We have been beyond thrilled with our experience at TM Martial Arts. The instructors are wonderful and it is obvious that Master Harrison cares about all of his students. I love watching my son learn about martial arts and all the responsibilities that go along with it. This program is focused on the whole person with both skill and character development, and that is why we love it so much!

We enrolled both our boys into this TKD program about two years ago. The TMMA team works quite efficiently and are very dedicated to each student. They have been professional, courteous, compassionate and dynamically capable of handling whatever challenges may come to ensure that the students still benefit from their training and continue moving forward. Master Harrison, seems to value empowering the next generation with the skills and training required to become great teachers...that's pretty big in my books. He shines the light on the leaders of the school and encourages them to become better

My son has been a member of the TM martial arts family for over 3 years. My son loves the program and the instructors. He's gained so much self confidence. The program really holds the children accountable and helps make them into well rounded karate students and people. They have been nothing short of amazing!!

My son Warren is 4, he started when he was 3, and he absolutely loves going to class. It gives him a strong sense of pride and accomplishment and is helping him learn about self care and discipline, not to mention physical health and self defense.
The teachers are all also students and they do a fantastic job connecting with the kids on a personal level; making it friendly and fun, but they also push them to do better in positive ways.
I really look forward to continuing our journey with the TM family and Warren for years to come!

EVERYONE at TM Martial Arts is just so welcoming and always have answers to any of our questions. We just recently signed our 4 yr old son and he LOVES it. My husband and I are thrilled that he looks forward to his classes and the teachers. This will benefit him for the rest of his life. It's truly a great experience with great people!

They’re unlike any other taekwondo/karate school, TM martial arts has a curriculum they follow that helps students learn the disciple and the skills. My 4yo son loves it there that it’s important he should not miss a class even when he’s sick. He made a lot of friends and is always looking forward for the next skill they will be working on. Instructors are consistent and always helpful.

Our daughter has been going to TM for almost a year now. It's been really quite amazing to watch her develop to this point, not only physically, but mentally as well. Going into the program, she completely lacked self confidence. Not really a problem anymore. There really isn't enough nice things to say about the Staff at TM. We had been strongly considering relocating to Indiana over the Summer due to our outrageous Illinois taxes..
But the bond my daughter has been able to build with her instructors kind of threw a wrench in that idea. There are martial arts schools everywhere, but the connection

My son has been a student in the past and more recently I have attended self defense classes for women that were very informative. Master Harrison and his staff are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and friendly. TM Martial Arts provides classes and programs for people of all ages. What I admire the most is that not only do they teach martial arts but they focus on the importance of what it is to be a good person and to always do the right thing.

Great program! I enrolled my 12 year old son in the taekwondo program, because I wanted him to gain better confidence, focus, and attention. Having been diagnosed with processing disorder and attention deficit, I hoped the structure and discipline of martial arts would help my son overcome some of his weaknesses. Sure enough, his teachers and I have seen a marked improvement in his focus and performance at school. He still struggles at home, but the "Student Home Rules" have been a great tool for him to follow. Nothing valuable is gained overnight...true growth and progress takes time

My son has never been in a sport none the less martial arts he just turned 4. Went through the trail I know theer are a lot of rules and something my some would have to learn as he went. But on the first day to have the owner keep shaking his head and give dirty looks if he wasn't doing what he was supposed to really bothered me. He even came and yelled at my daughter who was just watching with me, for tapping on the mat (softly) I wanted my son to get discipline but not in a mean way like that. The instructors were great really friendly and had the patients and same with the lady in the front
