Martial Arts Schools near Machesney Park

“NICC is one of the best gyms I've been to. I've been attending this gym for almost a year now. This is the fourth gym I've been to since I've started training in late 2019. It's hard finding a gym that checks all of the boxes for what I am looking for and NICC checks them all. At NICC there's friendly people, a welcoming atmosphere, class variety, and the coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful. The classes can be challenging and technical, but I like to push myself both physically and mentally. It's exactly what I want. I'm either learning something new, or working on strengthening other goals I have in the classes I partake in. If you're looking to compete, get in shape, improve yourself, or to simply try something new I would highly recommend NICC!“

“Right on the strip of state, a little hidden treasure with great teachers.
Master An is very patient and only wants what the child does as well, making sure they know what they are getting into and enjoy taekwondo.
They are able to up their belts, do competitions.“

“Star Studio Martial Arts is fantastic! Master Ben is an outstanding instructor who truly cares about his students. He brings passion, patience, and professionalism to every class. The program is well-run, welcoming, and builds both skill and confidence. Highly recommend Star Studio to anyone looking for quality martial arts training!“

“I’ve been there every since I was in kindergarten and I’m now in third grade and all through my career all the instructors have been kind and taught all of us of the basics and then taught us more as we grew-Donnie (recommended)“

“I’ve been going to RNNU for about a year and I’m could not be more satisfied. Coach Woody has a lifelong training career and also black belt in multiple disciplines. It’s a gem in the entire northern IL/ southern WI area. A very straight forward monthly membership and no mumbo-jumbo like some other places. Great training and great students in all ages!“
