Martial Arts Schools near Lyons

“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! :)“

“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.“

“I love this place. They really instill morals ethics and self discipline all while teaching the students self defense and the techniques of tae kwon do. This is a great place for young boys and girls to be around positive influences that help shape great citizens of society.“

“This place is amazing my son started there in the beginning of Summer and his progressed so much from the teachers and staff they teach so much more than just Taekwondo to your child respect self-control build self-esteem it is a wonderful place to bring your child to Master Corona is an incredible instructor what he does with those children is amazing“

“(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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This is a great place to take a once a week self defense class. Being almost a senior citizen, I was wary of what would happen. I've learned a lot of good basic moves in just two months. Mike the head instructor and others are great trainers and very patient with new people.“

“Have been a student for over 20 years. Chief instructor is an excellent role model for the youths that attend.“

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

“My wife heard about this place from a friend. It came very highly recommended so we immediately took our children to sign up. The first time we went, they let my kids join in the class without worrying about payment or anything. This was nice because we wanted to make sure our kids liked the place and felt comfortable. The environment and atmosphere was very friendly, positive and welcoming. Our kids loved it immediately! We registered our kids on the same day and have been going for a couple of weeks now. This school is very highly recommended and they have classes for all ages and at different days and times throughout the week.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Very pleased with the accommodations in the room once everything was set up! I couldn’t ask for better coordination assistance than that provided by Barbara Martin! She’s the 5 star!!
Looking forward to working with her again soon’“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great people. Great training. Tough training (which is how I like it). Shihan is a very qualified instructor, and when Shihan isn't teaching, the Sensei he has is just as capable. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that this isn't the most accessible dojo. The schedule for adults (when I went) was limited to three days a week and it ended rather late at night past 10:00 PM. It was hard to catch a bus back to the EL. Be prepared to pay cash only, but well worth it for the instruction you get. Very friendly atmosphere. To dojo jest bardzo polskie. Polacy są tu bardzo mile widziani.“
