Edit: Below, you will find my review from 6 years ago! I still feel the same way about MBD. Many things have changed in the 6 years since I wrote that review, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for Sensei Michelle, Sensei Mike and the entire MBD family. My child is now getting ready to test for their black belt this fall/winter. The skills, lessons, and family we have all gained by being part of this dojo is something I will always appreciate.

We started at MBD in January 2019. At the time my son was five. In November my daughter started to go as well. Sensei Michelle and her team are amazing. They are encouraging, caring and agile. The belt tests every couple of months have been very motivating for our children; and have definitely built their confidence. During COVID-19, I have been amazed with their service and how they shifted to a virtual program. This has kept our children active and engaged in karate. We love this Dojo!!!

One of the best decisions I have made for my two boys was signing them up for karate at MBD. This is more than just a karate class! My boys have gained confidence in themselves as well as working on karate and self-defense. The atmosphere is family oriented and structured with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. I highly recommend this karate dojo!!

Great martial arts gym for all ages. Their kids Karate classes are fantastic! I enrolled my 6 year old daughter about 2 months ago and she loves it!! I joined shortly after in the hopes of keeping her interested and now we're both hooked! They have Krav Bag and Kick Boxing fitness classes that I promise will be the best cardio you ever had!!

I personally love this Martial Arts school. I have visited many Martial Arts schools and one thing I can really appreciate is that the people who are in charge, know what they are doing. I have 24 years of Martial Arts training on a high level and can definitely say these people are professional! They have an amazing kids program. The kids learn self defense, Krav Maga, Karate, and discipline. On top of it all, they are very nice, welcoming with no ego whatsoever! The gym is clean and very organize which is very important for me. I highly recommend people in the area of Chicago to come and train

Great place for kids to not only learn karate but also vital life lessons. Sensei Michelle is an excellent teacher and mentor for the kids, she strives for them to always be their best. The other black belts and class leaders are great with the kids, very helpful and encouraging when teaching new moves.

I've been part of the MBD Family for 10 years now. It has influenced me and my life greatly. Great school, with amazing instructors and a great place for kids and adults to learn Martial Arts. Not only do we learn Martial Arts but we work on real life survival skills. The curriculum is great and the schedule is very flexible. Sensei Michelle is an amazing sensei and treats everyone as family. I love this place so much and I highly recommend it! :)

I love this place! A lot of classes offered to fit busy lifestyles. Teachers are great! They really care about children and their well-being. In addition to a great approach with martial arts, they also concentrate on children's self esteem, self defense, dealing with bullying, discipline, listening skills, and much more! I love how they change up classes so they don't always do the same thing. Little boys and girls love that!
