Kyuki-do Martial Arts Crystal Lake has been proudly serving Crystal Lake, McHenry, Cary, Algonquin, Lake in the Hills, Oakwood Hills, the Village of Lakewood, Ridgefield, and surrounding areas since 1981 as a family martial arts school and academy. The program is led by Master Norris. Programs for 3 to 6 year olds are described as addressing core childhood development skills such as listening, coordination, and self-control, and classes help improve coordination and focus for kids in this age group. Programs for 7+ year olds are described as addressing core childhood development skills such as discipline, sharing, and self-control, and the group setting provides structure to help children improve listening skills while using up their energy in a structured environment and making new friends. Kyuki-do Martial Arts classes at this academy are described as focusing on developing a strong “Yes I Can” attitude, teaching determination and pushing through when things get difficult, instilling confidence by standing tall, making eye contact, and speaking with a strong voice, and building focus and listening skills so kids do a better job at home and at school. The academy describes itself as the #1 choice for kids’ martial arts in Crystal Lake, with a family-friendly schedule and class times, a supportive and active community, development of vital life skills, and family and kids martial arts in the Crystal Lake area, and notes that martial arts require strength and endurance and help children enjoy being active, with kids feeling like real ninjas.
Parents describe their experiences in several testimonials. One parent, David M., shares that he has three kids enrolled (ages 3, 5, and 7) since October, that they all love it, and that he highly recommends the academy for anyone looking for a martial arts school in the Crystal Lake/McHenry area, especially for help with building confidence, self-control, focus, and discipline for kids of all ages. Danielle M. describes the programs as great, with positive energy and family orientation, and says kids are building confidence and leadership roles while having fun at the same time. Amanda A. says her 3-year-old daughter loves the classes and that she appreciates the values taught, along with the physical skills and self confidence the program builds in the kids. A Lotesto says that Master Norris is “awesome with all of the kids,” that he takes time to encourage each child individually and make them feel great, that every class starts with a chant about being a good person, and that classes end with telling each child what they did well in that session; this parent also notes emotional positives, physical fitness practiced in each session, training that is difficult and impressive to watch for kids this young, and classes that are always engaging and purposeful, calling it an overall awesome experience and encouraging everyone to try it. Jeremy M. says his 6-year-old son loves it, that he enjoys watching it more than some other options, and that there is light interaction for adults as well, describing it as good discipline and good fun. Marielle S. says her son loves coming to martial arts, that Master Norris is amazing with her son and has helped him gain core strength and confidence, and that they look forward to seeing what else he picks up from training there.
