Martial Arts Schools near Elgin

“Can't say enough great things about Mr. Mike and his crew. I had zero experience with karate so I did not know what to expect for my kids but it's been amazing. Our kids love it and beyond karate they instill the values of play, respect, listening, safety, love of exercise, and general life skills so that they can be confident and prepared for life. Mr. Mike and his staff genuinely get to know each kid, care for them, and are invested in them. They challenge them and teach their more experienced students responsibility by having assist with various aspects of the classes. Kids can attend as many classes as they want a month for a flat price which is very nice to not have to be locked in to the same night each week, like other extra curriculars, if your schedule changes. You will not be disappointed and your kids will love it and be better off with the experience.“

“It is a wonderful place for kids and adults to learn martial arts. All of the people there are really kind and caring.“

“?WE HAVE BEEN AROUND and there is simply no school that compares to this one. 1️⃣. At other schools there was a "you are the student and I am the teacher" barrier. Here the teachers are VERY involved with each and every student and care SO passionately about their growth-both as a martial artist and as a person. As a parent, what else can you ask for? 2️⃣. At other schools they hand out belts like it's candy. Here, you must earn it, and so when you do earn that next belt, your child feels a sense of accomplishment. 3️⃣. While this school should be more expensive because it's just so much better, it's actually significantly cheaper than the others. 4️⃣. This may not be important to some but it is for us: Master Martin, while passionate and caring and serious about teaching..is SO funny!! He makes the kids laugh, and knows when to be serious and when to be silly. 5️⃣. Everyone that assists Master Martin is equally AWESOME, and there is just a mutual respect and familial feeling throughout the school. I could go on with more reasons, but in conclusion THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. TO. BE. (P.S. They also have adult classes which I also highly recommend!)Sincerely,-a VERY happy mom of 3 kids that will all be black belts someday!?“
