what parents & students say

Your child’s activities should teach them life skills, not just suck up your family time…

“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!”
AMANDA C., ELGIN, IL
“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!”
BECKY W., ELGIN, IL
“…we have something we do together that has made us closer and given us something to share as a family.”
THE THORNE FAMILY, ELGIN, IL
“…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.”
AMY B., ELGIN, IL
“…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.”
JAMES B., ELGIN, IL
“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!”
ALICIA I., ELGIN, IL
“Kyuki-Do has helped me get back in shape, gain me confidence and self esteem and deepened my relationship with my family.”
MATT M., ELGIN, IL
“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!”
THE PTASINSKI FAMILY, ELGIN, IL
“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.”

Hi! I’m Jeff Kim, owner of Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin. I started martial arts at the age of 3 from my father, Grand Master Ok Hyung Kim. My father is the founder of Kyuki-Do. He also established Kim’s Black Belt Academy here in Elgin in 1967.
 
Kyuki-Do is a living, growing martial art that continues to expand and change. In addition to the core elements of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, and Hapkido, Kyuki-Do also includes techniques from Jujitsu, Karate, boxing, wrestling, traditional weapons from Okinawa and the Philippines, and many other arts and styles. Because of its versatility, Kyuki-Do is a highly effective style for kids and adults who are seeking a strong form of self-defense and a rewarding journey into the martial arts.
