I am immensely grateful to Professor Bryan for a great class at a wonderful school. When arriving staff and students were warm and welcoming, everyone wanted to get to know me and had questions about my BJJ journey and my home school. I took a fundamentals class as well as the intermediate class that was just after. I was able to identify some short comings on my game thanks to my training partners and the instructors. I hope business brings me back to St Louis soon so I get a chance to train again at this wonderful school! For people that don't train, but want to: great school, great people, fantastic culture. You will learn Jiu Jitsu, It will be fun, and you will make friends!

Got to visit for Los Angeles. What a great experience. Whether you're visiting or a local trying to…read morefigure out if this gym is for you, here are some take aways. 1. First off, Professor Kyle is great. He was very friendly and welcoming. He introduced me around to a lot of the guys and game me a tour of the gym. You can see what type of vibe a gym has by seeing how the students relate to him during class. Here, you can tell they respect Kyle Watson, but are also friendly with Kyle and there's plenty of friendly banter. Kyle is very attentive throughout the entire class and the class is put together with a lot of thoughtfulness. Kyle is attentive the entire time and super helpful in giving instruction and tips. 2. The vibe of the gym is great. Here, you'll find competitor and hobbyists. Everyone was very kind and skilled. No one is off to take off your head and you can tell there are some skilled people on the matts that can turn it on (if they wanted). Great number of training partners. I can see guys getting good here pretty quickly. And if I lived around here, this would be the gym I would pick. Chill vibe but people here work hard. 3. Facilities. This place is HUGE. Upstairs and downstairs mat space. Mens and women's lockers. Showers. Plenty of space to put your gym bag. The place is CLEAN throughout. 4. Schedule. An underestimated aspect of someone choosing a gym is the schedule. Bottom line, if there aren't a lot of options, you're more likely to stop training. Here, there are a ton of options for advance, beginning, go and no gi. Bottom line, give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect! Such a…read moregreat aquapark, full of fun things to do! From toddlers to adults I think this place is a great place to go to swim or just even lounge around. I went several times with a twelve year old and a fifteen year old and we all had so much fun. It fills up quickly on nice days so don't wait until you feel it's prime time to go to the pool, you will not get the best seats in the house and the place kind of crowds up quickly. From the pool to the swinging rope to the little snack bar, you will have a great time and won't be disappointed I'm sure. Oh, and can you say Doggie Dive In?? Don't forget to bring your four legged friend the day/weekend after labor day. Our pups always have a fantastic time!

It felt a little grimy and the entire facility smelled like urine. At first I thought I was imagining it but I heard someone else make a comment about the pervasive odor. I still love the lazy river and there weren't long waits for the slides/diving boards. Lastly, while floating we overheard a conversation between two lifeguards. "Yeah, I was trying to throw it and I hit a kid. I smoked him right in the head!" (Laughter) "Nice!" (More laughter) Maybe these two shouldn't be working around children.

The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in making sure you enjoy the experience of playing golf. They have a great selection in their Pro Shop for golf gear, along with a snack bar. They even have clubs for PnP and mini golf in case you don't have one. I give this place a 5 star and 2 thumbs up for offering an affordable price on the amenities they offer and for being family friendly :) Also: I did take pictures..please be mindful that due to the long hot summer we have had, it has been a struggle with keeping the course in top shape. This should not reflect on the business or their services.

However, the seating is kind of weird because you're all lined up where the location should have the tables in a square around the Chef so that you can see what the chef is doing and mimic with the chef is doing instead of getting up and sitting down getting up and sitting down. So almost like a large island style shape in a square around the Chef presentation table. Hope this makes sense but there is a lot of getting up and sitting down. For the cost, you really do not get a lot of food so I would highly recommend not planning on this being your dinner I was disappointed and did not mention that we would be sitting with someone else and so if you are a germ phobic , this is definitely not for you. We made pasta and everyone at our table contributed to making the pasta with their hands, and it really made me feel uncomfortable. They provide everything for the recipes they do not offer any drinks minus water. Everything else is BYOB. This is a great experience. I recommend it just a heads up on what to expect.
