I brought my son, then my niece, then my husband, then friends! Can't sing the praises of this academy enough. No tricks, no hidden fees. Nothing but integrity.

Fantastic experience: We’ve had our son enrolled in TKD at World Martial Arts Academy for 9 months now and counting. Not only does he love it but so do we! They are so friendly, hands on, and knowledgeable in what they do. They also have Spring/Summer break camps that are fantastic and really burn off energy littles have an abundance of. If you’re looking for an awesome place for TKD you should definitely check them out!

Fantastic experience: My sons tried the free trial and they loved it! Will start back going once Baseball season had ended. This place really makes you feel like you belong and they care about the students.

Fantastic experience: Hands down by far the best martial arts facility in Missouri. Master D and his leadership team are freaking phenomenal. It shows they have a passion for this artistry, and truly care about the students learning the craft physically and mentally. I could go on and on but you have to go see for yourself!!!!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter started Tae Kwon Do with Master Dickerson earlier this year. Her teacher remarked how calm she has been in class, and I appreciate that she is learning discipline and increasing her exercise level in a fun way. I've also taken the morning kickboxing class, and would recommend to anyone who would like to gain strength and flexibility

Fantastic experience: What not to say about this place? We love it here... my 2 boys attend taekwondo class here and my husband and I have joined the class right along with them.

Fantastic experience: This facility is the best place for my 6 year old strong willed grandson. The instructors are good with the kiddos. They have a gift of redirecting the children with love and respect, but they also have an amazing training program. The only issue I have is getting my kiddo there .

Fantastic experience: This is not just a review but a testimony of how amazing Master Dickerson, Leadership team Ms. Jackie, Mr. Jeff, Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Pearl along with countless others. This organization meets you were you are at and takes you mentally and physically to a place that you have no idea that you can go. Regardless of physical ability or age they will encourage you to challenge yourself. Classes include children young as 3 and even grandparents. You make life long relationships with complete strangers as you progress. They not only invest in the community but they also support the community. Most recently we completed the Glow Run to support suicide awareness. My entire family has joined the WMAAH family and it was the best decision that we made !! Please take the time to visit the facility for yourself and you will never look back !!!

These kids not only Learn respect, self defense, self confidence and focus he’s there for them emotionally and physically when they’re not having a good day! He is very persistent with all the children. This is a no child left out facility! My daughter loves it and I love it as well ! I Highly recommended this facility! He prepares the kid’s mentally for obstacles they will have to overcome in life!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about this place and the amazing instructors. Almost 3 years since we enrolled our daughter here and she is less than 6 months away from getting her BLACK BELT. Not to mention she is part of the amazing leadership team and she loves it. Looking back my daughter was so shy, barely spoke with anyone in class to now where she leads warm up’s and helps kiddos with their techniques, is just mind blowing to me. You won’ regret enrolling your kids here.

Fantastic experience: Great place for all ages! The staff are AWESOME and really good with kids. My son loves going and they are attentive to his needs. So, If your child needs a boost of confidence, extra dose of focus, or place to have fun… give them a try. You won’t be disappointed! Master Dickerson runs a great program as mentioned in a number of reviews. There’s good energy here and they have really been patient, kind, and super nice to my child. All the staff are wonderful but I want to give a special thanks to Ms. Jackie, Ms. Sydney, and Ms. Pearl.

They have a gift of redirecting the children with love and respect, but they also have an amazing training program. The only issue I have is getting my kiddo there ????.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the adult boxing and kickboxing classes here at World Martial Arts. So happy that they offer morning sessions.

I highly recommend his classes and services without hesitation!

Fantastic experience: Signing my children up for Taekwondo at this school and joining in on the fun with them has created some of the most happy and memorable times of my life. The instruction, training and discipline, along with all of the fun and jokes is great for the whole family. One of the best decisions of my life that I've ever made. I am so thankful for Master Dickerson, Instructor Mr. Gabriel, Instructor Ms. Jackie and the list goes on and on. All of them are so great that I wish I could list everyone. Thank you all so much for all that you have given to my family.

Fantastic experience: We have been doing Taekwondo for a month and honestly we love it! Great environment with awesome skill and fun. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: This martial arts program has some of the most amazing instructors! I have seen them work diligently with children with more patience than I have sometimes. This is a place where your kid can be themselves and be gently guided. I am a parent who cares about quality, and WMAA is high quality by far. I am impressed and my son has been sooo confident since starting. I love it!

Fantastic experience: IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL TO BRING YOUR CHILD.MASTER DICKERSON IS SO GREAT WITH THE CHILDREN... MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN THERE AND LOVE IT..

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place! Master D has a real way with all kids. He is kind, honest and firm. He is patient with all the students and he makes every class fun and rewarding. Becoming a member at the gym made our need for a counselor irrelevant. I am glad this is the home we found.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place my son could learn how to protect himself. We found that and so much more at WMAAH. Master Dickerson is very patient, kind and a great instructor. My daughter would go with me to watch my son practice and she liked it so much that she joined as well. They look forward to going to classes every week. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a martial arts school or even just a type of extra curricular activity. They learn so much and enjoy themselves doing it.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love WMAA. We had no idea what we were getting our selves into when we signed up our son, but it has been such a wonderful experience! Master D is what keeps us there. He is so good with the kids. He teaches them while being patient, funny and kind. We absolutely love it here!

Fantastic experience: WMAAH is, by FAR, the best Martial Arts school in the North County area. My daughter has been in M.A. since she was a few months from turning four. She is now seven (& a Red First!!) We started her out at another well known facility in the area. There she earned her green belt. Unfortunately, the facility was not a good "Fit" & the prices were FAR too high for only two 45min classes a week. From there, after pricing every facility in the No.Co. area, we decided on World Martial Arts Academy Hazelwood & started her back at White Belt. After only TWO WEEKS into our Free Month Trial we signed on. I knew WMAAH was a perfect fit for my daughter! She BEGGED to stay! Now, for one monthly payment: she trains, on average, 10 hours a week (sometimes MORE!!) She LOVES that she can take multiple classes per day SIX DAYS A WEEK (I love that all that training is included in the LOW monthly payment!) Master Dickerson is an AMAZING Instructor! He teaches all the Taekwondo classes making sure there is continuity & consistency in the instruction. My daughter also takes Sparring Class as well as Weapons Class! Both are offered at no extra cost. I HIGHLY recommend WMAAH to anyone & everyone interested in Martial Arts! Master Dickerson is the greatest! You will not find a more dedicated instructor anywhere!

Fantastic experience: Very happy to be part of the WMAAH family! Master Dickerson is an excellent trainer. Classes are taught in partial Korean so students gain a better understanding and appreciation of the art. The staff is very professional, but maintain a welcoming family environment.
