Martial Arts Schools near Ballwin

“My son has been training at Gracie Barra West County for over a year, and we absolutely love it! He takes both kickboxing and jiu-jitsu, and he enjoys every single class. Professor Jonny is amazing — he pays attention to every kid, keeps them motivated, and truly cares about their progress. The energy in the school is always positive, the schedule is super convenient, and classes are offered almost every day. We’re so grateful to be part of this community. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff! Great for all ages! Various opportunities to increase social skills, physical abilities, endurance, leadership skills, confidence and much more!“

“Facility is top notch and well maintained, everyone is welcoming and full of knowledge. Great approach to teaching something serious while maintaining a laid back approach.“

“Great school. Family atmosphere. Sifu Dennis is a top of the line instructor, and has been a Mentor, Teacher, and Friend for 15 years. You can train here for health and wellness, and to defend yourself if needed, plus everything in between. You will not find a better Wing School in the area, possibly in the country. Blessed to be a student here.“

“My children only just started but from the intro session and first class they have found such a love and enjoyment for martial arts. Shoutout to all the instructors they did a great job guiding my kids in the first class and especially Mr Roy who is so good with the kids, kind and very knowledgeable.“

“Very engaged staff. The business offers the unique one on one instruction and some smaller class sizes. Very friendly and experts in what they do (build students’ confidence, and overall develop their skills at their pace). Give it a try…“

“We had a great time doing a woman’s self defense class. It was educational, fun and super informative. Highly recommend!“

“They are friendly, kindness and the best martial arts in the city. My kids love Mr. Howard and especially the boss lady Kelsey. We love them and I bet you guys will love them too. Highly recommended.“

“Master Hardin and Master Marquart work very well with all of the students. Very strong focus on respect, taekwondo tenants, and self-defense. They’re always striving to improve students. Easy to speak to and will answer any question“

“I have been a member of XKM for just over two months. I joined because of knowing very little about self defense. The instructors and support are excellent. Longer term students have also been great with assistance. My goal was to learn something about defense and that’s been very productive.“

“We just started and my boys absolutely love it here and always look forward to going! The team here are so welcoming. The class for the littles is pretty big but the instructors are so kind and patient with each one of them. One thing I’ve noticed at every class is there are others who steps in and help with the littles when they see them struggling with something and show how proud they are of them when they got it. They sure do make every kid here feel important.“

“One of the best Filipino martial art academies in the city of St. Louis or even the state of Missouri“
