Taekwondo is a Korean martial art known for its emphasis on powerful high kicking and fast hand techniques. It combines combat and self-defense techniques with sport and exercise. At the same time, Taekwondo is a discipline that enhances our spirit and life through training our body and mind. The name Taekwondo is derived from the Korean words "Tae" meaning foot, "Kwon" meaning fist, and "Do" meaning way of.
Your reservation covers the whole facility, where your child becomes a "black belt" for a day and gets to be the special assistant to the Instructor. Opening fun and games are followed by pizza and then a full Taekwondo class that emphasizes the tenets of Taekwondo - Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit - all in a fun and safe setting!

They are just wonderful with the kids. My little one is in the Tiger Tots program and he has come out of his shell showing so much confidence! He looks forward to going to class and can't wait to share what he's learned. Thank you for making class fun while still teaching them the fundamentals and value that go along with Taekwondo!

My daughter has been going to DKFitness for a year and a half and has loved it the entire time. Not only does it provide structure for kids but they have great fun events on the side that the kids absolutely love! It’s great seeing my daughter go around the house practicing forms and snap kicks and reciting things she learned. I highly recommend DKFitness for anyone, especially kids who need something to focus on or confidence boost.

This is the only activity we felt comfortable with for our boys during the pandemic, and that is because this business is run well, with no tolerance for nonsense. My boys are expected to practice and behave according to values that we cultivate in the home too, and it means a lot to us that they have that reinforced outside the home as well, while doing an activity they love, makes them feel strong mentally and physically. I highly recommend this place and activity for helping kids develop confidence, learn patience, learn to follow directions and develop movement coordination.

Three of my kids are currently enrolled in the various programs at DK. Along with the martial arts skills, the instructors teach and reinforce discipline, having a positive attitude, and perseverance. We are very pleased with how the classes are run and look forward to watching our kids grow there.

Master Adam and Master Spiraza have been fantastic with our kids, instilling discipline and building their confidence. The Tiger Tots and Mighty Kickers classes are intense workouts that really build their strength and endurance too, which is sorely lacking during these times. We can’t wait to be back...

When I asked my daughter what class she would like to try this fall, she told me "martial arts." After reading a positive plug on an Arlington Heights moms Facebook page, we tried DK fitness. She has been more enthusiastic about "Warrior training" than any other class we have taken, and I am loving both the physical activity and the character-building that they do here. The instructors are really great with children. Lots of positive energy. I am hoping her enthusiasm continues for a long time because I'm loving the experience!

We could not be more thankful for DK Fitness Arts this year. Our kids continued their TKD training because of the amazing flexibility of our instructors to adapt to any situation, phase, or safety measure. They have gained confidence, discipline and new friends along the way. DK has become family, and we are very grateful!
