Martial Arts Schools in Peoria

“We recently had our daughter’s birthday party here, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. They made the entire process so easy and took so much stress off of us as parents. The staff was organized, helpful, energetic, and amazing with the kids.

What stood out most to us is how much they genuinely care about the kids, and that’s obvious not only in the parties they host, but in their classes as well. They create such a positive, encouraging environment where kids feel welcome, supported, and confident. They do an amazing job making every child feel included while still keeping the atmosphere fun and exciting.

The party itself was SO much fun. The kids stayed active and engaged the whole time, and you could tell they were genuinely having a blast. Everything flowed really smoothly, and it ended up being an incredible value for everything that was included.

If you’re looking for a birthday party option that’s fun for kids and low-stress for parents, I would absolutely recommend them. We’re so glad we chose to celebrate here!“

“This is gym is amazing! I'm three years into this and it has helped me improve in all aspects of life. The coaches are amazing and extremely knowledgeable. The people here truly make you feel like family, and we are always striving to make each other better.“

“We love this place! Our Sedona is almost black belt at 8 years old, and it’s not the color, it’s the discipline, focus, respect, goals and responsibilities she is learning. Master Elliot and Master Paul are quality , amazing, and they care to help! Thank you!“

“Former student of Tae Kwon Do under Master Choi. He is very thorough with his training and disciplines his students.

Under choi I was a a 1st degree black belt and the dojo was off of 83rd Ave and union hills since then he has moved to a bigger location down the street.“

“Great instructors - Sensei Atkinson and Sensei Gunn are both knowledgeable and fun, engaged their students very well. Mrs Gunn who handle registration/reception is fantastic, kind and nice, super helpful, and the charges and purchased items are always clearly listed and arrive on time as promised.
They utilize an app called Sparks, which is easy to use, show the schedule and ongoing events as well as your kids progress. Unlike some other dojo we have been, this one does belt testing according to your ability and punctuality. They truly care for your kids, and since my daughter joined the dojo, she is more focus and follow directions better.

They have coaches who are students there with higher belts, and they are very good, very enthusiastic and patience with kids as well, very well organized place!
Highly recommend this dojo!“

“If you're looking for real Kyokushin, this is the place! Hanshi Fred Buck preserves the true spirit of Kyokushin with disciplined, authentic training and high standards. Highly recommended for anyone serious about learning real karate.“

“I trained for 3 1/2 years under Master Tim and Jon. They create an amazing family like atmosphere and are the best teachers I know. I started when I was just 9 years old in 2009. I’m 21 now and to this day going to this school was the most valuable experience of my life. I was taught from a young age discipline and how to overcome fear along with knowledge of the beautiful art form that is Hwa Rang Do. They have full contact sparring so you know that what you learn here is the real deal. It’s been an absolute privilege and honor being their student. It’s been almost 10 years since my last day and I still think about my experiences there quite often. If you want to learn Martial Arts, HWA RANG DO is a hidden gem.“
