    We have been part of the Fonseca family for over 3 years now. Sensei Jaime has an amazing ability…read moreto joke / mess around with the kids while still requiring them to focus and do their best while in class. 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.

    On a whim we did a free introductory karate class at Fonseca in Evanston. Seeing our son with as…read moremuch intensity and focus as he had during that first class was inspiring! 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!"

My son Rocco has been attending Summit classes since August 2016 and has not only slimmed down CONSIDERABLY, he has found balance; both on his feet and in his level of self confidence. His progress and performance in TKD have been consistantly remarkable. I can say, without reservation, that the effects of my son's new focus on health and school have paid dividends that far overshadow the cost of enrollment and his understanding of the concept of "success by merit" is priceless in an "everyone gets a trophy" world. The levels of concentration and discipline present in a class of 6 - 15 year olds still occaisionally leaves me in awe. I have been training Law Enforcement for 14 years. I sometimes feel like I have spent my entire adult life teaching officers and instructors the nuances of interpersonal violence. In that time I have experienced every shade of talent and capability in the world of trainers. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such an incredible TKD studio in Park Ridge!

    I paid for a two week trial, my 8 year old is a beginner white belt. The Master is a very focused,…read moretalented instructor who puts kids of all ages through their paces. He is both supportive and challenging, a great teacher. The fees are very reasonable for the amount of instruction time he offers - he wants to see as much of his students as they can commit, it's a flat monthly fee. It seems like his students have lots of opportunities to attend competitions if they choose.

The new facility is HUGE, a definite upgrade over the old place. Not only is there more mat space but a weights area and heavy bags. More than one classes can run at the same time which means a larger variety of classes, more advanced level Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and even two dedicated MMA classes a week. What has NOT changed is the quality of instruction, the friendly, laid back atmosphere and it's competition focus. All of the instructors there are really laid back-there are no formalities here, which makes it really easy to ask them for help with techniques or questions about how to do moves. Walk up to anyone for help or even some practice and they'll be more than happy to do so. A couple months ago, Mark the head instructor said it best: "this isn't a business, it's a family." You can tell from the beginning that this isn't just a school to just learn but a place where people come together to share a common interest, almost like a clubhouse. While I like the new facility and the space what I'm going to miss most is the people I get to see week after week.
