Martial Arts Schools near Lombard

“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.“

“The team here is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before! They will dedicate their energy and effort to make sure your kids don’t feel excluded and feel like they belong. High recommend!“

“The instructors here are amazing! They are patient and kind, they know all of their students names. My son loves coming here! When you sign up for classes you’re signing up for 2 classes a week and you can come on any day you want. I highly recommend this facility!“

“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. :)“

“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!“

“Our girls love this class. Master Sul is patient, knowledgeable and enjoys teaching. The class is giving them confidence, teaching self defense and valuable life skills about self esteem, respect, courtesy. They take pride in their forms and testing and are even more proud to show others. They are progressing nicely and we’ve seen a huge improvement at home with following directions and self control. Highly recommend!“

“Returning to my karate dojo after a hiatus of 9 years was like coming home to family. The sensei here are truly exceptional, providing not only expert guidance in martial arts but also instilling values of discipline, respect, and perseverance. Since my return 4 years ago, I've experienced remarkable growth both in my skills and character, thanks to their dedication and encouragement. This dojo is more than just a place to train; it's a community where individuals are empowered to reach their fullest potential. I wholeheartedly recommend this dojo to anyone seeking not only to master karate but also to cultivate a strong mind, body, and spirit. I've put a picture of about 7-9 years ago below“

He is a huge role model for your kid who teaches them not only physical endurance but also how to be a better person for yourself and others. My son’s behaviour improved tremendously since he started his journey to the point he has been receiving many school rewards for being respectful and helpfull for orhers.Highly reccomended !“
