Shockingly, I went tonight to a women's self defense class and I am in awe of the coaches and how much they care. I have always thought "I should take a self defense class one day", and I just never came around to it. LADIES... WE ARE NOT PREPARED TO BE ATTACKED. Plain and simple. Every female should take as many self defense classes as you can. Even if it's just one. Make it your goal for 2023. After the very first class, you will be glad you did it.

The owner, Brandon knows his subject very well and teaches both an effective first response and how to proceed from there, depending on the dynamic situation. The course is highly practical and each move taught is potentially useful if you should ever need it. Brandon offers a lot of support in class and often provides additional coaches in class to offer even more personal support. Brandon and his team of coaches clearly care about the students and demonstrate a high level of integrity. Again, it's been an excellent experience, and if you are interested in learning self-defense, this is a great place to go!

From the very first class, we were struck not just by the quality of the martial arts instruction, but by the deep sense of respect and discipline that forms the foundation of everything Mr. B does. He lead by example -- teaching more than punches and kicks; the studio teaches life skills. What truly sets this studio apart is how much Mr. B cares. Every student is treated with patience, encouragement, and individual attention. They celebrate effort and growth, not just achievement. It's a place where kids and adults learn to believe in themselves, push through challenges, and show kindness to others. Our child has grown immensely in confidence, focus, and self-respect since starting here. We're so grateful to be part of this community -- one that genuinely lives the values it teaches. Our family couldn't speak more highly of the studio and the community there.

I've watched them not only grow in physical strength, balance, and athleticism, but also in confidence and respect for themselves and others. Every week my kids can't wait to go to martial arts class and see what new skills they will learn. Master Ryan is an amazing instructor who really cares about all his students. He brings knowledge, patience, and humor to his martial arts training, and the classes are equal parts fun and educational. Master Ryan fosters a safe and encouraging environment, which in turn enables the students to thrive and support each other. And he has an excellent group of black belts, including Mister Will and Miss Allison, who he has trained to be outstanding instructors as well. All Star Martial Arts has been a great asset not only to my kids, but to the entire Oak Park Community. We look forward to continuing our martial arts journey with Master Ryan, his staff, and all the wonderful members of the All Star family.

Tang So Do is a Korean style Martial Arts but this school is no different, the values, tradition, culture and patriotism is integrated in the lessons they teach. Yes, I too learned this way at Shotokan, an Okinawan Karate and has similar instructional styles and practices, that dates back centuries. I've never seen Christian so respectful, measured and focused during his lessons here, he is attentive, laser focused and seems to be breathing and absorbing every aspect of GM Flame's instruction. During my visit, the classroom was full of students, different belt levels and skills but the most important here, is its inclusivity and highly- interactive styles of teaching. The Black Belts are also actively supporting the instruction but having them engage each other in sparring and hand to hand takedowns was enlightening and inspiring to watch. Meanwhile, I hope that they find a better and bigger landscape to teach these skills and practices to our children, they need a bigger space to be able to comprehensively inculcate the skills and talents this school is trying to articulate. Overall, I had fun and watching them engage each other, took me back to my old Shotokan days, where I would do the same routines and still enjoys watching the weapons being used and the tactics that built personal values and self-confidence of our children. Great job, GM Flame .... , I know that our little Christian has a great mentor, sensei and friend, we are confident that he will also grow into a very molded and responsible American warrior as he continue to learn these values!
