We started our 3.5 year old son here and he's doing great already with the basics of BJJ while also learning team building skills, respect, and engaging in a great form of exercise.

It's somewhere for all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels. The biggest perk about Revive is that not only do they offer the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training around, but you can also take a variety of other classes with your membership. Between Yoga, Muay-Thai, Cardio Kickboxing and Kettlebell Training, this place really has everything you need. Check it out!

I've been training here since the place opened. Ray is genuinely concerned about his students…read morereaching their full potential. It's hard to explain, but there is a holistic approach here that I would imagine has to be pretty unique - especially among gyms that include MMA instruction. This a place of healing, which doesn't meant the workouts aren't hard (they are); it's just that if you have a nagging injury you can get help with that here too. Whether you're in your 50s and looking to stay in shape or you're fresh out of high school and thinking about training to fight, there's a place here for you. The climate/culture of any gym that provides martial arts instruction is going to be a direct reflection of the owner; there are plenty of horror stories out there about unqualified blowhards creating dangerous and toxic training environments for their students. You won't find any of that here. Everybody is here to help each other get better and egos get checked at the door. If you've been thinking about getting into the fastest growing sport in the world, this is the place.

I have personally trained 8,000+ students during that time and I know everyone of them can easily defend themselves if they had to in any situation. I have attended 60+ Taekwondo competitions in the midwest and handed out thousands of trophies to winners of various events and Park's Martial Arts students take an inordinately large number of 1st Place wins. Grandmaster Tae Hyen Park is an 8th degree, 8th Dan, Black Belt certified by the Kukkiwon in Korea and teaches every day of the work week at his two schools in St. Louis. Some of Grandmaster Park's students have started their own schools. In those 21 years at Parks I have watched 10+ Martial Arts schools in the area go out of business - you do not want to start your training at a school that hasn't been in business at least 10 years. You want to stay with the same Grandmaster during all of your training. Grandmaster Park has promoted 10 Master Instructors who have trained with him for at least 15 years each; each started as a white-belt at his schools. Students at Parks range from 5 year olds to 70 year olds - there are specific kids classes that are fun for the kids while they learn how to defend themselves. There are adults only classes and full contact heavy duty classes taught only by Grandmaster Park. About 20% of our students are part of a family unit, brothers and sister, mom and dad and even grandpa. Taekwondo is a sport that the entire family can have fun learning as the kids grow up. Grandmaster Park is one of just a handful of Grandmasters in America that can train you from a white-belt to a 4th degree black belt - a Master Instructor. Grandmaster Park's curriculum is 100% identical to that taught at the Kukkiwon in Korea - the only difference is that English is the primary language here instead of Korean. So if you want to be trained by a Korean Grandmaster who has built two thriving schools I invite you to drop by one of his schools and see for yourself - don't just accept rumors on the internet - it takes just a few minutes to find out that Taekwondo taught by Grandmaster Park can change your life forever.

Grandmaster Park has a great school! He is the heart and soul of this school, he teaches regularly…read moreand makes sure there is quality instruction from the other teachers. I started here about 11 years ago when my 2 boys were little, we took some time off and then came back about 3 years ago-am I glad we did! We all got our 1st degree black belts 2 years ago, and my 17 year old son and I just got our 2d degree. It's great to have something that a 53 year old mom can still do with her 17 year old son. It has been an inspiration for me to watch him grow from a little boy beginner to now being a full instructor. That's one thing I really like about Park's Martial Arts, it's for almost anyone. Students from little kids to teenagers to those just out of college to parents are all able to reach their full abilities at this school. Special needs kids also take classes. Even though there are many different abilities, everyone can get a great workout. And, no matter what ability you have, discipline and respect are expected from everyone.

I called this gym to ask if they offered a free trial. The owner confirmed I could come in and…read morestart a 7-day trial immediately. When I arrived, an employee had me fill out paperwork and provide my card information. I trained that day and returned once more, but the experience was disappointing -- no coaching, no feedback, and overcrowded classes where you could barely move. I'm new to boxing and received zero instruction from any of the coaches during either visit. I decided to cancel before the end of the 7-day trial. When I called the owner, he instantly became defensive and claimed I'd signed a 12-month contract. When I reminded him he promised a trial, he said he was "on a roof" and hung up on me. He later admitted that his employee shouldn't have signed me up for a membership and said he would refund me. I provided my name as he requested, but he never issued the refund and stopped responding to my messages. As for the facility itself, it was unclean and overcrowded. The floors were covered in sweat, shoes and clothes were piled in the hallway, and the air was stifling. Safety seemed like an afterthought -- I even had to buy used hand wraps from an employee because no one had a key to the new ones. In the end, I was charged for a "free trial" that offered no training, no professionalism, and no respect. I've had to dispute the charge with my bank. I would strongly recommend finding another gym that values honesty, cleanliness, and actual instruction.
