“I love this place! It has amazing instructors. They are all Nice and funny. They get the moves into our heads. Make sure we are disciplined. One day is review. The other is learned. This place is the best for martial arts“
“My 7 year old son has been going to Total Impact for several months and loves it! All of the instructors are patient and understanding, yet require the students to be focused so they are able to learn. We would definitely recommend Total Impact to anyone interested in starting martial arts!“

“We’re new to Chang’s TKD and from day one we started we felt so welcomed instantly! My son has already learned so much in the short time we have been here so happy to have joined the Chang’s family Roger and Michelle are the best! If you’re looking for a TKD family this is the place!!!“
“Absolutely delighted with MBD! Sensei Michelle and her team are exceptional – their teaching is thorough, and the positive impact on my kids is already evident. The excitement they show for each class is heartening, and I'm even contemplating joining myself. Kudos to Sensei Michelle and the team for creating such a welcoming and impactful martial arts experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“Excellent confidence building, home discipline and focus building program for kids. My son was super shy at first and now looks forward to going to class with the amazing Senseis who work so hard and diligently with the little dragons and other groups to help our kids grow and become confident little ones. The time and investment will truly pay off and help your child become his/her best. Highly recommend.“
“My 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter have been attending U.S. Martial Arts Academy for over a year. They enjoy the challenge and have thrived. Their Taekwondo skills have developed but there are several attributes they have acquired that we were not expecting. Their self-esteem, confidence, mood, and levels of determination have noticeably grown.“
“It's been a year now and my son is a purple belt. He is enjoying it very much. The instructors are awesome and really care about the kids. I would recommend Des Plaines Martial Arts to all. :)“
“JP Wood Martial Arts is a fantastic place for both kids and adults who want to learn Teakwondo. Both Mr and Mrs Wood are great with the kids and love to joke around, but keep professional. They also teach discipline, integrity and focus. No one wants anyone to fail and the other students jump in the help when needed. We have told many friends/people about them and have made new friends as well. My boys have been here for over a year now and love coming. Higher belts/older age get to use sparring equipment which is a great time to watch. I highly recommend this place for anyone.“

“This is a great place to train, the coaches are really helpful and full of knowledge regarding the art. They really get into detail on how to set up and finish moves and safety is big priority. I would definitely recommend this place!“
“Great gym, great training partners and competent owner. Everyone is humble despite level of expertise . As long as you check your ego at the door, this is a great place to learn, grow and develop. What I love vs most MMA gyms, Top Notch has a Full gym that can be utilized (workout equipment-bench, dumbbells, squat rack, TRX, ETC) to compliment the full MMA layout. Which consist of wrestling mats, grappling dummies, punch bags, accompanied by a caged octagon. All a apart of the gym membership. Give it a try risk free prior to spending any $.I live in Lyons IL, its worth the travel for me. Great programs for kids as well.“

“Best ways to show you how to protect yourself! Masters are really nice and kind and you could not ask for a better one. 10/10“
“I was very skeptical about signing up my oldest for TKD because I was worried about how he would listen. This has been, by far, the best investment for him. The masters are engaging, passionate, and attentive to all the needs of the children. I'm so happy we found DKF. Master Adam and Master Sporanza are truly the best! At 4.5 years old I can already notice a huge difference in my sons behaviors and mannerisms at home.“
“I cannot say enough amazing things about this dojo. Sensei Veronica is AMAZING with kids! They have a variety of classes from young kids to adults. She is flexible with scheduling and has a ton of fun add on clinics, classes, celebrations to keep it interesting! I am forever grateful that such a gem is right in my neighborhood!“

Master Rusev has also trained and served in the Bulgarian Army to further his skillset.In addition to his accomplishments as a Martial Artist, Master Rusev is an accomplished Coach and Headmaster. Revolution Taekwondo has produced some of the finest Martial Artists, including several USA National Team Members, World Champions, and Pan American Champions.Master Rusev personally trains and oversees the instruction of his students; personally invested in each individuals goals and achievement both in and out of school.

“It's not Gracie Barra, it's Tiki Terrace now. My family and I shared a wonderful time together to celebrate 2 birthdays. We saw several Hawaiian dances and heard a little of Hawai'I 's history and traditions. Because there were several people celebrating their birthday's, 2 people where brought up on stage to dance. It seemed as though the whole restaurant was one big party. My family certainly enjoyed the experience. The food was okay, shredded pork, salmon and breaded chicken were served with white rice and a macaroni noodle salad.“
“Firstly, if Ma'am or Sir end up reading this, I have to say that I'm sorry I didn't share a reason for my sudden departure from lessons. I had been stewing on it for a while, as High School drew closer and closer to beginning, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to focus on both. That conflict of interests ultimately made me enjoy these lessons less and less, as I was naively afraid to directly voice my concerns, and ended up saying nothing like the young and dumb teenager I was. I probably should have written this review much earlierSecondly. Having spent so much time here, I can safely say that it is one of the most welcoming, honest, and family-like groups I've ever been a part of. Practicing, training, sparring, and learning together always felt wonderful thanks to how much each of us got to bond with one another, form friendships, etc. Not only is this an excellent place to learn Tae-Kwon-Do, it is an excellent place to meet people you genuinely enjoy engaging and interacting with, especially Sir and Ma'am, who are the best instructors a student could ask for.I apologize that it has taken so long for me to say much of anything after my departure, there is no excuse for that, and even less for not sharing the reason for it prior to doing so. I cannot apologize enough for that, truly, I cannot- E. Rodriguez“

“I am very lucky to have become Master Shim's Student. I am mentally,, and physically more healthy now since I have been doing Tae Kwon Do under Master Shim.“
“The best. Both my sons, Tristan and Colin, earned their black belts here with the excellent training.“
“Chang's Taekwondo is a great school. My son not only has been progressing in taekwondo, but has also gained a lot of social and emotional life skills, confidence, as well as personal responsibility. They have a great program of combining physical activity/games, taekwondo and life skills; and I have enjoyed watching my son's growth, both physically and mentally. Most importantly, he loves going to classes here and even insisted we sign him up for summer camp!“

“Several years ago in my mid 40s, wanting to start something new, I was looking for a jazz piano lesson, but somehow ended up joining U.S. Matsumoto Shidokan Karate instead. All my family and friends were stunned because I was the least likely person to do exercise or play sports, let alone martial arts. I did not know (and still do not know) what made me change my mind. That irrational decision I made, however, has turned out the best thing I’ve ever done to myself.Training is so intense at our “dojo,” which means a martial art school in Japanese, I always try to find an excuse not to attend the class up until making the last turn into the parking lot there. One hour later after the class, I feel great, invigorated mentally and physically. The positive effect on my mind and body is just unbelievable!Now in my mid 50s, I would like to use my precious time on learning from and getting inspired by something/someone top-notch and essential as much as possible. Shihan (Master) Matsumoto is a first-rate karate master who not only teaches us martial art techniques (of course, his focus in the class is improving each student’s technique and he knows exactly how) but also inspires us to be a better person without saying too much. Shihan Matsumoto, his wife Sensei (Instructor) Etsuko, a great teacher herself who encourages us to be positive all the time, and my fellow students at Matsumoto Shidokan are the people dear to my heart besides my family.Since the beginning of this COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Matsumoto Shidokan Karate has been providing on-line classes to its students. I really appreciate that and hope to go back to the dojo as soon as the virus is no longer a serious risk. I promise I won’t try to find an excuse not to go anymore!“

“I was a practitioner for about 15 years until the age of 18 and had to leave for college. I worked up to my second degree black belt and it took 15 years, so you can assume this school believes in the philosophies a martial arts school should: discipline, hard work and perseverance. I am currently 21 years old and I owe Hapkido my life as it taught me self discipline at such a young age and led me to carry those same philosophies throughout high school up into the present. I love Hapkido because of the culture this school produces. The culture of confidence, not arrogance. The culture of movement and life, not stillness. The culture of love, not hate. Grand Master Chang and Master Austria have given me life beyond my years. I highly recommend this school to anyone who cares about caring for themselves or their family. It focuses on self defense techniques that could literally save your life someday. This school is a place where kids can grow up and become leaders rather than followers. It is a place where you push yourself to be a better you. I can't stress how greatly appreciative I am of this wonderful school and all the amazing mentors I had. Do yourself a favor and sign up as soon as possible!“

“Great place for training some real things.Professional trainers and nice people to train with!“
“Highly recommended! We've been at CKC for over 4 years and have had a tremendous experience. The head instructor / Sensei is extremely skilled, patient, and presents a positive attitude and learning environment. The coaching staff, lead by Mohammad, focus on character building, teamwork and sportsmanship. Again, I highly recommend (for children and adults).“
“We were so happy they opened close to my home. The staffs are so friendly and accommodating. The gym is packed with complete workout equipment that motivates me to focus on my goal. They have machines, treadmills, punch bags, functional rooms. The individual bathrooms are so clean. They even provide towels. Awesome gym to work out.“
“I took the women's-only BJJ classes here, and they were fantastic. The instructors are incredibly kind and patient (I was a SUPER beginner) and accommodated my kids as audience members so I could join in as a single mom, the members are welcoming and supportive, and it's just a very friendly and safe environment. I would definitely recommend taking classes here!“

“My daughter has been coming here for almost a year. She loves it and we love it as well! From the first conversation I had with Sensei Pat I knew that she was not only an amazing Sensei but an amazing person. My daughter has learned a lot and she is always eager to come to the dojo. I am so happy I found American Tiger Karate Academy.“
