Strategic BJJ

"I attend the morning kickboxing classes here and love it. The trainer, Josh, is knowledgeable, supportive, and makes the class fun, all of which is important since I’m a complete newbie. The gym itself is clean, well-lit, and the equipment is in good shape. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to start kickboxing classes or get support for their fitness goals with a group of awesome, like-minded people."

"I've had the pleasure of meeting (and rolling with) both Keith and his wife, Natalie. These are two of the kindest folks I've met in my jiu jitsu journey in St. Louis. I train at another local gym, but we cross train regularly via the TAC Team Women's program. I don't have kids, so I can't speak to their youth program. However, I would bring my hypothetical children here. Anyone can teach jiu jitsu, but it's important to learn leadership skills along the way. I've seen Keith navigate big personalities with the grace of a ballet dancer. (This is a fun visual if you know the man.) I've learned a few leadership skills myself from the man. Check out Strategic Jiu Jitsu. It's clean, female friendly, kid friendly, and an overall great martial arts school!"

"I have been a team member with SBJJ for over a year and I absolutely love my coaches and teammates. Coach Keith and Coach Jon are not only great Coaches but great people. I couldn't ask for a better environment to improve myself. Whether you are a seasoned vet or a beginner you will feel welcomed to the team and will learn a ton on your journey. The systems are comprehensive and people are amazing. Go check Stratigic BJJ!"

"Had our first women's self-defense training today and it was a great experience. The trainer, Keith, showed us basic level fundamentals today. The pace is excellent for beginners. Like Keith said, you can't learn all the techniques in an hour and a half, so we will be continuing the class every other Sunday. This is something I have always wanted to do and now we have an opportunity in the Alton area for women to learn not just self-defense but confidence. I'm so excited to start my journey at Strategic BJJ and look forward to continuing training!"

"If you are looking for a good program for kids, this is it! Coach Keith is amazing in teaching and working with the kids! We have been in this program with Coach Keith for 9 months and I have seen good changes with my son. The skills that he teaches them can be used in every day life, protecting or defending themselves and making them more confident. You will not find a better program or instructor than Strategic BJJ with Coach Keith!!!"
