Piasa Martial Arts 68 East Elm Street, Alton, IL 62002

"Piasa Martial Arts is a fantastic place to learn. Not only is the Dojo an amazing man but all of the instructors and black belts do a great job helping new students learn the basics of karate, giving a lot of individual instruction. On top of that, the instructors are constantly giving inspirational, Bible based talks throughout the lessons. Our 10 year old daughter just started last month and is already showing progress in karate and personal discipline. After her lesson last night, she asked why her teachers at school didn't talk about God like her Dojo does. Amazing! Last night the Dojo was also talking about becoming a black belt, saying it's OK if you don't reach that level, as long as you are progressing and learning about self defense...to which our daughter replied, "I'm going to be a black belt." We love PMA and highly recommend them!"

"I've been a student since I was 7. I'm 25 now. I haven't been in a couple year due to adulthood. But if it wasn't for the discipline I've learned here I would be in jail or worse. The best Martial Arts School"

"by far the best martial arts school around!! youll get way more benefits than martial arts training from this place. my kids have became more respectful, eager to help around the house, and all around a better person since theyve been going there."

"Great group of people. I love this academy. No matter your age or position in life. Piasa has a class that will improve your life. You can tell the instructors care about the arts."

"Excellent school. Great instructors. Plenty of mat space and classes 6 days a week. It's a martial arts to dream."
