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

“My son has been taking classes at Ki for a year now and really enjoys it. The masters have been fantastic at teaching him and he is very motivated to work toward his black belt. We appreciate the flexible schedule as well and there are plenty of class times so we can always find one that fits our schedule.We also just had a birthday party there for my son & Masters Antonio & Jorge were amazing at leading it. The kids had so much fun & it was easy for us as the parents too! Master Jorge was especially good with our 3yo daughter. He helped her one-on-one with the activities nearly the entire time & was so patient & kind with her. She was so happy & loved hanging out with him! We highly recommend Ki for classes & parties too.“

“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!“

“Lee's Taekwondo in Gurnee is hands down the best martial arts school in NorthShore! My family and I have been attending classes here, and it's been an exceptional experience. The instruction, especially the incredible Rocio lines for kids and families, is top-notch.Not only have I seen significant improvements in my self-defense skills, but I also shed 25 pounds in just 2 months! Lee's Taekwondo is the ultimate destination for families and individuals seeking self-defense training or fitness goals. I can't recommend it highly enough. It truly deserves five stars for its dedication to students' growth and well-being!"“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! My son did the trial and is now signed up for 6 months! The environment is so amazing and watching how much my son loves it is so rewarding.“

“Excellent place to learn traditional Japanese martial arts. The atmosphere is welcoming with an exceptional and knowledgeable Sensei that not only teaches you but also treats you with respect. You will learn self defense and discipline. Overall, Bushido Kyokai is an excellent place to hone both body and mind.“

“On a trip passing through Illinois from Butte, Montana I was lucky enough to be able to train one night with NAMA…Elite skill level AND elite level of teaching skills as well . Guru Mark Halek taught the Kali class I attended and I was super impressed !!“
