    Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and boxing. Great place to train whether you want to compete, learn an art or get into shape.

    Kuk Sool Won of Peoria has an amazing martial arts program with traditional Korean martial arts…read morespanning punching, kicking, pressure points, joint locks, throws, proper falling techniques, acrobatics, along with respect, discipline, and how hard work pays dividends! Both of my kids earned their Black Belts, and I'm still going because I like it so much! I lost weight, am in better shape than when I was in my 20's, and I can do things I didn't think I'd ever be able to do! I don't watch martial arts movies wishing I could do those things, I go practice them instead! Regarding the poor review, when people don't give their kids a chance for more than a month of lessons in ANYTHING, their kids won't learn much. Has anyone only given their kids 4 weeks of piano lessons and wondered why their kids didn't learn much? And, as an adult, never sign anything without reading it. It sounds like someone was looking for someone to blame rather than trying to teach their kids a lesson in hard work so they could actually earn something and start learning valuable life lessons. I wish they had given their kids a chance!

    I have watched several people come in with a lack of self asteem/self confidence and after a few…read moreclasses they are changed....yes sir yes maam their whole demeanor has changed more confidence walks proud....great instructors .....its a true family outside of their family

The instructors have really made a positive impact on our whole family. And they have clear, attainable goals for my son to achieve as he progresses through his belt ranks. It has been worth every penny since he started almost a year ago.

I started my daughter with the school when she was 7 years old, uncoordinated and the farthest thing from physically inclined. Now, five years later, my daughter had poise, confidence, high self esteem, and had gained a lot of physical attributes including muscular arms and legs, balance, and coordination. Seeing my child succeeding and benefiting from her training gave me a strong desire to join her on her climb through the ranks. I signed up a year after she began, and saw the benefits immediately. Not only did I get a tremendous workout on a daily basis, but was constantly filled with pride in my own achievements throughout my training. Four years later I feel stronger, safer, more confident, more outspoken, more adaptable to change, more accepting of criticism, and more capable in all aspects of my life. Like my daughter I never thought of myself as physically inclined and was never into sports... karate is as much a sport to me as it is an art, a challenge and a lifestyle. I would not give up my training for anything. Thank you AOK for everything you've given myself and my family.

    I've been going to Farrell's since October 2011 and have been holding off on reviewing it till I…read morewas sure about what I wanted to write, but I think I'll finally give it a shot. I'm going to tell you what it is, and then why I like it. What is it?: Farrell's isn't your standard gym, and it isn't your standard approach to a fitness plan. The program is a mixture of kickboxing and resistance training. Monday-Wednesday-Friday is kickboxing, and Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday alternates between Upper and Lower body band resistance training. The classes are 45 minutes, and you pick a time to show up 6 days a week. I chose the 5am class, but there are many options. When you first join Farrell's you are enrolling in the 10 week transformation program. Everyone that you see in Farrell's has gone through the 10 week program. This includes the people working behind the counter and all of the instructors. The instructors aren't personal trainers, they are just normal people that have gone through the program. When they aren't instructing, they're working out right next to you. You get a coach that's in your class for the whole 10 weeks to help you stay motivated and answer any questions you may have. There are 3 fitness tests during those 10 weeks. At the end of the 10 weeks the most improved male and female of each 10 week program wins $1,000. Seriously. With your enrollment you get a nutrition/workout manual, boxing gloves, and hand wraps. When I signed up it was about $360 for the 10 week session. What to expect: The first Saturday you will go to Farrell's for orientation. Your body will be measured. This includes body weight, BMI, and dimensions. They will take a before picture (Guys in shorts, ladies in shorts and tank/bikini). You will also do a step test to get your heart rates, and a reach test to check your flexibility. You will see how many situps and pushups you can do in a minute. Finally, you will run 1 mile outside. All new members do this. You will meet your coach and all of the new 10 weekers that will be in your class and going through the program with you. The nutrition program is explained to you, as well as how to put on your wraps and what to expect when you start the workouts. The first couple of weeks of workouts are focused on teaching the new 10 weekers the form and techniques of kickboxing and resistance training. The expectation is that you don't know anything about kickboxing or bands. The pace is slow and there are plenty of FIT members (graduates of the 10 week class that continue the program) that will help you and answer questions. You will be sore, and you will be tired, but everyone picks it up fairly quickly. As the 10 week program progresses, the workouts get more involved. With kickboxing you add in combinations of kicking and punching, aerobic sets in between combos, and 'fun fridays' that really push you. For resistance training you add circuits, drop sets, and super sets. At 5 weeks you take another fitness test to check your progress. The final test is at 10 weeks. There is a completion celebration that weekend when the winners are announced and everyone can appreciate their results. Why I like it: So if you've made it this far, the question is probably "So is this worth my time and money? Does it work?". My answer is unequivocally yes. During my 10 week session, I lost 20.5lbs. I'm much stronger. I shaved 1:30 off my mile time. I got great results, and so did most of the others in my session. I've tried some things in the past, but there are some reasons why I think this worked for me. First, staying motivated while working out is hard for me. This program kept the workouts interesting, and you had a support structure built in to get you to come to class. Everyone there is normal, and you don't have any of the gym rats or super buff people that often intimidate others. The $1,000 prize also provided motivation. I did not win the prize, but I felt that I could, and many others were in the same place. Like I said, everyone had great results. Second, the nutrition program wasn't a 'diet'. The program allowed you to still eat things you liked, but got you thinking about eating smarter. This is honestly where most of my weight loss probably came from. The meal plans and recipes made it easy to do, and even if you don't stick to it 100%, you'll still see some results. Finally, this program is fun. Kickboxing feels great, and the program makes it enjoyable (yes, enjoyable) to wake up at 5am. The way the program is set up you get to know and like the people you work out with. When you miss a day, people comment that they missed you at class. They motivate you to push harder and keep it fun. Farrell's worked great for me, and I've recommended it to everyone I know. If you're looking for something different from the normal gym, try this. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
