Martial Arts Programs Available In St. Louis

The character development program at Gateway Karate has been the most beneficial aspect for our child! He has shown such improvement with his grades, attitude, manners and coordination. The instructors are polite and good to the children. My son would never want to go anywhere else.

Gateway Karate has made a positive impact on me because I’m more active; I’m healthier, and more determined. The instructors have helped and encourage me during my training. I also tend to look at things more positively now. The most beneficial portion of my Gateway Karate training is the self-defense. Before training, I would have had no idea how to defend myself if necessary. I wasn’t sure what to do and what targets of the body were the weakest. After my training began, I learned many techniques on how to defend myself. This year in PE, I ran the entire mile and finished third in my class. I came close behind a track runner. The healthy zone range was 9 - 11 minutes and I finished fours seconds before that. That my not seem like much, but I shaved off another two minutes from last year’s final score. The instructors at Gateway Karate have encouraged me every step of the way.

In school and in Church, Josh has greater confidence through his martial arts training. As a person the martial arts has benefited Josh health wise. Sensei talks to Josh about setting goals, how to be a better person and how to be a leader and I can see how that has benefited him in school and with the part-time job Josh has.
