Amazing gym run by an equally amazing owner. Kyle Watson has really set up an incredible atmosphere for both new and experienced members. Each trainer and coach that I've had the pleasure of interacting with or learning from goes the extra mile to ensure that we grasp the concepts and improve every day. One gesture that speaks volumes as to the kind of person Kyle embodies, is the fact that he greets you personally by name whenever he sees you. This is despite the fact that there are literally hundreds of members. This small gesture exemplifies the giant fact that Kyle truly cares about each and every single person at the gym. I am truly grateful to have found Watson Martial Arts, and I highly recommend anyone who is even on the fence about attending to give it a shot and fall in love.

This is a great gym. Very nice front desk staff, Kyle was extremely welcoming, as well as the other students. Starting Jiu Jitsu or visiting a new gym can be very intimidating but this gym makes you feel right at home. Great workout, high level instruction, very friendly atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back 🤘

I was in St. Louis, Missouri for three weeks on a work trip and had the opportunity to train at Watson’s Martial Arts Jiu-Jitsu during that time. Kyle Watson, the owner, was incredibly welcoming and generous, allowing me to train for free for the entire three weeks. Kyle runs a great gym and clearly cares about both the quality of instruction and the culture he’s built. The environment was friendly, respectful, and professional, and I felt comfortable training there from day one. Even coming from a different academy—I'm currently training under Marcello Montero BJJ—I was treated with nothing but respect and hospitality.

Best jiu jitsu gym in St Louis! Great gym with a great professor! Professor Kyle and his students were very welcoming and great training partners. Learned a lot in the advanced class that I attended, look forward to stopping again in the future.

Came through town for a visit and was looking for a place to get some BJJ roles in and was recommended Watson from another gym. I connected with Kyle the owner and was immediately impressed with how welcoming and hospitable he treated me and my friends who came along. Made it to a couple classes and had a great time. Shout out to Nick one of the coaches who did a great job teaching. Racheal at the desk was also very helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended Watson Martial Arts for anyone looking for a good place to train with good people around.
