Both girls show great improvement in their skills and always look forward to their classes. TDK provides a positive environment where they grow, learn, and thrive. Highly recommend!“

“I've been attending classes through KH Kim at my location park district and at the main school in Northbrook since 2022, and I love it! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and it's a fun learning environment for kids and adults of all ages and fitness levels.“

“My daughter and I both enjoy coming here for self defense classes. They are very welcoming, they teach you very practical self defense maneuvers/tips, they’re involved in the community, offer free classes, birthday parties, scout events and more. It’s family run and they have their heart and soul in their work. Highly recommend checking out.“

“We’ve had our son here since the day he turned 3, and he still gets excited every single time we go, which probably says more than anything else I could write.
All of the instructors strike a really impressive balance: they’re patient with the kids, push them to work hard, and still make sure they’re having fun. They know how to get the best out of each child while building confidence instead of pressure. Over time we’ve seen our son become noticeably more confident and disciplined, and he’s even learned ways to center and refocus himself that we now use at home.
What we also appreciate is that it feels like more than just a place to train. They put effort into creating a community- hosting events and parties and making families feel welcome, not just enrolled.
We’re honestly grateful for how they’ve treated our family, and we’re confident this experience will have a long-term positive impact on our son. We’d recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.“

“I love the skills drills at CPAC and Randee is an incredible instructor. She’s patient, personable and encouraging and works with each of us at our skill level. She focuses on and teaches skills both individually and as a group and is excellent at breaking down the fundamentals.“

“We are very grateful to have found this place. Our daughter is going here for almost 2 years and we are very happy with the results and the way the teacher interacts with her and the rest of the students. Highly recommend it!“

“Best place for growing community friendship. Master Lee is the best! My son got better attention, speed and positive vibes! And summer camp is great too, they had fishing, golf, swimming pool and other activities! The best part is that all instructors are so friendly and tolerant to kid’s messy behavior. BEST BEST BEST“

“Our family has been with AKYI for almost 5 years. I am also a student and my son is in AKYI competition team. We feel very comfortable with Master Ray and Miss Amanda. They respect our decisions and never push us to do things we are not sure about. Highly recommend!“

“Best dojo in Illinois! Kids learn more in 1 hour than they do in a year somewhere else!“

“My son has been attending classes for two years and has had a very positive experience. Both masters are great with kids. We recently had our son's 6th birthday here and it was wonderful. Very organized, and everyone had a great time. We can't say enough good things about AMA!“

“I am proud to be supporting a small family local business that has been in the area for a long time.One of the many things I loved about this Shims Martial Arts is that they offered lots of flexibility on the kids ever-changing schedules. and also offer families and adult classes later in the day..Master Cy and Grand Master Shim treats everyone like family as you enter the Dojang.. and teaches my children the discipline and respect through the art of Taekwondo..“
