The school…read morethat they were going to before had made them loose interest quite quickly and they eventually stopped wanting to go. Now, at My Martial Arts, the boys can't wait to go to class. It's all they can talk about when they see family members and they can't wait to tell them what they've learned. The boys are learning quickly and doing so well! The youngest constantly tells everyone that he's got class tonight,even when he doesn't, because he's so excited! The instructors are great with the kids and the boys have fallen in love with them and consider them to be great friends and teachers. I couldn't be happier taking them here and wouldn't consider taking them anywhere else.

It was fantastic seeing the kids have so much fun, burn some energy, and learn a few new tricks and skills. Mr & Mrs Howard and the instructors did a tremendous job and I am so happy/pleased the party went off without a hitch. I absolutely love this Taekwondo studio and how the owners are not only attentive/patient with the kids but want to take a moment to rave how this studio has built such a great thing for our community, the kids have a fun/safe space to learn new things, grow, and the families are super helpful and supportive of each other. I am so happy my kid has grown so much here and hoping for more opportunities to come. Thank you.!

He loves the program as well as my husband and I do too. The whole team is awesome. Mrs. Howard is very detailed and great at communicating everything to us about the program and upcoming schedule. Mr. Howard is an awesome teacher. He is so patient (more than I would ever be teaching kids) and knowledgeable of Martial Arts and training. His crew is also top notch. Mr. Ali and Mr. Bucholtz have been with the program since my son has started (1 1/2 years ago) and very dedicated to the classes they teach. Mr. Graffiths brings high energy to the class and the kids are very engaged when he teaches. We are so glad we continued with the program and new ownership. Thank you so much!

**Warning** Do NOT send your minor Children to their AFTERSCHOOL or Summer Camps. I have known and…read morebeen associated with Master Kim and his school, since he started in 2011, when he started out in Webster Groves. Many even know I've supported them for years on social media. Thus, I pass all of this with a heavy heart. I feel an obligation to pass this, as a lot has been overlooked, and as a parent, I've been concerned for my children's safety, and mental well-being while attending the afterschool and Summer camps the past 2 years. I have always been a supporter of his school for TKD, and their recent expansion for the AFTERSCHOOL and now SUMMER Camp program. I will say to parents - send your children at your OWN RISK. I am not speaking of his regular TKD classes, which still instructs their students in the TKD style they are known for. For example, their staff during these programs are minors. They are not accredited childcare providers, I don't even believe they are CPR/First Aid Certified to name one that should be obvious. Yes, they have adults on staff but the adults don't even have their "eyes" on our children during the day. They have installed security cameras recently, but these do not replace "supervision" which it has lacked. My recent concern is of the "minor" instructors being reported to "hit" our children. This, in my book is a red flag. That instructors do not have the maturity to understand "appropriate" behavior with our children. The school has also notified me (2 weeks before school starting and paying the registration fee early) that my child has now been "waitlisted" for the afterschool program (2025 school year) because they "short-staffed," and this message was passed by the staff to me, after asking them to investigate these acts of "hitting" by the caretakers. Unacceptable. Therefore, parents, if you see "red flags" it's probably true. "Trust your gut" and I'm truly disheartened by this school and the management. Again, I am not negative on obtaining education in TKD. I do myself, possess a Black Belt in TKD and have always been a fan of #minoritybuisnesses and #martialarts. I am not a fan of lack of supervision when it comes to child-care/afterschool/camp, which is so unfortunate in this case.

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

I honestly hope they are never in a situation that they would have to use their karate skills, but I at least feel they have been given the ability to get out. This year my 5 yr. old started in the beginner, and wife started in the Adult only classes, and it has become a great family activity. It is fun watching my older girls work with both of them, since as brown belts they have to help with the instruction in other classes. The instructors are great, and Holly has been an awesome role model for both my girls. She has a wealth of martial arts knowledge, and is great with the kids. With the 8 to 10 different black belt instructors we are exposed to a wide range of styles and techniques in martial arts, self defense, and sparring areas. After 3 yrs, I highly recommend that anyone should take some sort of martial arts in their life. And if you have kids I would rank this up with a skill just as important as reading and writing. The fitness and self-confidence that it has provided for my girls has built them a foundation for pursing whatever they want. And with the world we live in today for girls and boys. I feel I've given them the best chance to get out of the bad situations they may face. Thank you, and I hope to see you at class. Matt
