We LOVE these classes and all the different aspects of life our child learns! This has improved manners, listening skills, responsibilities, independence and so much more! Definately recommend 😉

Felt very organized and planned out. I appreciate that Ms Kent takes time with each student for their promotions to make them feel special and accomplished. And thank you for the pictures!

We always love class!!! Ms. Kent has a way with the kids!! She makes class fun for the kids.

Self defense.. Bullying and taking care of friends or siblings great lesson thank you!

I feel you handled the kids’ decreased motivation well due to the weather. They were wrangled back into focus very well. We enjoyed kicking/hitting practice with parents and had fun breaking practice boards.

It’s been a wonderful experience I have seen this class show me a positive and rewarding side in my son behavior he is engaging in the exercises that are shown to him and doing well with the class itself I am just overall happy with his class.

You handled their antsy-ness very well. It felt like an off day for everyone and they still got a lot done during class. Thank you!

Scott had a great time! He really enjoyed working with his peers one on one.

I felt my daughter was very engaged and enjoyed class.

Charlotte is completely enjoying her experience at AKF.

My daughter had a great time and I felt you kept the class engaged very well despite their antsy-ness

Thank you for all that you do and all of the patience you have for the little ones! Our son is surprising us with his listening skills and keeps improving each class. Thank you!!

The one great thing about the kids being full of giggles is that you know they’re comfortable and having a great time with you and their friends 🙂

I have raised four children and ran a licensed daycare from home when my kids were young. Over the years, I’ve cared for 25 foster children. Additionally, I’ve worked in public schools and the Head Start program. Currently, I have 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. I believe these experiences qualify me to comment on this topic. I think you’re doing an excellent job setting goals with these children. This opinion isn’t just based on your words here; one of my sons was in your class several years ago, and now one of my grandsons is involved at the Lake Villa center. Great job! You’re not trying to replace parents, but rather complement the training children receive at home.

I felt the kids were challenged in yesterday’s class and that’s awesome, Lily really enjoyed it. I’m loving the new Resources page btw too 🙂 so much easier for me to find dates/info

We always love class! Ms. Kent has a way with the kids. She makes class fun for them!

I think the kids were taught some great life lessons today learning about the Korean language. I also want to note I absolutely LOVE having the resources page! I can keep much better track of dates now.

Breaking boards is always fun.

My kids really enjoyed the breaking boards!

I felt my daughter was very engaged and enjoyed class. She had a great time and I felt you kept the class engaged very well despite their antsy-ness. I thought it was great how you easily pivoted once you found they weren’t super focused. Also, we enjoyed kicking/hitting practice with parents and had fun breaking practice boards.

My 3 year old girl loves coming here. Ms Kent is a gifted teacher with both a fun and scientific approach to training a child’s mind, body, and spirit. I give her so much applause for her ability to connect with toddlers who as we all know are notorious for not listening. Highly recommend for all children of any age. There is a nice community here too of kind and understanding parents who are all going through the same struggles. The gym is nice and cozy. My daughter has improved much since starting and it is a priority now for us to continue this fun and helpful journey together.

It’s been a wonderful experience. I have seen this class show me a positive and rewarding side in my son’s behavior. He is engaging in the exercises that are shown to him and doing well with the class itself. I am just overall happy with his class!

Scott had a great time! He came running into the house last night to tell me he broke a board. Also, he really enjoyed working with his peers one on one. Thank you for building Scott’s confidence. He really looks forward to class.

They are very good. Love all the kids that are in it.

Fun and friendly teachers and students. Teaches discipline in a fun atmosphere.

Love it, great instructors! Learned a lot and gained a new family 😁

This place is amazing! My son has been here since he was 4 1/2 years old and he is testing for his black belt in November!!!

My 4 year old grandson has been taking lessons here for a few months. He has learned so much and absolutely loves it. The instructor is outstanding! Highly recommend!

It’s not a secret how I feel about AKF Martial Arts of Delavan, L.L.C, James (my son) has had his life changed by all of the mental and physical skills that he’s has learned on his journey to becoming a Black Belt. There are always bumps in the road but I see these children treated with the utmost respect and kindness. I pay 135 a month plus the extras and it is worth every penny to invest in my son’s future. Ms. Taylor Kent you are doing an incredible job. As you said you can’t keep everyone happy all the time. In my opinion AKF is top notch. Proud AKF parent!!!

We absolutely LOVE AKF and the staff. My son started there non verbal and didn’t participate. Fast forward to today and he’s a willing participant, vocal and wanting to help do demonstrations. We have never had a problem and if there ever is Ms.Kent is super easy to talk to before and after class and if she’s busy you can always call/email/message her and she responds right away! I tell people all the time how great the school is and we see wonderful things out of not only are son but others in class. I read the review with one star and I totally respect people opinions and think all reviews are important but I will comment on a couple things. Classes are expensive totally agree but most sports are and the extras are just that extras it’s a business and if they want to grow and have certain things you have those extras people can purchase if they want but it’s not required, your told before you sign up on costs on everything you do need, when classes are canceled due to weather or instructors are gone for tournament they do 90% of the time schedule make up times and post them on the website and fliers in the building. As far as kid’s behaviors it’s actually one of my favorite things about the school they take EVERY range of child/kid, in my sons 4 year old class you have kids all over the board mixed in. I think Kent does an amazing job of being comforting but firm at the same time with the kids, she doesn’t let them get away with things but gives them choices on how they can fix it and if they don’t fix it it’s no sticker (for not listening) and/or no stripe (for not participating) I love watching how she interacts with the children who are having a hard time because she’s really good at it like really good, she never holds it against them and if they start off rough and get better she easily changes course and flows them into whatever there working on and does allow them to demonstrate because they obviously realize what they were doing wasn’t ok and are now ready to go. Does this interrupt class sure for a second but never to the point when it’s an issue. She keeps the class moving and going forward I’ve never seen her completely stop a class for over 2 minutes. Most family’s there who’s kids do have difficulties are there for that reason and the staff knows about and I’ve seen them talk with the family as a whole on how things are going at home/school. Classes with 3/4 year olds and the 5/6 year olds are not supposed to go perfect it’s building skills that their learning not only for the child but for the parent/family as well. Martial Arts isn’t just about becoming the next Karate Kid it’s about learning, discipline, respect of yourself and other. I think there doing a fantastic job and can not wait to see what the future of the school holds.

My son Nick has been part of this class for about a year. It has built his confidence up so much. It has been one of the best things for him. They have flexible hours and days to make it easy on working parents. So happy to be part of this.

My son has been part AKF Martial Arts in Delavan for 2 years. Dakota has made so any improvements in attitude and respect, self discipline and confidence, we love watching Dakota continue to work hard and grow into an amazing young man!!! The instructors have been great to work with never do they expect perfect but only to do your best and strive to learn! I can not say enough about our AKF family!!!!

My kiddos love the classes. My daughter has found her voice and confidence. My son has had massive improvement with his behavior.

My son started with AKF of Delavan when he turned 7, he is now 11 and promoting to Black Belt in November. We have been so pleased with Ms. Kent and the rest of the staff. I have seen so much improvement in my son’s confidence and we continue to work with him daily. The students and families are so friendly and encouraging. This has been one of the best decisions we made for our family. 4 years and still going strong!
