I am always greeted by warm smiles and friendly conversations. The staff does an amazing job of making everyone feel welcome. After School Program: I absolutely LOVE the KI After School Program! The counselors are amazing people! They are always kind and they pay attention to detail. My son looks forward to coming every single day. They always help him with any questions he has. When he needs help with homework, they are in top of it! Each day they are provided with a nutritious snack that kids love. They pick up at school and that is beyond helpful since I can not get out of work to pick him up myself. I am AMAZED that the counselors know the name of every single kid that walks in, knowing they have an average of over 100 kids each day. The fact that my son feels at home when he is at the after school program, makes me feel at ease throughout the day.

Over the past year, we have seen tremendous growth--not only in her martial arts skills, but also in her patience, confidence, maturity, and overall character. One of the things we have appreciated most is seeing her develop a genuine desire to help lead and support the younger children in the program. She has become more patient and encouraging, and it has been wonderful to watch her take on more responsibility and serve as a positive role model for others. We are grateful to the instructors and the program for providing an environment that encourages discipline, leadership, respect, and personal growth. We highly recommend Total Impact to any family looking for a program that will help their child grow physically, mentally and personally.

Kiyaaaaa!!!!!!! The Karate Kid has nothing on my kid!…read more My 6 year old just recently started taking classes from Yong-In Yu's Martial Arts. We were told about local places through rec centers, but I wanted a place that was an actual dojo, not some gym. How are you supposed to take something seriously if it's in a gymnasium? The dojo gives my son an understanding that this is something real, not just the latest Ninjago episode. When I originally checked out the dojo, we signed up for the trial where you get the uniform and three classes. That way, you can see if this is going to be a fit for your kid or not. The location can't be beat, and there's a Starbucks right next door. Anyone who knows me that I'm a Starbucks addict. And being able to walk over here during class and just relax is an incredible bonus. When else am I supposed to catch up on work. (OK... the latest issue of People magazine. But who's telling?) I didn't know much about Master Yu initially, but he really has impressed me. My kid has some sensory issues, and so I was concerned if this was going to be a fit. Sometimes he just can't handle loud noises and can feel crowded. Master Yu listened, figured out what worked and before I knew it, my Vman was falling in line and LOVING it. Yes, Sir! Yes, Ma'am! Vman is learning respect for his teachers, how to think and focus on what he's doing and work with the others in his class, too. Now, he is six, so I'm not kidding myself. He still goofs around, just like ALL the other kids his age. But I can see that they are all very excited to get to class and get started. One thing that made it hard to sign up was you have to sign a one-year contract. Ouch. If you don't know that this is a long-term thing, you can sign up for monthly classes but they are more expensive. Also, if you sign up for a year, you can only go to two classes a week. If I get a gym membership I can come whenever I want. However, if you sign up for two years, you can go as often as you want. I'm not saying I'm going to go all gung-ho on my kid, (you know, those psycho parents who are like... you WILL like Tae Kwon Do. You WILL like it. You WILL succeed) but knowing that if my kid wants to go to extra classes in the week we can would be a great option. That said, Master Yu is a serious Tae Kwon Do master -- not just some dude who likes martial arts and thought he would open a dojo. In fact, I'm not sure how he ended up in the NorthShore. Here's some of his RSV.... graduated from Yong-In University with a master degree in Tae Kwon Do (didn't know master degrees existed for martial arts); 6th Degree Black Belt; 5 time National Korean National Champion. Yong-In is a terrific place for your kid to learn a sport, get more control and absolutely love it along the way. I highly recommend checking it out... just peek in like I did to see a class if you're wondering.

The Masters are absolutely amazing. They are true teachers and not babysitters. They are tough yet caring. They give each individual child the attention they need. Not only do they teach the traditional Taekwondo routines, they also teach real life scenario defense moves. The price is very reasonable and the class days and times should be able to match most busy schedules. I highly recommend Dragon k for anyone, child or adult, looking to enhance their skills, increase discipline and strength, agility, and of course, self-defense.
