“Our family loves Chang’s Taekwondo! My daughter has been a student here since 2022, and she has gained many valuable skills, both physical and mental. This spring, I enrolled her in camp and she absolutely loved it. She participated in a variety of fun, active games and arts and crafts. Master Roger, Instructor Michelle, and all the leaders continuously strive to provide a wonderful experience for all the students. They motivate my daughter to reach her goals in class, which then helps her at home and school. Her self-confidence has increased when speaking in front of people and making new friends. She recently volunteered to be the first speaker at her spring concert. We are very happy to see all the progress she has made! Thank you to the Chang’s Taekwondo team.“

“Absolutely delighted with MBD! Sensei Michelle and her team are exceptional – their teaching is thorough, and the positive impact on my kids is already evident. The excitement they show for each class is heartening, and I'm even contemplating joining myself. Kudos to Sensei Michelle and the team for creating such a welcoming and impactful martial arts experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My 7 year old takes class twice a week hat the Bolingbrook location. The facility is well kept, clean, and organized. The instructors interact with students before class, ensuring engagement and safe play (so much that my son asks to arrive early each session). Classes are appropriately challenging and content varies as to keep learning new skills while reviewing previously learned techniques. Respect is earned and given from both teachers and students.“

“I was reluctant to enroll my 8-year-old son, but it has proven to be worth every penny. In fact, less than a week after enrolling one child, my 4-year-old son and husband enrolled as well. Sky Centers has the most exceptional senseis. They know all the children’s names, which blows my mind. The students receive a ton of personalized attention. The senseis know how to correct their students’ form in a way that instills confidence at the same time, all while having fun. My kids absolutely love going to karate classes. So does my husband. I’ve seen such a change in my children’s self-confidence in just a few months. There are Parents Night Out events where the kids get dropped off for several hours and have fun at a themed event (glow-nunchucks, foam swords, Nerf night, etc.). My 8-year-old has a blast at these events! The students are respectful and kind. When we were learning how to tie the belt, so many different students helped us tie it and tried to teach us how to tie it. That’s the atmosphere of the place… people help and welcome each other. I can’t say enough positive things about Sky Centers.“

“Great environment to train no matter the experience or skill ...Leon and team tailor their training/coaching style to the individual!“

“My 10 year old son and 12 year old daughter have been attending U.S. Martial Arts Academy for over a year. They enjoy the challenge and have thrived. Their Taekwondo skills have developed but there are several attributes they have acquired that we were not expecting. Their self-esteem, confidence, mood, and levels of determination have noticeably grown.“

“It's been a year now and my son is a purple belt. He is enjoying it very much. The instructors are awesome and really care about the kids. I would recommend Des Plaines Martial Arts to all. :)“

“I was very skeptical about signing up my oldest for TKD because I was worried about how he would listen. This has been, by far, the best investment for him. The masters are engaging, passionate, and attentive to all the needs of the children. I'm so happy we found DKF. Master Adam and Master Sporanza are truly the best! At 4.5 years old I can already notice a huge difference in my sons behaviors and mannerisms at home.“

“Great place to learn Tae Kwon Do! Well kept, well run. They really care about their students.“

“We Hired Frank from Amalgam Martial Academy to work with kids ages 6 - 12 years over a summer camp program. Every week the kids were super excited to see Mr. Frank and learn all about self defense, good character, and discipline. He was personable with the kids and would quickly change tactics if he felt they were struggling with a concept and re-frame it in a new light. At the end of the summer the camp kids even got to break their own boards! They we so proud of themselves and the new skills they learned with Mr. Frank. If you are thinking of putting your kids in martial arts, my top recommendation is Amalgam Martial Academy and Mr. Frank. We will definitely hire them again for future summer camp programs. Thank you Mr Frank!“

“The fighters and regular peeps of all ages training together so everyone gets better.Coach Mac and Richardo rock“

“Firstly, if Ma'am or Sir end up reading this, I have to say that I'm sorry I didn't share a reason for my sudden departure from lessons. I had been stewing on it for a while, as High School drew closer and closer to beginning, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to focus on both. That conflict of interests ultimately made me enjoy these lessons less and less, as I was naively afraid to directly voice my concerns, and ended up saying nothing like the young and dumb teenager I was. I probably should have written this review much earlierSecondly. Having spent so much time here, I can safely say that it is one of the most welcoming, honest, and family-like groups I've ever been a part of. Practicing, training, sparring, and learning together always felt wonderful thanks to how much each of us got to bond with one another, form friendships, etc. Not only is this an excellent place to learn Tae-Kwon-Do, it is an excellent place to meet people you genuinely enjoy engaging and interacting with, especially Sir and Ma'am, who are the best instructors a student could ask for.I apologize that it has taken so long for me to say much of anything after my departure, there is no excuse for that, and even less for not sharing the reason for it prior to doing so. I cannot apologize enough for that, truly, I cannot- E. Rodriguez“

“Our family has been with AKYI for almost 5 years. I am also a student and my son is in AKYI competition team. We feel very comfortable with Master Ray and Miss Amanda. They respect our decisions and never push us to do things we are not sure about. Highly recommend!“

“Have worked with and had students test there in the past. Wonderful instructors! Highly skilled and knowledgeable. A safe and fun place to train at! :)“

“The best. Both my sons, Tristan and Colin, earned their black belts here with the excellent training.“

“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.“

“Best dojo in Illinois! Kids learn more in 1 hour than they do in a year somewhere else!“

“My daughter has been coming here for almost a year. She loves it and we love it as well! From the first conversation I had with Sensei Pat I knew that she was not only an amazing Sensei but an amazing person. My daughter has learned a lot and she is always eager to come to the dojo. I am so happy I found American Tiger Karate Academy.“

“It's not Gracie Barra, it's Tiki Terrace now. My family and I shared a wonderful time together to celebrate 2 birthdays. We saw several Hawaiian dances and heard a little of Hawai'I 's history and traditions. Because there were several people celebrating their birthday's, 2 people where brought up on stage to dance. It seemed as though the whole restaurant was one big party. My family certainly enjoyed the experience. The food was okay, shredded pork, salmon and breaded chicken were served with white rice and a macaroni noodle salad.“

“Sensei Chris is the best!! So much knowledge n constantly learning n passing his knowledge to his students HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! you don’t have to be Japanese to do karate RESPECT! Osu!“

“Master are extremely knowledgeable and professionals, if you want you’re love ones to have a good discipline this is the right place“

“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!“

“Great place for training some real things.Professional trainers and nice people to train with!“

“I was a practitioner for about 15 years until the age of 18 and had to leave for college. I worked up to my second degree black belt and it took 15 years, so you can assume this school believes in the philosophies a martial arts school should: discipline, hard work and perseverance. I am currently 21 years old and I owe Hapkido my life as it taught me self discipline at such a young age and led me to carry those same philosophies throughout high school up into the present. I love Hapkido because of the culture this school produces. The culture of confidence, not arrogance. The culture of movement and life, not stillness. The culture of love, not hate. Grand Master Chang and Master Austria have given me life beyond my years. I highly recommend this school to anyone who cares about caring for themselves or their family. It focuses on self defense techniques that could literally save your life someday. This school is a place where kids can grow up and become leaders rather than followers. It is a place where you push yourself to be a better you. I can't stress how greatly appreciative I am of this wonderful school and all the amazing mentors I had. Do yourself a favor and sign up as soon as possible!“
