“I love this place! It has amazing instructors. They are all Nice and funny. They get the moves into our heads. Make sure we are disciplined. One day is review. The other is learned. This place is the best for martial arts“
“My 7 year old son has been going to Total Impact for several months and loves it! All of the instructors are patient and understanding, yet require the students to be focused so they are able to learn. We would definitely recommend Total Impact to anyone interested in starting martial arts!“
“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
“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.“
“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. :)“
“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.“
“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“
“This is a great place to train, the coaches are really helpful and full of knowledge regarding the art. They really get into detail on how to set up and finish moves and safety is big priority. I would definitely recommend this place!“
“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.“
“Midwest Shotokan has helped our child be more confident socially and more disciplined physically. We recommend this dojo to any age. Senesi Veronica and her staff are great!“
“Great gym, great training partners and competent owner. Everyone is humble despite level of expertise . As long as you check your ego at the door, this is a great place to learn, grow and develop. What I love vs most MMA gyms, Top Notch has a Full gym that can be utilized (workout equipment-bench, dumbbells, squat rack, TRX, ETC) to compliment the full MMA layout. Which consist of wrestling mats, grappling dummies, punch bags, accompanied by a caged octagon. All a apart of the gym membership. Give it a try risk free prior to spending any $.I live in Lyons IL, its worth the travel for me. Great programs for kids as well.“
“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.“
“Great place to learn Tae Kwon Do! Well kept, well run. They really care about their students.“
“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 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.“
“The best. Both my sons, Tristan and Colin, earned their black belts here with the excellent training.“

“Several years ago in my mid 40s, wanting to start something new, I was looking for a jazz piano lesson, but somehow ended up joining U.S. Matsumoto Shidokan Karate instead. All my family and friends were stunned because I was the least likely person to do exercise or play sports, let alone martial arts. I did not know (and still do not know) what made me change my mind. That irrational decision I made, however, has turned out the best thing I’ve ever done to myself.Training is so intense at our “dojo,” which means a martial art school in Japanese, I always try to find an excuse not to attend the class up until making the last turn into the parking lot there. One hour later after the class, I feel great, invigorated mentally and physically. The positive effect on my mind and body is just unbelievable!Now in my mid 50s, I would like to use my precious time on learning from and getting inspired by something/someone top-notch and essential as much as possible. Shihan (Master) Matsumoto is a first-rate karate master who not only teaches us martial art techniques (of course, his focus in the class is improving each student’s technique and he knows exactly how) but also inspires us to be a better person without saying too much. Shihan Matsumoto, his wife Sensei (Instructor) Etsuko, a great teacher herself who encourages us to be positive all the time, and my fellow students at Matsumoto Shidokan are the people dear to my heart besides my family.Since the beginning of this COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. Matsumoto Shidokan Karate has been providing on-line classes to its students. I really appreciate that and hope to go back to the dojo as soon as the virus is no longer a serious risk. I promise I won’t try to find an excuse not to go anymore!“

“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!“

They have machines, treadmills, punch bags, functional rooms. The individual bathrooms are so clean. They even provide towels. Awesome gym to work out.“

“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.“
