A class for every age in the family

Same values, taught four different ways — because a seven-year-old and a seventy-year-old do not train the same way.

Why families stay

We teach Taekwondo. We are really teaching everything else.

Challenging, but not scary. Structured, but not cold. Fun, but still held to a standard. That balance is the whole job.

Confidence that transfers

The kid who will not speak up in class starts raising a hand. Parents notice it before we do.

Focus they can hold

Consistency beats talent. We build the habit of finishing what you start, one class at a time.

Families on the team

We meet students where they are — and we treat the people who drive them here as part of the crew.

One membership, two floors

Two studios. Two timetables. One membership.

Your membership is not tied to one building. Both floors run the same curriculum with the same instructors — at different times. Miss Tuesday at one? Catch the same class at the other. Your free first class is at Hazelwood; once you enroll, both studios are yours.

The most flexible training schedule in St. Louis. Florissant runs later evening bands, Hazelwood adds daytime, black belt and sparring classes — and your membership covers both. A late shift, a school run or a Tuesday game does not cost you a week of training.

No pressure, promise

Exactly what happens on your first visit

Nobody gets cornered at the front desk. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.

01

You book online

Takes about forty seconds. Pick who is training and which location — that is it.

02

We call to confirm

A coach calls within one business day to find a class time that actually fits your week.

03

You train, free

Show up in comfortable clothes. We supply the rest. Parents watch from the seating area.

04

You decide later

We answer your questions and send you home. If it is not a fit, that is a completely fine answer.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks

Yes. No card, no deposit, no strings. Your first class is at our Hazelwood studio — once you enroll, you can train at either location. You train, you ask questions, you go home and think about it. If it is not right for your family, telling us so is a perfectly good outcome.
None at all. Come in comfortable clothes you can move in — a t-shirt and shorts or sweats. We supply everything else for a sample class, and most students start with no background whatsoever.
No. We will show you what the programs look like, answer what you ask, and give you the pricing in writing so you can talk it over at home. Nobody signs anything on the floor.
That describes a large share of the students who walk in. We meet them where they are — an instructor stays with new students their first few classes, and nobody is put on the spot before they are ready.
Adults have their own program at both locations, all levels, no age ceiling. Plenty of parents start after watching from the seating area for a few months — and training alongside your kids is genuinely one of the best things about it.
It depends on the program and how often you want to train, so we go over the options in person and put them in writing. There are family rates for multiple siblings. Ask on your visit — we will not dodge the question.
