Martial Arts Schools near Algonquin

“I just had a WONDERFUL experience with my kids who were trying a class here today. The instructors are extremely kid-friendly with their instructions, without losing the authority needed in an instructor. I could also tell that the instructors had been in TKD for a long time as in saw their proficiency while performing demos, and knowing how to coach the children to perform well. The class had 4 instructors, 3 of whom were at least 4th degree Masters, and that doesn't include the owner who is an 8th degree grand master. I enjoyed watching, and my kids LOVED it. I would recommend trying this school out if your children need Tae Kwon Do in their lives. Great exercise, self esteem, confidence, discipline, and an overall positive influence from the school.“

“Chuck and the rest of the team make beginners feel very welcome. Clean environment, good turnout at the classes, and Chuck makes the instruction very digestible no matter what level of experience you have. Would highly recommend for anyone on the fence about joining a martial arts gym.“

“My 7yr old son is an only child. He was often bullied, not knowing how to respond, having very little conflict in his life.

Lee’s Martial Arts has given him the confidence he needs in order to face life’s problems head on. He now approaches problems with the skills necessary to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Grand Master Lee cares about his students and their parents. He, along with Master Ken, are pillars of this community.

Parents: sign your kids up for this school as soon as possible. They are excellent examples of the idea that “ It takes a village.”“

We’ve had a really positive experience.”“

“Update: I wrote my review prior to reading the other reviews. I have to say that I am shocked by the couple of negative reviews regarding FOCUS and NISRA. (And no-we are not getting a kickback for a favorable review-that is ridiculous.) We were on a waitlist through NISRA for a while before a spot opened up for our son. We were bummed, but understood that both entities needed to ensure that it was properly staffed for the number of participants. We attend each week with our son, and as stated below, could not be happier with the inclusive mindset of FOCUS. I also want to note that the NISRA volunteers work hard to get everyone to participate. We have never seen anyone left out. They are well staffed and highly qualified. Participants all work at their own level, but if a child is not participating, it is not for lack of trying on either end. Not all kids enjoy all activities and perhaps the child did not want to participate. We have recently moved to this area and could not be more pleased with the organization, cooperation and communication from NISRA. Everyone is human and mistakes can happen, but both organizations would likely be very happy to hear concerns in a constructive way. If you are considering NISRA or FOCUS, I highly recommend!

We have a son with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome who takes karate at Focus Martial Arts through NISRA. We cannot say enough about this amazing program. The owners and the instructors are among the most inclusive and welcoming people I have ever met. They genuinely care about kids and their progress. They break down concepts and skills so that our son understands, but they have high expectations for his growth. Our son has made improvements in karate, behavior, focus and school because of their leadership. We are so grateful and highly recommend!“

“Perfect for people who want to train affordably, long term. This is an honest dojo that doesn't want you to drop hundreds of dollars for mediocre training, and the people are some of the nicest you'll ever see. Don't get discouraged by the location because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone wanting to get into martial arts.“

“Eazy to get there and out Parking lot and ground level for getting in and out of place“

“These guys are doing what no one else is doing. Amazing and practical real life technique to take an attacker out quickly“
