A pricier option than some of my prior gyms in would be my only negative comment.

Everything from the…read morecommunication from Fusion to the instructors excitement and respect towards him to the motivators they utilize to assist him in progressing forward have truly been awesome. Most importantly, we have noticed our little man taking on more responsibilities for himself around school and our home (little things that go a long way like getting himself ready in the morning, helping and playing nicely and exerting patience with his younger siblings, and a little more apt to do things when asked without fuss) since he began his karate journey with Fusion! I would definitely recommend them to for anyone interested! :)

Our son now competes on their Elite Competition Team, has had the opportunity to travel all over the US and train under the best there is in Shotokan including Sensei Avi Rokah and Sensei Toru Shimoji. He has made life long friends who are more like family! He has had the opportunity travel the country to compete and continue to learn! All of this because of the passion and dedication of the Power brothers and the spirit of MKA! If you are looking to learn martial arts and the true meaning and mind set of karate and not a belt factory or pressured into contracts etc. MKA is by far the best in St. Louis!

From the owner: USA Karate Clubs, serving O'Fallon, IL and surrounding areas, has been in operation since 1991…read more Over the past twenty-plus years our club has evolved and balanced changes in the industry, our artistic expectations, and needs of our clients. Martial artists require speed, strength, endurance, agility, distance, timing, technical knowledge, experience, tactics, and strategy. We model and develop these attributes in a supportive, athletic environment. We present a wide variety of skills and drills. Those skills include: Striking Kicking Throwing Grappling Submissions We also adhere to authentic Shitoryu Kata and Bunkai practice. We also expect our members to conduct themselves with decorum in and out of the dojo. We provide the environment, the information, and the opportunity to gain experience. You have to meet us halfway. That means attending practices regularly, paying attention to the lesson, and giving your best effort during practices. This is required of 5 year old beginners, advanced players, and masters. Anything worth doing well requires some personal discipline and sacrifice. Book your appointment today

First off...you'll have to drop $250 on "equipment" that you can buy on Amazon for a fraction of the cost (however they do not allow you to do so). Next...the class sizes are HUGE (my son's class had approximately 30 kids with one instructor and assistant. So the issue my son had was that he didn't get the support or help he needed when mastering different skills. He became super discouraged and HATED going to class. And when I finally decided to cancel they require you to cancel over a month in advance - I was late by one day so I lost my money on an entire months membership and on top of that they will grab another $160 just to cancel. The staff is arrogant as can be. I would not recommend this place whatsoever. Money pit. And FAKE.

Starting something new can be intimidating, but with one-to-one training, there were no other students to "judge" the "new kid in class". However, if we want the group atmosphere, we can attend group classes too --- and we will most likely do that after he learns the ropes. So thankful we discovered Tracy's Karate.

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
