Martial Arts Schools near Collinsville

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

“This is a great school with sound training principles. Very structured and friendly. They don’t cater to a specific group and really make everyone feel welcome.“

“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“

“What an amazing place! My son loves Master Murdock and we all like the family atmosphere that keeps us coming back! His staff is amazing and it’s so nice to see the advanced students there helping the beginners! Highly recommend them for all of your ATA taekwondo needs!“

“This is a great gym for competitors, people who wanna get in shape, and those just learning the fundamentals. Master Rocky pays attention to his students and his passion for martial arts shines through and through. The gym is fully equipped with a ring and every gadget you would need to succeed along with a great group of folks where there’s no egos only brotherhood. Maybe being at a boxing gym is especially stressful for some, but here I feel at home and appreciated in an environment where everybody wants to help each other. 50 dollars a month is a blessing in todays age as well. All thanks to Master Rocky for his wonderful instruction and my boxing comrades.“
