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.“

“Master Morris is great with students! He consistently conveys courtesy, respect and professionalism in every interaction while being ecouraging and fun at the same time. I am so glad we found Master Morris as an instructor at Barrington Martial Arts. I can't say enough good things about him !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love it here! Coaches are really really kind. Pedro, the owner, Ariel and Jesus make me feel super welcomed! I just started and they really help me adjust since I’m a beginner. I go to smaller classes and like that I can get that individual attention. They really help fine tune everything! They push you to be your best and I have a new found love for boxing! The conditioning is intense but keeps you really fit. Love it here!!!“

“Very good. Teaches martial arts but also focus on repect, discipline, school work, care for siblings...etc“
