Great class format for my little kids. They teach respect, patience, discipline and are very…read moreknowledgeable.

This past week was teacher appreciation week. Everyone is quick to appreciate the teachers that…read moreour children have in their classroom, as tutors and for electives. We often over look the teachers that teach our kids in the most subtle and profound ways. I wanted to take a moment to recognize two of these teachers in my children's lives. Three of my four children have been attending Jin Martial Arts for almost a year. Master Brett and Master Jeff never fail to amaze me with how they teach, guide and run their school. Both Master Brett and Master Jeff have unwavering patience with children of all ages. I have had the pleasure of watching the Tiny Tornadoes class while my 6 year old was in it and their ability to keep 4 -6 year olds focused and showing respect is impressive. Master Brett has a remarkable way of speaking to kids, especially this younger age group. He speaks to them on their level while not speaking down to them and puts some of life's most valuable lessons in words that they can process and understand. Master Jeff is equally patient and kind. As the kids move up in classes, the expectations change while always remaining age appropriate. Students' personal growth is the focus. The growth I have seen in my children since starting classes at Jin Martial Arts has been tremendous. It goes without saying that they have grown physically, my 11 year old daughter can do push-ups. As a parent, the growth that may not be as obvious; confidence, respect, taking responsibility for their actions, treatment of siblings, just to name a few; is invaluable. Master Brett and Master Jeff truly care for their students and want to see them succeed, the theme being to improve yourself and try your best. They have created an environment that parents can feel welcome in and that we are all there to support each other and the students; they have created a village. It is hard to find words to describe the positivity and kindness that Master Brett and Master Jeff have created. Positivity and kindness feel like a cliche that doesn't fully explain the teaching style and community that is Jin Martial Arts. It is so much more than that. Master Brett and Master Jeff are true leaders and teach above all else by example of how they conduct themselves. They are teaching more than martial arts; they are teaching how to be better. They give our future hope. Watching them interact with our youth is refreshing and humbling. To Master Brett and Master Jeff, thank you. Thank you for all you do for our kids. It matters. -Emily Ciarletto (Landon, Valerie and Everett's mom)

I have seen numerous youth learn, grow, and develop into Gold Medal Winners as a result of Sensei's unwavering dedication. This is a most excellent school to learn traditional Shotokan Karate and seek one's own perfection of character.

Dhawan the owner at the downtown aurora dono, seems not too professional or motivated to welcome others in. My spouse had called about a month ago looking to start Karate, he is a amateur fighter, and just wanted to broadin his horizon in the art of fighting. My spouse was so optimistic to start Karate here, he had reached out via phone to be told to stop on in, and that we did. We wanted to right then and there make payment and set up when we would start coming into the dojo. Mr. Dhawan didn't seem so enthusiastic about having us start just yet and told us to wait two weeks when they come back from a tournament in Texas, which the date to start us in his dojo would be April 7th. We had called that day didn't receive a call back, my spouse then call today, again no answer. Since my spouse was excited to start our new journey drove in person to see the owner, there were a few parents waiting in the front room and session was at a end, there is NO SIGN that state DO NOT ENTER UNLESS etc..so my spouse walked in with payment in hand to see when we could start training..in response my partner was greeted with coldness anger and bitterness..in front of CHILDREN at that. no respect or honor. My man had to be the bigger person and walk away. He had $900 in hand for us to start there, looks like we will be going to Phantom kickboxing in Plainfield. Axel Arellano is a real multiple world champion professional fighter with honor and a code of discipline but he's also very soft and welcoming when it comes new people and hes the best in the area and we are happy to be there instead. Thank you for showing your true colors Dhawan.

All special needs parents that struggle with trying to involve your kid(s) with a sport or…read moreextracurricular this is exactly what your kid needs. Mason my 10 year old has been with Master Yu at Yong-in Aurora for 2 years now. My son has more or less moderate functioning autism. He struggles tremendously with friends and peers and thrives on structure and goals. He is an amazing kid however we felt like he lacked a sense of extracurricular socializing. We live in a bubble those of you I'm sure can relate and ever since the day he met Master Yu his eyes had been forever glowing with learning Taekwondo. He has accomplished becoming a red belt as of today and I kid you not Master Yu has a gift to form this bond and trust with my son that makes me as a parent Soooo happy. Mason has idolized Master Yu so much that if I feel I have any concerns at home or at school he is able to relay that to him during his sessions. Let's face it our kids don't always listen to mom and dad but the discipline and structure he is able to grasp from his Master is mesmerizing. I can go on and on but honestly my son has been blessed to have met such a kind, caring, motivating and extraordinary person that's definitely leaving permanent footprints in his life that will go with him into adulthood and really give him a sense of belonging to something he cares for with all his heart. We don't ever want to part with Master Yu as he's been a godsend for us. It's worth it you won't believe me until you try. Trust me Go for it!

Prior to this class, I never had any other training so I was a little nervous but everyone was very patient and kind and made this a fun experience. All the instructors, helpers, and Master Yu did a great job on teaching us different self defense techniques. I would Highly recommend going here for classes !

Our experience with Master…read moreLee has always been at the highest level of satisfaction, and my son adores the way he helped him through each step of the belt process. Master Lee is terrific with all ages and levels of experience & growth. His classes are well rounded in that he rotates around developing form, calisthenics, general athleticism, all while concentrating on the tenets of respect, confidence and focus. We couldn't be happier that we chose Master Lee and his dojang for our son's black belt pursuit. Our many thanks and gratitude to Master Lee for helping our son achieve something amazing. It's an achievement for life that cannot be taken away. Cheers.

While the classes can be strict, the instructors find a way to make it enjoyable which in turn motivates many including our son to keep striving to be better each passing day. Alexander is always excited to come into class especially on days when they do sparring or when it is belt testing time. Grandmaster Lee accolades are very impressive and his main instructor (Ben) along with the leaders are all professional and caring of everyone's success. Alexander has definitely become a better listener, more confident, and respectful since he has joined the program.
