“I cannot say enough how amazing our experience at JP Wood has been. They hit all the marks on what we were looking for in a martial arts school. Mr. and Mrs. Wood are so passionate about teaching and all students receive individual attention. I love that they also teach courtesy, integrity, and focus. Our son absolutely loves learning here and always looks forward to his lessons!“

“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.“

“We love our karate place. It's been 10+ years we are going there. My older son grow up here and it is absolutely best place to get your kids moving. Sensei Veronica is very dedicated and she knows how to handle even not so easy kids. She is very professional and great in organizing classes, camps and birthday parties. It is not only beneficial, but always fun too.“

“Terrific gym. Top class instruction. Awesome facility. Great for kids and adults. Can’t recommend it enough.“

“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.“

“Master Chris (Coach Chris) is awesome with kids! Couldn't ask for a better kids' martial arts instructor!“

“Great experience for my 3 grandchildren! My 2 girls started 3 yeas ago and the discipline, respect and love to Tae Kwon Do made them more responsible! Both of them are black belts and the youngest started this year and make very happy seeing how he is enjoying each and Avery class! They are attending to the Wauconda location with master Kim! This is a wonderful environment for them to grow!! Thank you KI Tae Kwon Do staff!!!“

“I enrolled my grandson into Core Martial Arts In Libertyville two years ago. The instructors have extreme patience with the little ones and watching the progress that this now 6.5 year old has made is commendable. He comes home with what may seem like little things, like being able to count to ten in Korean or showing us some of his "moves", but they are big things to be proud of in his little world. I can't recommend Justin and Therese enough.“

“My 6 y/o son takes Tae Kwon Do classes here and it's a wonderful program for young kids. Master Jeong is great with the kids and teaches them discipline but does a lot of fun things with them to keep them involved and engaged. I'd highly recommend this place for active kids who need an outlet for their pent up energy.“

“This place is the best!Seong Heas Martial Arts Academy has been great for me and my son!“

“It’s a wonderful place to learn basic self-defense. The instructors are very welcoming and teach many skills you can use in your daily life. Our class was made up of many different ages, and everyone had a great time!“

“My son has grown emotionally and physically stronger, along with an increased confidence over this last year. Instructor Lee is not only a good teacher, he's a good role model and has been a wonderful influence with just the right amount of encouragement to inspire my son to try hard, to work hard, and to become the best he can be. TaeKwando has influenced all areas of my sons life, at home, school, with friends and I will always be grateful for that, and proud of my son for his accomplishments in such an honorable skill to learn. Thank you, Instructor Lee!“

“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.“
