Martial Arts Schools in Palatine

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend. My son never wants to miss single class. Available for rescheduling class if you miss one.“
