MIREU MARTIAL ARTS
Pronounced "Meet - Her"
[said quickly and confidently]
MIREU 미르 (Korean Dragon ‘ìš©/룡 (미르) – Yong/Ryong, In pure Korean, known as ‘Mireu’)
​
Dragons in Korean mythology are mostly viewed as benevolent beings related to water and agriculture. Ancient texts sometimes mention sentient speaking dragons, capable of understanding complex emotions such as devotion, kindness, and gratitude.
Living in our agricultural state of Iowa we wanted our school to have strong values that welcomed everyone.
We have cultivated a community that develops unity amongst our students and others. It shows our devotion to teaching the art and radiates kindness and gratitude, which is why our name is so befitting.

Mireu Martial Arts is welcoming to all. We strive to ensure there will be no differences in the treatment of persons because of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The practice of martial arts means respecting each other, encouraging and supporting each other, and celebrating each others’ successes.
While our professional martial arts instructors are experts at teaching the physical elements of our sport, they’re also committed to developing the whole-person's potential of each student and instilling that same commitment among all our students.
