“Fabulous karate school. The teachers are fair, but have high standards for excellence and behavior. We couldn't be happier here.“

“My son started at the Bartlett location a year ago. The staff is really friendly and encouraging of all the kids. It’s a great atmosphere for them to be a part of. I have recently started the adult program myself. It’s a lot of fun and I recommend checking it out.“

“My 5-year-old daughter has been attending classes here, and I’m genuinely impressed with how well the instructors treat the kids. This is a true family-run school, and you can feel the balance between discipline, kindness, and motivation in every class.

In just the first month, my daughter made strong progress — both in technique and in confidence. The instructors know how to keep kids focused while still making the training enjoyable. They also give out small intermediate awards, which really encourages the children to work harder and stay excited about learning.

The atmosphere here is supportive and positive, and you can see that every child receives attention and guidance. For parents, it’s incredibly reassuring to watch how respectfully and patiently the staff works with the kids.

Parking is easy and never a problem.

I highly recommend this martial arts school for families looking for quality training, structure, and a caring environment.“

“We have been so happy with our experience here. The instructors make sure every child gets assistance and attention. Everyone has been amazing. We are excited to continue our journey here.“

“Sonny is great with the kids. He is fun and has a great teaching style. Mr. Nelson is awesome. Kids listen to him and pay attention. Great place. Very flexible with the classes and accommodating the times /days that work best for parents!“

“I highly recommend Tiger Koo's to anybody who will listen. The amount that my child has learned and the difference in his confidence and behaviors at home in just the last two months of being there is off the charts! Master Maya and Master Joshua run amazing, disciplined and energetic classes for the kids to train and learn. It is such a healthy and balanced environment. My son spent years in another program, and I wish I would have started at Tiger Koo's. Also, my children just enjoyed their birthday party here and it was amazing fun.“

“Joey and Kyle are great instructors, coaches, and are very welcoming. The community is friendly and diverse. The curriculum has thought behind it and is up to date. Easily the nicest facility I’ve been to as well. ????“

“Joining P3 has been one of the best decisions for me and my family. My kids have trained here for three years, and I’ve been training for 1.5 years. The coaches — Axel, Argel, Brian, and Chris — are among the best in the nation, combining high-level instruction with patience and support for both kids and adults (esp this 37 year old with no martial arts background). P3 offers a competitive and family-friendly atmosphere that’s rare. If you want to level up your jiu-jitsu, P3 is the place to be.“

“Barrington Martial Arts is a fantastic place for all ages to train. The friendly staff creates a welcoming atmosphere, and everyone feels like family. The instructors are excellent role models, especially for my kids.“

“This is an absolutely wonderful place for kids and adults to learn confidence and build strength. It's a family-run business with with a great positive personal growth vibe. The values of this martial art include integrity, humility, honesty and commitments, which are embodied by the family who operate this school. I can't recommend it enough“

“Tough to summarize just how good Ms. Sugino and her classes are. I want to avoid clichés and hyperbole, but she truly is a wonderful teacher who is empowering these kids, in body and mind. With dicsipline, she immediately commands respect from the kids, but always in a playful and welcoming environment. The kids just know to listen, but somehow, always have the time of their lives at class.
I as a parent have learned (My first class i was uptight and hovering) so much from the classes, and look forward to the bonding and relationship opportunities they provide for me and my son.
If you are on the fence about trying a class, do it. My only regret is not starting my son earlier than his 5th birthday.

Your kid will obviously learn great martial arts skills, and improve their physical capabilities but the social aspects the camaraderie, the humility and the respect they will learn is what makes this place so special. Thank you Ms Sugino.“

“As Transfer students from another school My family and I who all train in taekwondo are happy to have made Jangs our new home. Grand Master Jang is very patient with our 8yr old daughter and doesn't get frustrated with other kids who we see struggling with discipline. Our adult classes for myself wife and son are set at a great pace for learning. Taekwondo has been a physical lifestyle choice for our family and Jangs style of teaching has been extremely helpful.“

“We have positive experience with CKC and with all the coaches. What we like about the Sensei is that he is gentle and tough when it comes to discipline which was the main reason we put my nephew in Karate. He has earned brown/black belt and working towards his black belt. Thanks to CKC Sensei and other coaches.“

“The place where I started my martial arts journey, and where I learned to count in Korean! I should've been a K pop star instead of a martial artist! More social proof that way and easy money, but I've always chosen the artists route, even martial artist Great basics taught here, and even early on they saw they had a monster on their hands. I'd be breaking boards and doing chores at like 10! Taking out the twash!“

“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.“

“Small spot that gives excellent attention to kids. I have a young daughter who has gained so much focus from attending classes here!“
