My little ones have been going to karate since October. I have to say they love it here. My husband and I love it here. It is honestly a great little community. The staff is incredibly friendly. All of the teachers are patient and kind with the children. They really go out of their way to make sure each student understands the skills. My children always feel so comfortable when they are there, and I can see an improvement in behaviors at home because of the discipline karate teaches them.I also love that they offer events outside of just karate so you really do feel welcome all the time. If you are considering karate for yourself or your little ones, I would definitely recommend this location.

This is more than karate. It’s about kids growing up with discipline and confidence. It will help my 2 boys and girl through out their lives. This studio has the super-boy mentor, Michael, his mother, and the wonder staff.

National Karate is amazing! Everyone here is so nice and helpful with everything. My 6 year old loves it. Along with teaching the kids skills that will last, like bully defense, respect, and confidence, they do other things for the kids like “Pie your instructor Day!” I can’t say one bad thing about this place or anyone in it. We love it!

Each and every person who works here is a blessing. They show so much care in not only teaching the children martial arts, but also helping them develop a sense of self and responsibility. I love that my children get excited every time they go to karate and I’m incredibly grateful they have the opportunity to attend National Karate.

My daughter started at 6 years old and has enjoyed every minute of karate. Mr. Drescher genuinely cares about the kids and providing them with the skills they need to be successful. The office staff are helpful and friendly. We have never had a bad experience and are happy to have found this karate school.

My son started Karate at age 3. He loves Mr. Drescher. He was a very shy kid first few months, but with the help and support of Mr. Drescher and his staff, my son has come to love Karate. He wants to go to Karate everyday and gets excited on days when he has classes. He has learned valuable self-discipline, has become strong, focused and persistent. I'm so thankful for your entire team.

Here they treat you like family. Mr. Drescher is amazing on how he handles kids. My grandson looks forward to every class he is 5 yrs. old They even have events for the kids outside of karate class Cathy can answer any questions you may have. Kudos to this clan Jeff K

My son started here in October 2022 and we have had a great experience! All of the instructors are so great with the kids and have great communication with both the students and parents. My son loves it here!!

Mr. Drescher and his dedicated staff run an incredible karate school. They have very high standards, yet always make the classes accessible and enjoyable. My son has learned valuable self-discipline, goal-setting, and persistence in his 7 years of studying karate, and of course the physical fitness and self defense skills too. The prices are reasonable and there are many opportunities for students to serve as volunteer leaders as well. Overall a wonderful organization!

Mr. Drescher is a natural born leader. The way he interacts with our daughter along with every student is AMAZING! I still cant get over how he remembers students name in every class. Watching our daughter become a confident determined young women is largely owed to The National Karate School and Mr. Drescher for their leadership and guidance. This was by far one of the best things we did early on for our child. Thank Again and we look forward to the continuing success of our child through this..

My son has been going to National Karate in South Elgin for 3 1/2 years now and it has been such a wonderful experience for him. Mr. Drescher, Ms. Oie, Mr. Rojas and Mr. Wilkins are amazing. They do more than just teach karate, they have also provided life lessons, discipline and have given him more confidence. I wouldn't trade our experience for anything and look forward to continuing this adventure with our karate family.

So far my son is enjoying National Karate in Bartlett very much! The instructors are very helpful and attentive to the kids in the class.

My daughter's experience with National Karate has been fantastic. The curriculum that Mr. Drescher and his fellow instructors oversee is excellent, and they are genuinely committed to fostering a positive learning atmosphere! Their proficiency in instructing children of various age groups and keeping older students on course for black belts is outstanding. He possesses a wonderful ability to instill in children the discipline required to succeed in life beyond karate. My daughter and our family are greatly blessed with Mr. Drescher and the other staff members at south Elgin National Karate who make every class engaging and enjoyable in addition to being educational.

Fantastic program! Mr Drescher and staff are dedicated beyond belief to building the skills and confidence kids so strongly need. We are very grateful to be a part of the South Elgin NK family.

My son has been involved for a few years now, and we couldn't be happier with the staff, and how far he has progressed. This is a wonderful institution, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Martial Arts.
