Griffin Sturdevant
"Midwest martial arts is a top tier gym with a great culture and full of good people. Everyone is very welcoming, the Jiu Jitsu and Muy Thai are legit, and the main instructor is a really good dude. If you are new to martial arts or just passing through, definitely stop in for a roll"

"I stopped in to the gym while visiting family in South Dakota and was pleasantly surprised! The head instructor is a very down to earth individual with a wealth of knowledge. The gym itself is very clean and the community is very friendly and welcoming. I will gladly return to this location in the future."
Angela Ellingson
"“They’re really good at explaining how to do all of the moves and take downs. It’s also really fun to be there. It’s a nice atmosphere.” -David, age 12"

"Had a really great time and really apprecithe way they train. Finally got to visit this place a couple weeks ago. Been so long since I've trained at a place that teaches real Muay Thai. We're lucky to at least have one in South Dakota."
