interesting. I have learned real world basic and intermediate self defense techniques. There is also a lot of stick and some knife work. One night per week is sparring with padded sticks.“

“Kuk Sool Won was by far the best thing for me as a kid and growing into adulthood. The physical training empowered my life. The lessons learned still guide my life. I'm so thankful my parents allow me to join Kuk Sool Won. Earning my Blackbelt is one of my most proud experiences! I cant thank my instructors and the schools owners Steffen and Nicki enough. Truly a life changing experience!“

“I am Mohamed Daali I like master nick. He is great coach. i am attending his classes for more than one year. I was very bad at kicking now i am a champion cause of his coaching and teaching.“
