Martial Arts Schools near St. Charles

“My son is new to martial arts all together and the staff here have been so accommodating and helpful trying to make sure he fits in and get him up to speed! They truly want to see the students succeed and have the best possible experience!“

“Everyone here was super knowledgeable, welcoming, and supportive! Gym was clean and had good culture!“

“I can’t speak highly enough about White Dragon Judo. It’s an outstanding environment for anyone looking to learn, grow, and truly immerse themselves in the art of judo. Even practitioners who are far more advanced than I am consistently demonstrate that this club prioritizes individual development, technical precision, and a supportive training culture.

As a complete beginner with no prior martial arts experience, I’ve never once felt out of place. The senseis and fellow judokas have shown remarkable patience and encouragement, creating an atmosphere where progress feels both attainable and motivating.

If you’re interested in beginning judo, or broadening your martial arts education, I wholeheartedly recommend White Dragon Judo.“

“My grandson is a different kid since joining ATA Martial Arts. The instructors are very good and the staff are most welcoming. Every child learns to succeed at his own pace and skill. The confidence they get from it is amazing.“

“Mrs. Bhavikatti is an outstanding martial arts instructor. Her positive energy and exceptional class engagement make every session enjoyable and motivating for the students. She has a wonderful way of making everyone feel genuinely welcomed and included from the moment they step into the building.
What stands out most is how she balances encouragement with accountability — she gently but firmly holds students responsible for doing their best, which has helped my child improve both their skills and their focus. Her great sense of humor keeps the atmosphere light and fun without ever losing the seriousness of the training.
Additionally, Mrs. Bhavikatti’s willingness to engage with parents provides excellent communication and valuable feedback, which I really appreciate as a parent.
Overall, she is an excellent instructor who clearly cares about her students’ growth and development. I would highly recommend her classes to anyone looking for quality martial arts instruction.“

“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…“

“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.“

“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“

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