The instructors genuinely care about student progress and create an environment that's both disciplined and encouraging.

Highly recommend it to anyone serious about martial arts.

I took both of my boys and they love it. The weekly sessions have already helped them gain strength and endurance, and this cross-training has helped them in their other sports of swimming and basketball. My swimmer has gained upper body strength in short amount of time and this has helped him in his butterfly stroke and my baller has picked up the endurance he needs to play basketball for the full-hour without getting tired. This is a fantastic gym, everyone who comes in is super friendly, and Marco is super trainer! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn boxing, anyone who is looking to cross-train with their main sports, anyone is just looking for a great, intense workout and anyone who is also looking to gain discipline through a martial arts. While most people don't think of boxing as a martial art, it is a unique sport that has one of the best all around body work-outs and Marco is the best to get the best out of anyone who comes through the doors of his gym. Highly recommend this to anyone and twice on Sunday.

For our 3 year old, I am genuinely shocked at what he is able to do during the tots class. A few weeks ago, Sensei Jaime had an entire class of tots successfully walk their feet up the wall and go into a wall-supported handstands. They have so much fun, all while building confidence and practicing impulse control. It has been really incredible to watch Sensei Jaime work with our 9 year old and the various ways he keeps his lessons engaging and motivating. Both of our sons love going to class and to say they are elated whenever they reunite with Sensei Jaime would be a huge understatement. While most of our experience with Fonseca has been with youth karate, we often have the opportunity to watch the adult classes as we are coming and going and from what I have witnessed, the adult classes share the same infectious, positive energy as the youth classes. I cannot finish this review without highlighting the warm, friendly community that comes with Fonseca. We are so grateful to know the fellow Park Ridge families and for the whole team of instructors at this dojo.

We knew almost immediately we would be enrolling! When we heard they were opening a location in Park Ridge, we were excited about the shorter commute! Sensei Jaime teaches the kids' classes in Park Ridge and is absolutely incredible with them! He knows when to challenge them to try harder and when to be humorous. It was at the top of my list to find a dojo (Karate school) with a sensei (instructor) who connected well with kids, making learning fun but also challenging each child. Sensei Jaime has exceeded that. The studio itself is clean and minimal, which I think is the norm. It just opened in December and I can't wait for them to peel the paper off the windows! Your kids will learn about more than karate in class. At the end of each class they kneel, breathe and say, "Be the best person you can be! Respect the rule! Be truthful! Never give up! Self-discipline!"
