Martial Arts Schools near West Chicago

“Mr. and Mrs. Koffenberger run a very professional martial art studio. I have watched their business grow and improve over the past 10 years. When my son earned his black belt, he reflected that Mr. K. has been one of the most supportive people in his life. Mr. K's influence will be felt over his lifetime I'm sure.The teachings are fun and at the same focused on discipline. They participate in many community events and are family focused.“

“Friends of ours just had their 4 year old son's birthday party here. The instructor/owner is FANTASTIC. She got my very shy daughter very involved very quickly. And also got the parents involved. It was a wonderful experience.“

“I was a pleasure getting a tour form Jason the instructor on the new techniques in these different styles. They have so many programs to choose from and they are really encouraging you to come with your family and make it a family event, as their are not too many sports that you can actually participate in with your children. I highly recommend their best program the Family class up to 6 family members. The self discipline, self-motivation and the two biggest traits you really need to develop early in life. This school has this as their top priority. I cannot wait to bring my family here starting May 1, 2024.“

“My favorite memory in karate was when I was at my first day at karate. I felt great when I broke a board, also getting my white belt made me proud. When I got the certificate for graduating to white belt I felt like I was going to jump in the air. I was so excited that I joined karate.H. Arellano age 11**My favorite memory is when I was a yellow/orange belt in the karate we played dodgeball. It was so fun. My second favorite memory is when I graduated to my green/brown belt and I was strong, fearless and happy. I know that I am a role model and I know that I need to continue to do my best.J. Arellano age 10**My favorite memory about karate is when at the end of the year we do an end of the year spectacular and you get to be on stage, everybody gets to look how good that you do. At karate, how strong, focused and powerful that you can be with your skills.from Fin age 9“
