From the reviews
Absolutely BRILLIANT! Spectacular school!!! Master Kent is amazing with the Kidz. Our son began attending at 5 years old, it’s about to be our 1year anniversary attending and we could’nt be happier!!! Master Kent has a way of instructing the little ones. I love that they are learning so much.
We have been sending our three daughters to Tri-Star Martial Arts since March 2024, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Duane Brumitt is an exceptional teacher who truly cares about the children he works with. His enthusiasm for teaching respect and discipline is evident in every class.
Our children have attended classes at Tri-Star Martial Arts academy for over a year now, and we couldn't be happier. Master Kent is an AMAZING instructor; fun and relatable, yet also has a unique ability to garner true respect from his students. It is truly remarkable to watch.
I love this martial arts school for my four year old son. He has only been enrolled for a month now but has learned so much in so little time. What I like the most about this school is how patient the instructor and staff are with the little just starting.
Your first taekwondo class at Tri-Star Martial Arts Academy - New Lenox
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.
