Awesome place to workout
by karategirl
This is the best place to work out and learn karate. I go there 3 times a week and I'm in shape and I feel great. I used to be scared to go places alone, but now I know a lot of self-defense techniques and I am not afraid to go anywhere. It's great for women and kids.
- Pros: There are women in the class and a female instructor
- Cons: Sometimes you leave a little sore

Best place to learn traditional karate
by rancor7
Okinawan Karate-Do Academy (OKDA) is the best place to learn traditional karate in St. Louis. The cirriculum is well-rounded and includes classes in self-defense, forms, point sparring, and weapons. A lot of schools I've visited don't give instruction in all of these areas. The forms and weapons practiced at this dojo have been handed down from the originators of the karate in Okinawa. Here you can practice karate the way it was intended. There are lots of instructors, daytime and evening classes, and lots of good students in the class. The instructors are friendly and knowlegeable. Give them a call or stop by if you're interested in classes. You can also visit the website: www.okdaonline dot com
- Pros: Great way to get in shape, learn self-defense, good group of students and intstructors
- Cons: Costs money, but safey and confidence are invaluable
