I would definitely recommend them to for anyone interested! :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm excited everytime I go to class. When I was choosing a gym I wanted a place that wasn't super intimidating, was inclusive, fun, would allow me to make friends and wasn't all men. And this place did all that and more. I have found a community of like-minded people that all want to learn and have fun. Plus they host a bunch of fun events outside of class to get to know each other better. What I love the most about this gym is they teach you how to defend yourself in real-world situations so that you feel more empowered and safe in your own body. And they do it in a safe way, too. They really work with you to make sure you're not only doing the moves right, but that you understand why you're doing what you're doing. This gym is for EVERYONE. Any age, gender and body type. I guarantee you will have fun and benefit from these classes. Plus, the first class is free! (And no, they are not paying me to say this, I'm just a big fan)
