Elgin Martial Arts School for Kids

“Our family is grateful to have been introduced to Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin. Our daughters first met Mrs. Berg through a summer program and enjoyed it so much that they convinced us to let them join. The younger started in pre-kyuki-do at 5 and the older in basic at 7. It's been almost two years since starting and they managed to convince me to join in as well last year. It's a very cool experience to now be training with both girls and is a memory I'll cherish and hope they do as well. We're aiming for black belts and all of the instructors and staff are consistently helpful and motivating. With the growth in coordination, self-confidence, and ability we've seen in our girls matched by the supportive culture of the school it's an experience that is worth every minute of class and drop of sweat!”

“We are incredibly grateful to be part of the Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin family. We originally enrolled our son in the program when he was four to help with his focus and confidence. We quickly saw results in both areas. The instructors do a wonderful job with the kids to keep them engaged and challenged. A year ago, I made the decision to enroll and train with my son and we are currently working towards our black belts together. I am honestly not sure who has more fun, my son or me. It has been a wonderful bonding experience for the two of us that we will share forever. It is nice to see multiple families training at the academy together. I highly recommend enrolling your child (or the whole family) at Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin. The team has always been fantastic and really do love what they do. ”

“We are so pleased with the development of our son since he has been here. He has learned (and is still learning) to focus, be disciplined, and have a winning team spirit. We love to see his dedication to excellence that they teach, which is an extension of how we parent at home. I would recommend getting your child in class right away.”

“We signed our 4 year old up for the KMA 3/4 program to help build his confidence and pull him out of his shy shell. Since he started in June, we have seen so much growth in him! He gets excited to go to class and work with the instructors who we all love. They have so much patience with the children! Mrs. Berg is always quick to respond to any email or phone call, and is always on top of things. I was even surprised to see how many events they do outside of class time, like a summer bbq and breakfast with Santa! I would highly recommend signing your child up for a class here! It’s amazing to watch his/her growth within the program.”

“My family has been training there for over six years. My kids learned to be respectful and gained self confidence. We are closer as a family and also developed one of the kind friendships with the fellow students and their families. The chief instructor is great and we also get to learn from the founder's son. They're both amazing instructors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We have grown to love this place like our second home. Thank you KMA!”

“My daughter Gwen has been doing Kyuki-Do since fall of 2012 when she was in kindergarten. This is her third year and she loves it. She wanted to do martial arts so that’s why we got her involved in it. I think it’s really good for discipline and self-confidence. She really enjoys it and I like the sense of family here and we’ve had a lot of fun!”

“…we have something we do together that has made us closer and given us something to share as a family.”

“…I succeeded…I have to thank Master Kim, Master Steinmaier, and all the people I train with for being so positive and helping me get the confidence to realize it.”

“…the family atmosphere at Kyuki-Do sealed the deal for me… anyone can do it no matter what shape they are in, it is just as much mind as body.”

“I joined Kyuki-Do because I wanted to learn how to defend myself, but mostly I wanted to learn how to become more focused and respectful. Kyuki-Do has been absolutely phenomenal for that and I absolutely love it!”

“Kyuki-Do has helped me get back in shape, gain me confidence and self esteem and deepened my relationship with my family.”

“We are the Ptasinski family we’ve been practicing Kyuki-Do Martial arts for about the last year and a half. After our trial lesson and we were hooked, fell in love immediately. Our goals for our daughter and not only ourselves are physical fitness. We wanted A.J to pay attention better at home, learn some discipline, learn some new skills, and learn some self-defense. I would highly recommend it to anyone ….. This has been a lot of fun and it has been a wonderful bonding family experience!”

“My son Tony has been attending Kyuki-Do Martial Arts for 4 years now. I wanted him to join to help with his focus at school, and it has helped so much, not only with school but in every other area of his life as well. Tony loves coming to Kyuki-Do.”
