FAQ

FAQ: Kids Self-Defense Classes in St. Peters, MO

Everything St. Peters families ask before enrolling

What age can my child start?+
Students can begin at age 5. The Little Dragons program is designed for ages 5–8 with age-appropriate training that builds focus, coordination, confidence, and respect in a structured environment.
What should my child wear to the first class?+
Just comfortable athletic clothes — shorts or sweatpants and a t-shirt. We'll provide a uniform (dobok) once your child officially enrolls. No special footwear needed since we train barefoot.
Can parents watch the class?+
Absolutely. We have a comfortable viewing area. Many parents find it motivating to watch.
Is my shy or hesitant child a good fit?+
Shy children often thrive here more than anyone. Our structured environment with clear expectations actually reduces social anxiety. Instructors are trained to build trust before pushing any boundaries.
Is sparring or contact required?+
No. Sparring is an advanced, optional element for older students who choose it. Beginners — especially children — focus on forms (patterns), techniques, and self-awareness with zero forced contact.
How is KSW STL different from other schools in St. Peters?+
KSW STL teaches Kuk Sool Won, a comprehensive Korean martial art, from a long-standing St. Peters location. The school traces its St. Louis Metro presence to 1992 and has been at the current St. Peters location since 1995.
How often should my child attend class?+
Consistent attendance matters most. Contact the school for current class options and the right weekly rhythm for your age group and goals.
Where exactly are you located?+
1 Sutters Mill Rd Ste E, St. Peters, MO 63376 — minutes from the St. Peters Rec-Plex. Plenty of free parking. Easy access from O'Fallon, Cottleville, and St. Charles.
