IN THEIR WORDS

Real Stories, Real Results

Hear directly from WK families about the difference Taekwondo has made.

Before

Danica wanted to try something different from the usual swimming or tennis classes for her three-year-old and eight-year-old.

After

Both kids are progressing every week at their own level, building strength, focus, and teamwork, with those same skills carrying over at home.

“I see a lot of the skills getting carried over into the home setting.”

Danica — Parent

Before

Yoko's son Jordan struggled badly in his very first tryout class — she even told staff it was okay if he wasn't ready.

After

Jordan has come a long way and built real confidence. Yoko, who used to skip PE in high school, has built her own confidence training alongside him.

“He really come a long way, especially his confidence. And it's built mine as well.”

Yoko — Parent

Before

Chirag wanted his two sons to learn self-defense, but more importantly discipline and consideration for others. They were a little nervous starting out.

After

Now they're excited to come every week, and the discipline they're learning carries home and into school.

“Now they're actually excited to come every week.”

Chirag — Parent

Questions

Questions Parents Ask Us

How much does Taekwondo cost at WK Martial Arts in Schaumburg?

Tuition depends on how many classes a week your child attends and is billed every two weeks. A one-time enrollment fee covers your child's first uniform, belt and training videos. We share exact tuition at your complimentary trial class, so you can see a class first and choose the plan that fits your family.

What age can my child start?

Our Super Kids program is for ages 3 to 6, and a parent trains alongside their child. Youth classes are for ages 6 to 11. Teen and Adult classes are for ages 11 and up.

My child is shy or nervous. Is this a good fit?

Many of our students started that way. Every instructor learns every student's name, and parents are welcome to watch the first class. There is no obligation.

What happens in the complimentary class?

It is one 40-minute class. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and bring a water bottle. Your child trains with the class, and afterward we talk with you about what you saw and whether WK is right for your family.

Is there a contract? How do I cancel?

There is an initial commitment of two months. After that, cancelling or holding takes 30 days' written notice. A hold can last up to three months with no re-enrollment fee.

When are classes, and where are you?

Classes run Monday through Saturday, in the afternoon and evening. We are at 718 E Schaumburg Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60194. Families reserve classes in the Spark Student App. Call (847) 287-6810 or book your complimentary trial class at schaumburgmartialarts.com/trial.
