“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!“
“Master Jang is amazing! He’s so good with my two little ones, ages 4 and 6. My youngest was shy and hesitant at first, now she’s probably one of the loudest ones. It is a welcoming environment and he makes learning fun. They enjoy taekwondo so much, I hope they stick with it for a long time. We go twice a week and I’m sure the kids would want to go more often if I had enough time to take them. Love the family reminder to listen to and respect your parents.I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enroll their kiddos in taekwondo. I actually do try to get my kid’s classmates to join too. :)“
“These guys are awesome! Morning class is perfect for me. Their kids classes are fun and engaging.“
“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.“
“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.“

“Ms. Sugino really has an amazing place. We have taken her ninja class and hosted a birthday party there. She is great with the kids teaching honor and respect while having fun! Highly recommend“
“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.“
“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!“
“National Karate has been a part of our family for many years. The amount of confidence this school has instilled in not only myself, but most importantly my children has been invaluable. I’ll forever be grateful for the lessons I’ve learned and the skills I’ve obtained.“
“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.“

“Great place for training some real things.Professional trainers and nice people to train with!“
“Ko's has become such an important part of our family. I participate along with our two children. My journey began at 40 years old and I've felt nothing but encouragement and support from everyone from the beginning.It's also such a positive, engaging place for the kids as well!“
“Great place to learn Tae Kwon Do! Well kept, well run. They really care about their students.“
“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.“

“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!“

“Went to the Naperville location for years in the early 90s. Best learning environment you would wish for. No macho BS or egos here. Master Change still moves like lightning since I saw him back in 1991. I wish I could still and I almost half his age. He teaches peaceful approaches but he will give you the tools you will never forget. Unlike most places his technique is the best through repetition. So if you defend against a punch over and over again...... you simply react without hesitation and look down and think. That was cool lol. Even all these years later I still remember most of what I learned. If you want your child to learn how to control their emotions and master themselves. There is no one better than Master Chang and my former teacher Mr. John Considine. This is more expensive than most schools but well worth it in my opinion.“

“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!“
“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.“
“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).“
“I am all for supporting small business , this one gets 5 stars. My kid has been going here for few years and love his Instructor who is phenomenal with young kids.“
“My son have been attending Chang Brothers for almost 5 years. Our main goal was to teach him self defense as well as discipline and self confidence. Master Chang is an amazing teacher and a person. He is a huge role model for your kid who teaches them not only physical endurance but also how to be a better person for yourself and others. My son’s behaviour improved tremendously since he started his journey to the point he has been receiving many school rewards for being respectful and helpfull for orhers.Highly reccomended !“
“Our kids have been taking taekwondo classes here for many years. We can see the progression and positive impact of taekwondo lessons from year to year. It helps their self discipline, persistence and confidence. Master Lee genuinely cares about the kids and we appreciate that very much. They always have fun during Taekwondo lessons.“

“We love National Karate. Our 5 year old has learned so much in such a short time. All the instructors are amazing and great with the kids. They are very organized and communicate well with the parents regarding all updates and upcoming events.“
