“It has been great for my kids. They are learning and developing. Not a lot of fluff. It takes a while to get acclimated to expectations, etc, but don't give up. So far in our 3 months it has totally been worth it.“

“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.“

“We are thrilled with our experience so far! Our kids, 7, girl, and 11, boy, started at WCTKD nearly two months ago, and the instructors have been wonderful - so positive and supportive and fun! Our kids mostly really look forward to going which is a pretty big deal for them. Dad was a black belt in Tae Kwon Do so he’s pretty particular about how it’s taught, and he has been very very happy. I especially love their app and internet presence, since I am not a telephone/paper check person. They are incredibly organized, personable, and the facility seems spotless! We feel so lucky to have found WKTKD. ?“

“Both my sons have been learning Okinawan Shotokan Karate from Sensei Mostafa since 2021. Both of them naturally love martial arts, its discipline, personal growth, and leadership. They earned their black belts in MMA in Wisconsin, and they have seriously put in hard work and focus to earn their black belts under Sensei Mostafa's guidance. They are working towards higher level black belts, but more than that, my kids are learning to be well balanced, good citizens. Karate and martial arts in general can be a spiritual exercise and can teach inner discipline, impulse control, responsibility, good conduct, positivity, grace under pressure, self-respect, and a strong moral core. Sensei Mostafa and his team of senior student instructors inspire all students to follow this path by leading through example. The Sensei is a good person ??“

“What an amazing studio, masters, and family! My son has learned so much and I’m proud to have him enrolled here. If you’re thinking about it, take their free trial class. You won’t be disappointed.“

“One of the best choices we did for our daughter! I can’t you enough how talented all masters are, and what a great culture they demonstrate. If you’ve never been here, take a trial class, I’m sure you or your child will love it! My daughter gained so much confidence since she started going to this studio. We tried other places and they are not nearly as good as Ko’s Yong In. We highly recommend this school! They now opened in West Chicago location as well“

“We just had our first session with Master J and he absolutely exudes kindness, respect, patience, and peace. He is the perfect mix of playful and holding boundaries for my very energetic 5 year old daughter. What a gem of a teacher (and person) he is!“

“If I could give BBX a million stars I could- I cannot possibly list all of the wonderful things about this place. Taking taekwondo has built so much confidence in my kids. They love coming here, and that is all attributed to Master Kim, who has created a positive environment that is both respectful and fun. He runs a tight ship and is strict, but is also so so kind and compassionate. You can tell that he loves what he does and his students. He's an incredibly positive role model and the children adore and respect him. The classes are a balance between serious work and training, and also some fun games. My kids have made so many friends- it's been a great experience. BBX is a hidden gem.“
