“Our children have been going to Flying V for 5 months and and they are really enjoying it! We enrolled to help our younger son overcome his shyness at school and it has really helped him gain some much needed confidence. His teachers at school have noted a change in him and we truly believe it’s because of the skills he learned at Taekwondo. In addition to the physical movements they learn, they also teach the children about respect, focus and teamwork. We love Flying V!“

“Dino has been my coach and mentor for 20 years. You'll never find a coach who cares and will immerse himself into your existence like Dino will. He desires to transform you into what you could be. Whatever the cost for that is? It's worth it.“

“Awesome grappling academy. Coach Spacek is friendly and very welcoming. He is a BJJ and Judo blackbelt with a wrestling background. Great place to train if you are in the area. Great place to visit if you are not.“

“Top Level has, in my experience, the kindest and most helpful people I've ever met. I mainly train at another gym, however, If I didn't have know the people at my gym from years prior, and went into things blind, Top Level might have been where I chose to stay. The Environment Bernie, Leon and the other team members create is about the best thing you could ever ask for. Whether you're looking to just get a work out in, or want to become a professional fighter, top level has the ability to cater to anyone. Really can't say enough good things about the place. As long as I train I'll be going to Top Level, and I encourage anyone who is wondering about getting into legit martial arts to try top level out.“

“Frank is an exceptional instructor who takes the time to understand each child's physical and mental abilities. He teaches the fundamentals of Martial Arts, as well as the importance of respect and discipline, which are equally important. The facility is well-managed, and the customer service is excellent. I highly recommend this place.“

“Best decision I ever made and could not be happier with this jiu jitsu gym. The professors and coaches couldn’t be more helpful and engaging and without a doubt, are the best around. I’ve built some great friendships in my 2.5 years there as well. If you’re considering doing jiu jitsu, even if you don’t live in the general area, this gym is absolutely worth joining. There are a bunch of class options as well making this place very easy to fit into the busiest schedule.“

“Just great professional finest dojo I’ve ever seen and established under same master sensi wonderful place mind body and spirit .children adolescents and adults all with strength physical and mental“

“(indepth review)Feeling desperate to lose weight and gain discipline, a friend of mine recommended this place.The trainers were nice enough to let me try one class for free to get a feel of things. After the class I was absolutely dead. I was tired. Exhausted. Some muscles that I didn't know I had were burning. This is a good thing. I haven't felt like this for years. Immediately I signed up for 2 years.It is difficult, yes. You will be exhausted. You will be taken out of your comfort zone. You will work muscles that you didn't think existed but I guarantee that you will feel alive and will come back for more.When you sign up you will be given two uniform shirts and a pair of boxing gloves for free. Think of this place like a streaming service. You pay a subscription and you get access to a bunch of movies and tv shows (in this case classes). You can do Boxing, kickboxing, etc etc. There are more advanced classes that you need to be approved to attend. These will have a red font. A blue font is for kids. A black font is for teens and adults.Class may go something like this:The first 10ish minutes is jogging, stretches, push ups, etc.You get a 1 minute transition period to drink some water (BRING WATER) and your gloves. You'll train, usually in pairs. This means you actually have to go up to someone and ask "Hey want to be partners?" Then after class you may do some stretches and then the fun is over.I can really feel like I am progressing and getting stronger. I have more confidence and self control.So is it worth it? Absolutely.Will it push you to your limits? Yes.edit: I still come here. Best decision I've ever made in my life. I am much more flexible than before.“

“Excellent confidence building, home discipline and focus building program for kids. My daughter was super shy at first and now looks forward to going to class with the amazing Bill the master who work so hard and diligently to help our kids grow and become confident little ones. The time and investment will truly pay off and help your child become his/her best. Highly recommend.“

“My daughter has been going here for over 3 years. She loves her class and her instructor. Master So is great with her.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

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

“I had the chance to train in Logan square Aikido while visiting Chicago. It was a very good experience, nice people, very good teachers, clear explanations, intense physical training, discipline, and a clean and comfortable location. If you want to start or train Aikidō in Chicago this dojo is the place.“

“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.“

“I'm a newbie to Martial Arts. Was nervous because I was expecting the Cobra Kai, but Erik (instructor) is more like a younger and much taller Mr. Miyagi. I'm sure he doesn't want me comparing the Dojo to the Karate Kid.. but what do I know. I'm a newbie. Regardless, I had fun and got a vigorous workout. Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing gym. Hardcore traditional martial arts. Love master bob, he is old school wit badass up to date technique. This gyn relocated on 16th and central ave by warren park in that building by the playground.“

“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!“

“My daughter entered Taekwondo and it was a great experience for me, my daughter liked it a lot and says that it is a very nice experience, and thanks to her teacher she is fulfilling her dreams.“

“The members and employees rock. Everyone is nice, encouraging and welcoming. I love working out here.“

“Fantastic atmosphere and quality instruction. Facility is clean and well maintained. Great experiences here!“

“I trained with Mike 12 years ago.He had his gym in weslaco tx, Very good trainer and person. I learned things from him and greatly appreciate all his teachings.well recommended trainer. HATS OFF TO HIM.“

“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.“

“Happy to have 2 my boys with ATA, good dedicated coaches (they really care!), great program. I strongly recommend!“

“This gym is a nice one it has all you really need, and it is quiet. This would be a 5 star if they had an incline bench in better shape.“
