Love it here!

It helps my son focus on something that he can take pride in as he progresses.

Brian Van Patten is an amazing Martial Arts teacher, trainer and Master! I began training here over 6 years ago, after a 20 year hiatus from the martial arts. I can tell you the masters, instructors and faculty are truly committed to the success of the students. Achieving my Black Belt was a major mile stone for me and I can tell you it wouldnt of happened with out their dedication and leadership. The fact is having trained at other schools, its clear that USA Martial Arts in Antioch, looks to develop all its students, who are willing, to become the best martial artists they can be.

I joined Master Van Pattens USA Martial Arts academy in Antioch, IL about two years ago after taking a martial arts class at the Lindenhurst Park District with my 7 year old son. The park district program was run by a karate school from Mount Prospect and was a simplistic punching and kicking school. The classes did nothing to inspire us mentally or spiritually and we both found the workout mild.USA Martial Arts is dedicated to making me and my son not just a better skilled martial artist, but a better person. I have seen a great improvement in my son’s desire to do better in school and at home. It is exciting to watch him develop and grow as a person and an athlete. Since joining USA Martial Arts I have lost 25 lbs and I have kept the weight off. I love the workouts. I love the camaraderie with the other students. And I love how USA Martial Arts combines modern training methods with tradition, old world, martial arts mind, body and soul training.

My son attends USA Martial Arts, and has a wonderful experience! A great friendly crowd, that helps to build remarkable life values. Master Van Pattten goes above an beyond to provide a very welcoming environment for all. Highly recommended!!

Discipline,Confidence Respect just to name a few of the qualities and life skills that my children have learned in the couple of months we have been with the USA Martial Arts family. Master Van Patten and his team are EXCELLENT with both Children and Adults. They treat everyone with respect.

This is a good place to workout, particularly compared to other options in the area. There is a good variety of well maintained equipment and it is never overly crowded.

Anytime my mother tells me she doesnt feel comfortable taking my brother somewhere its highly upsets me. From what I understand this place made her feel left out and not supported in anyway. Even though all money is green maybe it matters to them the hand that is giving it. When I get back in town Ill check it out for myself. If anything changes Ill update my review. For now one star.

We have been members of USA Martial Arts for about 1 year and half and we use every opportunity to tell parents how wonderful the place and people are. We are a hispanic family and my husband is a disabled Veteran and we feel right at home with the instructors and other families. So much so that we are there 4-5x a week. I love to see how they are always making improvements as they take pride in their place and service. In addition, to the awesome classes, they do many extra events for the kids like parents night out (Ninja night). It has been and continues to be an amazing experience for our two boys (11) & (8). They have and continue to learn more than how to do an awesome flying kick but also they are learning the black belt attitude which includes being disciplined, respectful, motivated, considerate of others, and still have fun. Perfect for our boys that we are raising to be positive members of their community. We drive past many other available martial arts places but we take the extra drive to go to USAMA.

My kids and I love U.S.A Martial Arts, Instructor is always willing to help before and after your classes. Always ask about your well being and when we are loosing energy and focus hes always there to boost us up and get us on track again. Will continue to be a part of this place.

My daughter has been in the Tigers program for the last two years. She has gained a lot of self confidence and perseverance under Master Van Pattens tutelage. She has moved steadily up through her belt training and has always received extra help when requested or needed.

My boys have been training at USA Martial Arts for over a year...Master Van Patterson and his instructors are awesome with the kids, always willing to teach their students what it takes in becoming a martial artist.

I have been classes here for years with my son and daughter. Its a great place to learn taekwondo.
