My 3 children have been students at Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin for the past 2 years, working through their black belt leadership program. My kids range in age from 16 - 7 years, 2 girls and a boy, and I love that they are able to train together in this program as they learn from each other's strengths and help…

★★★★★ — Kate, Mar 2019

My son Karthik has been attending Kyuki-Do in Elgin for a few years now, and the improvement we’ve seen in him has been truly incredible. Not only has he become physically stronger, but his focus, confidence, and self-discipline have grown tremendously.

★★★★★ — Pavan, Nov 2025

Kyuki-Do Elgin has been an incredible experience for my son. We enrolled him hoping he would gain some confidence and learn a few martial arts skills — but what he has gained is so much more. Week after week, we’ve watched him grow into a more focused, disciplined, and resilient kid.

Your first taekwondo class at Kyuki-Do Martial Arts of Elgin

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
