My oldest son is 10 years old and has been attending classes as American Karate for 5-years. My youngest is 7 and has been attending for over a year. In my opinion this school ia the best in the St Louis area. The instructors are top quality. All of the instructors take the time to really get to know the students and teach in a way that is challenging yet motivational to each student. Since starting this journey my boys are more confident, focused and poised to handle many different situations inside and outside of martial arts. I can't say enough about the quality of this school, the students who attend and the instructors. We love American Karate!

What a wonderful place; I could not be happier with American Karate. My son Dyllan (7 years old) started there just over a year ago. Dyllan and I both have made many friends along the way and the instructors are very personable. Although Dyllan has only been with American Karate a short time, he has achieved many accomplishments. Not only is he already a green belt but he is also in the top 3 of his division within the UKA and has graduated to advance classes in Ju-Jitsu and Weapons. Most importantly to me, American Karate instructors help aide in the development of Dyllan's confidence, respect, courage, focus and manners. I could not ask for better role models for my son to look up to.

I have been going for over a year and love it. The instructors really want you to do well. They never make you feel like you are just a gym membership. They have something for everyone in your family

Talk about a place that has something for everyone! Our entire family works out here, from four years old to forty years old. American Karate offers fitness kickboxing, personal training, amateur boxing, competitive kickboxing, MMA training, adult and kid karate classes, and self defense. You name it, we’ve tried (and loved!) it! The cardio kickboxing classes are taught on actual bags and incorporate muscle sculpting as well as interval training in a multitude of ways that can be adapted for any fitness level. From beginner to experienced, these classes routinely have a variety of participant levels and you feel comfortable working out on the level that best suits your needs. Another fabulous way to continue focusing on your needs is personal training. With personalized sessions ranging from a focus of weight loss to development of proper form and all the way to competitive training for actual ring fighting, these trainers will use your strengths to develop your weaknesses and get you where you want to be. Nothing beats the expertise and experience of training with American Karate’s competitive teams. The karate classes are extremely versatile in format, welcoming students of every age and all levels, beginning with the basics of Lil’ Dragons all the way to earning a black belt and competing in tournaments. The self defense classes are geared towards teaching basic, simple moves that can ultimately save your life. Every instructor we’ve worked with has been highly knowledgeable, professional, energetic, and teaches with positive reinforcement. We’ve made great friends and that social connection has helped us maintain our enthusiasm for working out in every season for over two years now. No matter what you and your family are looking for, American Karate and Fitness has it for you!

This is a wonderful place to workout out - very friendly and no pressure atmosphere. I've taken both the fitness kickboxing and the karate classes. The fitness classes are high energy & a lot of fun. There are several instructors, so I get a variety of workouts.



The karate classes are great for the mind and body. This is something the whole family could enjoy. I highly recommend American Karate to anyone looking to stay in shape.
