Since we’ve opened, we’ve been dedicated to changing the lives of people one person at a time, providing Cape Girardeau with something no one else offers through focusing on Child Development and Adult Enrichment versus another Sport driven Martial Art School.
We strive to provide a safe, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members. We take pride in creating an environment for individuals to achieve, develop and succeed in their personal goals.
We strongly believe that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender or experience levels.
