Martial Arts Schools near Eagan

“My son and daughter attended the KickStart Martial Arts After School program for 5 years - it is amazing how 4 years later they still speak of the lessons and strength they gained through KickStart and under the amazing care and direction of Master Sisk and his wife Kellie. My daughter who has been fighting and auto immune disease health issues all year long said just the other day - that it is because of what she learned about perseverance and grit that she was able to get through this year and come out the other side. I cannot thank this family enough for being family and mentors to my children. I can’t say enough about what the investment in this program has paid out in my children and our lives! Thank YOU Kickstart Family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Love this place. My whole family grapples here. They are great with the young ones and anyone new to the sport. If you’re interested at all sign up!“

“Couldn’t recommend Raberge’s leadership martial arts more! There’s honestly not a single thing I would change about our experience. Our whole family is involved. It’s so fun to get strong, practice and learn together as a family. I love how confident our children are becoming and the dedication to advancing up in ranks is so fun to watch. Not to mention how awesome it is getting a workout in as a family a few days a week! We have a family goal to all become black belts in the next few years. The passion and positive environment are contagious. The words of wisdom and encouragement we get from the staff and our peers is so motivating. We love that the lessons we learn in class also translate to our home life. The students earn rewards for making good choices at home as well as in the studio. It’s such a helpful parenting tool to add to our repertoire. Highly recommend checking out the studio for your children (and even yourselves).“

“Whether you’re a beginner, an expert, or somewhere in between, come to MKG! I have taken Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes here for almost 2 years and can’t speak highly enough of the experience. The staff are welcoming and willing to help you with any questions! I have met the most wonderful people here. The price is worth it, you can go to unlimited classes and use the open gym for free weights each month. There are over 5 different types of martial arts classes you can take here so you WILL find something you like! This is the kind of gym where you don’t feel judged or intimidated by anyone. It’s also super women friendly! I have other women in my classes all the time which adds to the welcoming environment. If you love martial arts, or are just curious, stop by MKG!“

“I have been taking my young daughter here for almost 2 years. The amount of growth and maturity I have seen in her - due to what she learns here at RMA - is amazing!

Excellent instructors with empathy and care. I highly recommend this academy.“

“In today’s world, integrity, responsibility and respect are missing. At K1 karate their focus on those ideals in a playful, fun atmosphere show in their classes.“

“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.“

“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!!!??“

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

“Fantastic birthday party experience for my 4 year old son and his friends. Highly recomend!“

“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.“

“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!!“
