We've been at Star for 6 years now. It is a testament to the dedication every instructor commits to…read morewhile teaching martial arts to their students. When the pandemic hit, we knew it would be an indication of dedication as to why businesses would step up and answer the call to challenge and diversity or cave to the many existing pressures. The Star team chose to rise up and answer the call, bringing along with them a group of like-minded students. What came out of it was an even stronger team who demonstrated the life skills they taught: respect, discipline, communication & confidence. This weekend our daughter became one of the youngest black belts and has enjoyed being a student and now leader at Star. We can't say enough about Masters Mr. & Mrs. Birky, Ms. Torres, Mr. Cooper, Ms. E & C Gallegos, Mr. Schoettmer, Mr. Hartman & Mr. Hawkins along with all the other instructors who are learning to lead and assist in classes or who may no longer be at Star. You are an extraordinary team with life long goals both meaningful and purposeful. We appreciate the practice and effort you've given us, and as newly signed-up parents, we are now looking forward to our journey to black belt as well. Once again, we continue to strongly recommend Star Martial Arts - Elkhart to foster all the important life skills parents are teaching their children.

This is more than a school, this is a community. The people here invest in each other's lives, and they'll invest in you too if you give them the chance. Yes, there are promotions, it is a business, but none of it is mandatory and you don't need the fancy stuff to get a real benifite out of it. I've seen countless lives transformed. Please come see it yourself!

After her first class the tantrums stopped.. I was honestly shocked and didn't think it would of helped. I was very wrong. Lol. All the teachers are amazing, and the teacher who handles the toddler class. She is awesome and handles my little one so well, especially because she likes to get up and run away or gets easily distracted. The teacher is super patient. Which I appreciate the most. Can't wait for my little one to continue this journey with all of these wonderful people!

Look no further than Eldridge's ATA Tae Kwon Do! The instructors are friendly and care about the students. The students learn at the pace they are able to without feeling rushed or pressured to move up in belt colors. The students learn actual moves that can help them get free if a kidnapper tries to steal them away. They also get to participate in combat tournaments to burn off energy and build confidence. Boys especially need an outlet for their masculine energy and aggression without hurting others. This is the place to do that! Your child will learn respect as well, addressing instructors as Sir or Ma'am and how to politely shake hands with their sparring partners. Class programs are a little expensive, but think about what you would spend on baseball or soccer for your child. And baseball and soccer aren't going to help your child escape a dangerous situation! I completely recommend this activity for children, especially boys. It will make them more confident, respectful men in society!

If you aren't dedicated to this gym only your risk being thrown out and told to never return. The owner is someone who made doing jiu jitsu a hobby into something more. His teaching lacks depth and knowledge and for the price being charged it isn't worth it. I wish I had better things to say as I really looked forward to coming to this gym and participating in kickboxing, but since kickboxing was abruptly shutdown and is no longer being offered I'm gladly taking my money elsewhere to support a female run gym.

Classes ended abruptly and without warning. We had class the night before and was told at seven AM…read morethe next morning they were closed permanently. Had to ask for my refund rather than automatically refunded for the inconvenience. Incredibly unprofessional. If you want to train here, just know you will be looked down upon if you want to train anywhere else even if you want a well rounded jits and fitness knowledge. This is not a place of support for students or instructors. I would consider many other locally owned gyms before I ever even think about taking another class here. Won't be back.
