Martial Arts Schools near Barrington

“My son had been having problems with being physically bulliedin school (He was in the 4th grade at the time), and told me that he felt weak; an easy target. After searching around for a solution we decided to have a look at Tiger Academy. Master Garrison is a fantastic, patient, but firm instructor, and his teachings have had a profound effect on my son. The physical bullying is not an issue anymore, his confidence, and coordination have advanced quickly, and he has embraced setting an example for younger/lower rank students. It's been a joy for me personally watching him grow in such a positive way. Anyone going through something similar, to us and are looking for answer I highly recommend Master Garrison, and Tiger Academy.“

“My son Lucas(5 yrs) started attending LZFMA in January and I cannot say enough good things about this place. First-the staff are amazing! So friendly, timely in their responses, the kids love them! You can tell they’re definitely all in the right profession. Second-their facility is organized and clean. They take all the necessary precautions to keep the kids safe and it is obvious they are the top priority. And finally, they made my son feel special. He is very shy by nature and they’ve definitely gotten him to open up and really get a lot out of his classes. All in-if you are looking for an amazing, family-oriented, well-run business for your kid to take some classes, LZFMA is the place to be!PS-their prices include unlimited classes each month. So it’s up to you to get the most out of it!“

“We are new to the Cary / Crystal Lake area and were looking for a place to plug our kids in with others. Lee's Academy has been such a great confidence booster for our 10 year old son and so enjoyable that our 13 year old daughter has now joined. Who knows over time other family members might Jump in. This family owned business has been making a positive impact in the area for 30+ years. Check it out!“

Everyday is something new! Tiger Koo's is also a good place for your child to learn discipline! Thank you Tiger Koo's!“

“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 instruction, skilled instructors, supportive atmosphere. Highly recommended!"“

“Coach Kyle is truly one of the best striking coaches in the game. He cares about his students, their families and is a martial artist to the core. He instructs many of his classes and whether you're a fighter or a beginner, he cares about seeing your skill set improve. If you are within a driving distance of striking arts, I would HIGHLY suggest making the drive and checking them out.“

“My son has been taking classes at Ki for a year now and really enjoys it. The masters have been fantastic at teaching him and he is very motivated to work toward his black belt. We appreciate the flexible schedule as well and there are plenty of class times so we can always find one that fits our schedule.We also just had a birthday party there for my son & Masters Antonio & Jorge were amazing at leading it. The kids had so much fun & it was easy for us as the parents too! Master Jorge was especially good with our 3yo daughter. He helped her one-on-one with the activities nearly the entire time & was so patient & kind with her. She was so happy & loved hanging out with him! We highly recommend Ki for classes & parties too.“

“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.“

“I’ve been training at P3 for almost a year now (on and off due to life being chaotic) but every time I go in I’m always greeted with a hello and a smile from all the coaches! It always feels like I never even left! All the coaches are super kind and knowledgeable and are always willing to answer any and all questions you may have, with patience and understanding! I’ve met a handful of girls who are all super friendly as well and in my experience that can be hard to find sometimes at gyms. I’m super grateful for P3 and the few friends I’ve made in my time being there! If you are a woman, and find working with bigger, stronger men a bit intimidating they do offer a women’s only class every Wednesday at 7 and Friday at 5:30(I believe, call to be sure) that I really enjoy! 10/10 definitely recommend P3 to anyone on the search for a place that is welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, and fun!“

“Rumi Maki is a world class boxing gym with training available for all ages and stages in life. El hefe Pedro takes his decades of professional boxing experience and expertise, and invests it right back into his students. Coach Ariel is a boxing beast in his own right, always patient with his students and eager to get his students to the next level. Master Ivan develops the next generation of young martial artists in taekwondo (“yes sir!”). And Elizabeth is always the first friendly face you get to see when you walk in — so helpful in answering any questions you might have. There are no egos or attitudes here. Nobody ever makes you feel embarrassed if it’s your first day or you mess up. There’s nothing but respect and humility at this gym. Joining Rumi Maki has been one of the best decisions in my life. I wish I made it sooner.“
