“We’re new to Chang’s TKD and from day one we started we felt so welcomed instantly! My son has already learned so much in the short time we have been here so happy to have joined the Chang’s family Roger and Michelle are the best! If you’re looking for a TKD family this is the place!!!“
“Great environment to train no matter the experience or skill ...Leon and team tailor their training/coaching style to the individual!“
“My kids love learning at this dojo! Sensei Pedro is amazing with the kids and has great patience when teaching them.Highly recommend!“
“Best ways to show you how to protect yourself! Masters are really nice and kind and you could not ask for a better one. 10/10“
“CFC is legendary. All of their trainers are incredible. The owner, Eddie Y., is a modern day folk hero. CFC is the absolute best.“
“I recently attended the three hour self-defence course as a team outing with our group of pediatric therapists who are out in the community often. This was an incredible team building opportunity! The team also learned numerous strategies to deescalate a situation and keep ourselves safe. Aileeen and Marti were a superb blend of serious, thoughtful and lighthearted. The time went by extremely quickly. I am thankful to have walked away with more tools in my pocket to be alert and safe. I think this will be an annual team outing. Highly recommended!“
“I am very lucky to have become Master Shim's Student. I am mentally,, and physically more healthy now since I have been doing Tae Kwon Do under Master Shim.“
“At the moment I like the way that teacher Pedro Cardenas teaches, it seems that he is a psychologically and physically prepared person, he has a lot of respect for his students, now the lady who is in charge of collecting and I don't know what else lacks a lot of knowledge so re education of human relations, she does not have a professional way of telling you things, they do not explain anything to you and all the time she is the one who is right, it is good that she is not a teacher otherwise she would have already taken my daughter out of here.“

“Never imagined how much my child would benefit from joining. It's given her a level of fitness (strength, endurance, flexibility), confidence, and discipline that I didn't even know she needed! Master Ray and Amanda are so kind and encouraging. The other students and parents are also so wonderful. We are so thankful to be a part of the AKYI family.“
“Love this place! Could not be happier. My daughter loves it. The staff is AMAZING!!! I love the way they teach the students. Such a positive outcome from attending my daughter here. She looks forward to learning. GREAT OWNER! HIGHLY recommend this place! Thank you to all who work here!“
“Wonderful people, beautiful space, and a great community. So welcoming to beginners. I have been training here for a few years now and I love it, it's a great workout and you learn so much about yourself in every class. Try it out!“

“I have been practicing Kungfu at the temple since Jan 2019. I am coming up on 3 years. I still love it and continue to grow. Since then, I have lost 60Lbs and cured type II diabetes and eliminated high cholesterol. This was my intended goal and Sifu and Tom were instrumental in helping me reach my goals.But the Temple of Kungfu is more than that. It's about personal growth, being your best self, mentally, spiritually and physically. Your Kungfu travels with you. The Taoist lessons learned apply to everyday life. I am equipped with an array of skills and tools that I apply daily. It's about learning who you are, what you can achieve and constantly setting new goals for yourself. The Temple is about growing into the best version of yourself.After spending years in the health club, I can honestly say, I can never go back. I learn at the Temple and practice daily at home. Sifu has given me an arsenal of knowledge and techniques to work on. Depending on what I feel I need to work on I practice; Qigong forms, Tai Chi, Splashing Hands, Hsing-I and meditation, Shih Shui. In the near future, I will look forward to learning some Bagua as well as more advanced techniques. All-the-while healing the mind, body and spirit.If you are serious about your health and want the tools to mitigate stress and be a happier person then I highly recommend Kungfu and the Temple.“

“Best dojo in Illinois! Kids learn more in 1 hour than they do in a year somewhere else!“
“Chang's Taekwondo is a great school. My son not only has been progressing in taekwondo, but has also gained a lot of social and emotional life skills, confidence, as well as personal responsibility. They have a great program of combining physical activity/games, taekwondo and life skills; and I have enjoyed watching my son's growth, both physically and mentally. Most importantly, he loves going to classes here and even insisted we sign him up for summer camp!“
“Honestly I recommend this place for anyone. My little guy is part of family since kindergarten , yes it’s part of family because you feel how others care for you here!!! The sensei Marek is very kind, genuine and shows how much jiu jitsu can positively impact a person if they simply decide to step on the mats. Try a class, you won't regret it and it just might change your life for the better.“
“The teachers and students involved in this martial arts studio are top notch: supportive, disciplined, engaged. Everyone feels welcomed. It has helped my kid to become self confident, organized and motivated. Can’t recommend enough!“
“We've been coming to this dojo for several years. My 10 yr old daughter is now a blue belt. My son was doing the peewee program. Many parents practice alongside their kids. It's a great environment for kids to grow up in. It's very impressive watching the black belts do their katas in unison. We've been very happy with the teachers and the program. The owner/sensei is very friendly and welcoming. No complaints!“
“Fantastic atmosphere and quality instruction. Facility is clean and well maintained. Great experiences here!“
“My grandsons 8&11 have been students at Championship Martial Arts for six months. I am impressed first of all with the care and concern that they show for the kids. They truly love what they do at the studio. Secondly, the instruction seems to be top-notch. The kids are learning quickly, are engaged, and really enjoyed the time there.“
“Sensei Weiss is so nice, funny as hell, and a great instructor to our two daughters. We like the classes and our kids are learning about themselves and what they are capable of. Thank you Sensei!“
“Excellent class & kind Master.. Happy to see the little one growing up with martial arts in this school..“
“Traditional, certified Taekwondo instruction from/overseen by Kukkiwon-certified masters, high-level practitioners, and instructors.I've been training with Master Ong on and off for about 15 years (at the time of this review) starting as a young teen and he's the best. Master Ong and his Taekwondo programs gave me tremendous fitness and discipline which I still apply to my adult life as much as possible.“

“Great people. Great training. Tough training (which is how I like it). Shihan is a very qualified instructor, and when Shihan isn't teaching, the Sensei he has is just as capable. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that this isn't the most accessible dojo. The schedule for adults (when I went) was limited to three days a week and it ended rather late at night past 10:00 PM. It was hard to catch a bus back to the EL. Be prepared to pay cash only, but well worth it for the instruction you get. Very friendly atmosphere. To dojo jest bardzo polskie. Polacy są tu bardzo mile widziani.“
“I've followed his YouTube for about 4 years since I was 12. Now 16, I stumbled upon his latest video showcasing his students' enjoyment in learning kung fu. Highly recommend Freddie's kung fu school for kids to have fun while learning self-defense. It's a great experience that I've always wanted to try.“

“Our son has been with Agbon for over a year, and it continues to be a great experience. Masters Mary Ann and Fernando are thoughtful and considerate leaders of the studio/dojang, and we appreciate that he is under their care. We recently had his 7th birthday party at Agbon, and it was above and beyond in terms of thoughtfulness, with lovely decorations, and engaging Taekwondo skills, games, board breaking, and mesmerizing (and careful) sword cake cutting!“
