When my son and I came into Master Lim's Martial Arts, we were only looking for a fun and active option to get some exercise. We found so much more. We found nurturing environment that teaches discipline and respect. We found an extended family and life long friends. We found mentally engaging, challenging exercise program to build strength and endurance.

Master Lim is one of the most patient and talented master in not only Korean Sword but also Taekwondo and mixed martial art. He truly cares about each student and family that come to his school. He offers the flexibility of class options, the values that martial arts instills, and the family community. I would recommend Master Lim's Martial Arts to any and everyone.

KSMA (MLMA) is a wonderful studio. The instructors are friendly and everyone is willing to help each other out. There is a wonderful out-of-class social aspect available - and people can join, or not, as they're comfortable. Master Lim will work 1:1 with people who are overcoming challenges (I started when I plateaued at my physical therapy, following ankle reconstruction), and is so wonderful about accommodating things people can't do. The sword fighting is fun, and the approach to teaching makes it wonderful. Highly recommend it!

Invest now in your child or even in yourself. We are so lucky to have this Korean Sword Martial Arts School in the St Louis metropolitan area near Scott Air-force Base. There is nothing else like it! I joined at the age of 60 and have trained for almost two years now in harmony with 6 year olds, and every age in between. Master Lim is an artist and an inspirational mentor to all. Watching the way he engages each student and gently draws out their own courage and self- confidence is magical. No matter your level, you will fit in and quickly learn why we call it our KSMA Family.
