Martial Arts Schools near Maryland Heights

“Once upon a time I was devoted to kick boxing thinking with it I was equipped to defend myself against a bodily attack. After stepping into the world of Kenpo however I quickly discovered that in a real attack I was not likely to be wearing boxing gloves. I’ve never looked back and returned to kick boxing ever since. I’m a Kenpo student for life under the amazing instruction of Grand Master Bill Boyd.“

“Growing up with Twin Dragons Taekwondo has been better for me than anything else Ive been involved in. I started when I was five, and I am currently 17. I am going to test for my 3rd Degree black belt this Summer and there’s no doubt that I haven’t earned it. I am a two time national medalist and have been competing and earning trophies and gold medals since I was a white belt. I’ve competed in over 150 tournaments throughout my martial arts career, competed in state tournaments, always medaling. I made lifelong friends here that I still keep in contact with to this day, they are the most honest, genuine, family-like friends I’ve ever met. Im a 90 pound female and I genuinely feel I can handle myself better than any average person, I often spar/defend against males who outweigh me by 50-80 pounds and handle myself just fine.“

“We cancelled over phone in December. Charged in January. In January we cancelled over email and asked why we were charged again and they said it was due to the timing and the wording on the contract. Charged again several times. Ultimately called and spoke with the owner and was able to get the mistaken charges refunded. Stand up guy, dug into the reason why the payment cancellations failed to take hold and changed the process so nobody else would be affected“

Witnessing his progress has been immensely rewarding for both him and our family. Inspired by her brother's achievements, his little sister eagerly joined the training as well.As a parent, observing their development from the sidelines fills me with pride. The staff at the facility are not only supportive but also highly knowledgeable, providing a nurturing environment for all students. I particularly admire how the black belt students go out of their way to assist others in reaching their own black belt goals.Despite the distance we have to travel to reach the studio, the journey is unquestionably worthwhile. I wholeheartedly recommend this ATA studio to anyone considering joining. It's been a transformative experience for our family, and I'm confident it will be for others too.“
