We love coming to US Elite. The entire team lives by the values they teach the kids: respect, communication, discipline etc.This is the one activity our boys actually LOVE! They love working towards earning stripes for their belts and having a belt graduation is always so fun and they feel so proud of themselves. Super confidence booster. They also have activities outside their class time to engage the kids in multi-dimensional ways.

My daughter has been going to US Elite for the past one and half years. She loves it there. The teachers are so professional and they know how to keep my kid engaged. They teach so many life skills, like honesty, discipline, leadership and more. I never thought online classes would work for taekwondo. But somehow they make it work. I would like to thank all the teachers who put in so much effort to teach my kid. I have already recommended my friends to enroll their kids in US Elite.

My son has been attending U.S. ELITE MARTIAL ARTS AND FITNESS CENTER for six years . He loves it and we, as parents appriciate and admire this palce.It is very well orginized.Personal approach , moral values and integrity- these are the qualities of the center. Especialy during difficult times of pandemic last year and this year, the center proved itself being the best in the area. They have been working non stop via ZOOM , offering individual classes and moral support for the kids.Master Mr.Greer always has time to talk to the kids and the center manager Mrs. Greer, works patiently with parents and participents.The small bussines like that, are the core of America, they should be greatly supported and recognized by the comunity and by the goverment.Small bussines are the core of this counrty.

If you are looking for a martial arts school, look no further! My son just achieved his black belt, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience. The staff is amazing, and so dedicated to their students. They offer on-line training as well, which has been wonderful during the pandemic. They teach leadership and life skills in addition to the physical training, which has been invaluable to us. I’ve seen my son grow in so many ways - confidence, respect, discipline, communication skills, and maturity. He will continue his training here for as long as he can!!

We’ve been part of the U.S Elite Martial Arts & Fitness Center for a few years.Master Greer, Mrs. Greer and their dedicated staff have always exceeded expectations.The martial arts program is well-structured and the instructors keep the students motivated and push them to do the best.Along with martial arts training, students are taught life skills and leadership skills as well.The kickboxing program for adults is intense & an excellent workout.When we were hit with the shelter-in-place order, it was amazing how quickly, without missing a beat, Master Greer & team moved to virtual classes. They kept the momentum going with a virtual belt graduation for the students. The ‘awesomest’ moment for my kids was when Master & Mrs. Greer came in person to deliver their certificate & belt!Highly recommend! 🌟

We have been a part of the US Elite family for over two years. The owners truly create a family environment with Master Greer leading instruction and his wife Mrs. Greer leading the front desk operation. Their young staff are thoughtful, outgoing, engaged, and extremely hardworking individuals who have risen through the ranks of martial arts to black belt providing the “yes I can” attitude and mentality of the school.Our son started in the little ninjas program for 4-5 year olds and was quickly hooked on the fun, fast paced class that introduced the fundamentals of martial arts in an age appropriate setting. Upon graduating to the martial arts program, he transitioned easily even though some of his peers were older due to the culture of the school the Greers have created.Covid has obviously made things different for US Elite but what hasn’t changed is the Greer’s commitment to their students and families. They have been initiative with their offerings and keep developing new ways to help their students succeed. After a virtual belt ceremony in the spring, Master Greer dropped off my son’s new belt and certificate. This is was a highlight of the shelter in place order for my son.US Elite is truly a gem in our community not only helping our children succeed but supporting our elementary school’s PTO. We wish them much success and recommend you give them a try, we promise you won’t be disappointed!

My son started with US Elite about a year ago. We’ve been very happy there. The instructors are great and keep the kids engaged and motivated. They also teach valuable life skills that translate at home and at school, with the goal being to shape future leaders. Belt testing keeps my son motivated with short-term goals that are achievable. His focus and confidence have improved since he started, and I like the emphasis on both physical and mental toughness. It’s clear Master Greer and the staff has a vested interest in seeing students succeed in and outside of class.

Hands down the absolute best workout. I have been looking for a place which is high intensity along with teaching sound principles about kicking and punching. Thank you master Greer for pushing me to become by best fit self.

Weve been going to US Elite for over 4 years. My one son has earned his black belt and my other his red. We enjoy the discipline of the classes, the focus and confidence it gives our kids. The staff is great, always willing to discuss how theyre doing. The atmosphere is very friendly. My boys have really enjoyed the extras as well...Skills and Stripes classes, mini camps over spring break and Christmas break. They love Parents Night Out (and so do we!). Would definitely recommend.

I have both my kids attending taekwondo classes for 2+ years. We always felt the center is focused on the money making only, my kids really not getting better at all. We knew the kids dont practice at home, and despite knowing the kids really not learning much, we kept sending them as they enjoy going there (as they go with their friends). We usually pay for the full year to take advantage of the discount they offer. When COVID-19 hit, we knew the online classes are not for our kids and asked for a pro-rated refund, for which he said no. When I told him I am going to alert others on their practices, he left me a lengthy voicemail that i am extorting him and seriously mischaracterized my messages. He might be right on their policy of no refunds, which might have been buried in the fine print, but I am not sending my kids back there again. Make sure to get anything in writing if you negotiate any special terms or deal.

Paul and I are so glad we started the Kickboxing classes at U.S. Elite in Arlington Hts.!We both have seen really great results with weight loss and great over all feelings of well-being--and we only started in January! We are 55 and 56 years old and we are treated so wonderfully by the staff and the clients.Virgil and his wife have provided every accommodation to make us feel like we are valued customers--great price and great attention to our needs as we got started.I encourage any age to check it out. You will be so glad you did!Betsy Reynolds

This place is GREAT!! The kids martial arts program AND the adult kick-boxing classes are awesome. I think what really sets this place apart though aside from the great classes are the owners and instructors. They really care about their students and are dedicated to making both kids and adults stronger, more confident and better people. Highly recommend checking this place out.

The people and programs at US Elite Martial Arts has been a most positive influence for my son. He loves how it makes him feel strong and confident, and I love experiencing his improvement of skills and self discipline. The life skills Master Greer incorporates into his classes are awesome. I feel our quality of life has been increased dramatically by this school. Thank you so much!!

I drove by the place everyday in the past few years, and when a parent from my daughters school recommended it, I decided to give it a try. I was in for a nice surprise 🙂 It is a family run business not a chain, so the approach is very personal. Master Virgil Greer is the owner/instructor who runs the establishment with his wife, Malwina. Both are highly passionate about martial arts and it shows. In just few months, my 8-yr old daughter has become more focused and disciplined than ever! yes mom has been a norm now where no was more frequent answer before... What really makes it worthwhile is that my child is truly looking forward to her classes, no dragging her feet there! and she gets highly motivated when achieving higher levels in martial arts ranking. Oh, did I mention the kick-in-your-butt kickboxing classes for adults?? Well, all I am going to say is come and check out for yourself! This is a life changing class, where no class is alike and variety of exercises give your body a total workout. Not to mention the continuous motivation, support and healthy eating advice... its like having a personal trainer for a fraction of price. So, if you are new to working out or are tired with your current workout regimen that does not give you the desired results, this is the place for you!!

Very impressed with this place. We have our 5 year old in little ninjas and I join our 8 year old in the family class. They are very good and very patience with the children (and me too!). I love how serious they are to teach in class and very friendly and curtious outside of class. There is a sense of family and passion here which I found out later was because the young instructors grew up learning from the passionate and caring Master Virgil. And now they do an excellent job paying it forward to our kids along with Master Virgil. I recommend US Elite MA and its excellent staff to anyone.

US Elite martial arts school is not just an excellent Taekwondo school. It’s a school where they go beyond the kicks and punches to do character shaping and adding life skills - communication, respect, hard work, etc. The staff at US elite led by Master Greer are excellent; they are friendly and totally focused on every kid. I think choosing US Elite for my son is one of the best things I could have done for him. A big cheer to Master Greer for the wonderful work he is doing for the local community and I wish him and his team the very best .

I can’t say enough positive things about our time at US Elite. Master Greer, Malwina, and all of their instructors are top shelf. They care deeply about their students, and are complete professionals. My son has enjoyed his time with them immensely, and I would recommend the school to anyone, or any family interested in making martial arts a part of their life.

What an amazing experience! It took me years to write this review but I own it to Master Greer to thank him for all his hard work and dedication. I recently realized how much of an positive impact his teachings had on my daughter. Julia received her black belt in 8th grade and as freshmen in collage now shared with me how much the motivation, positive attitude, persistence, self control and discipline Master Greer tough her helped her get through with certain situations in life. All the hard work, tears and sweat paid of. Highly recommend US Elite Martial Arts! Thank you Master Greer!

US Elite is one of the best places to learn Discipline, Dedication, and Life skills necessary to be a leader in life. We have been training at US Elite for over 6years. Not only has it helped both my daughters (14 and 9) grow physically strong but it has also given them mental strength and built their characters.

US elite is more than a school, it became very important part of my sons life. Mr. Greer and and staff are focusing not only on the martial art with kicks and punches, but also teach kids respect, discipline, self control and many many other life skills. We have tried 3 other schools before coming to US Elite, there are no other schools like that.

I love that my son has a year round activity that builds his mind and body in a positive way. There are multiple instructors in every class to help guide the kids. They are great roll models and motivators. I never have to push my son to attend class. He loves it.

I wish I could give US Elite MA more than five stars because they are deserving. I began taking kickboxing classes here last July. Master Greer, Mrs. Greer, Mike, and the rest of the staff have successfully created a congenial environment for all fitness levels to receive a challenging workout and to learn a new skill. The classes are never the same, the music is always great, and the other kickboxers are welcoming and helpful to new members. The quality of this place cannot be emphasized enough.

Amazing instructors are great with the kids. You get a personal update after each class on your child’s performance. The kids leadership Program is fantastic! They are taught skills that transcend the dojo. Warm welcoming family environment.

My family has been involved with US Elite for almost 9 years!! My boys have learned so much and have grown into fine young men. My two boys and I have all achieved black belt levels. My Baker Boys have competed on the sparring team literally from one coast to another in numerous tournaments. We all have learned valuable lessons that will stay with us a lifetime. Thank you so much!!!Rich Baker

Our family joined Elite Martial Arts after meeting Master Greer and Malwina and all of their great staff. Our daughter tried the Little Ninja program when she was four years old and absolutely loved it, so we signed her up. A few days after we signed her up, we tried their kickboxing class and immediately signed up. We have all been members ever since. Our daughter is six years old now and has graduated from Little Ninjas to the martial arts program. We are still kickboxing and one of us also joined the MMA sparring class. All of the instructors are awesome in all of the programs. We get a great work out and have fun doing it. Elite Martial Arts is very family oriented and fun for the whole family. Everyone is great with our daughter and she absolutely loves going to her classes and watching us in our classes. Her program has really helped her become a respectful little young lady and continues to help her in many ways as she grows. If you are thinking about martial arts for yourself and/or your children, you should definitely check out Elite Martial Arts!!

I have my daughter enrolled in little ninja class few months ago, she absolutely loves the class. The masters are fun, patient, caring with kids, but still maintain seriousness at the class. I would definitely recommend this studio.

On class days I stay at the office for 3 extra hours just to go to the kickboxing class, that is how much I love it. Ive been a member of U.S. Elite Martial Arts for about 8 months now and not only do I love class, I find that for me it is the perfect compliment to my running. Class is always physically challenging so I know Ive gotten a good workout and there is the added benefit of stress relief via getting to punch and kick the heavy bag! Im losing weight and I can see and feel the change in my upper body strenth. I recommend this class to everyone I know who is interested in losing weight or who just wants an awesome workout with a great instuctor. Five giant stars.

Review №35

I’ve been training at U.S. Elite for 5 years now and it has honestly been life-changing. I came to my first class as an out of shape, unconfident, and awkward 12 year old. Five years later and I’m physically fit, far more confident, and very comfortable socializing with people. Still, probably the most rewarding things I’ve gotten out of training at U.S. Elite are an immersion into the world of Martial Arts (TaeKwonDo, Kickboxing, Grappling) a family, and a home. Master Greer and the staff so polite and welcoming, and so are all the families/students participating in the classes! The environment is amazing and built me into the person I am today. I would totally reccomend classes to anyone interested in getting themselves (or their children) fit, getting confident, making friends, becoming more disciplined and the list goes on.

I have been taking kickboxing classes for about 10 years and I LOVE IT!!!!Everything started with my complaining that I was bored doing the same thing in health club. At the same time I wanted to stay active.My friend has invited me to attend kickboxing class at U.S. Elite Martial Arts Center. At first I was very apprehensive as I had never done anything like this before, and felt that being in my 30th was way too old to start a sport like this compared to others. I fall in love with it after first class. It is the most amazing workout routine. We have everything: cardio, weights, static exercises, learning and practicing different techniques. In addition, you take all the charge of the stresses of everyday life and take them out in training. Each class is different. You never know what you would be doing. Our instructors make it so much fun for everyone. It does not matter how long you are taking the class. Everyone is getting personal attention; no one feels left out or out of place.Personally for me, kickboxing classes are family time also. It took me 5 years to convince my husband to join us. He was very hesitant. He ran half marathons; he was going to gym 5 days a week. He was fit. He could not believe that one class of kickboxing could be such amazing work out. Well, we are taking class together for last 4 years. We do not want to miss a single class. We rearrange our personal schedule to make it to class on time.I am 41 years old, my husband is 47 years old and we are more fit now than when we were in our 20th. We would recommend this place to everyone in a heartbeat.

My son loves Master Greer and been with US Elite Martial Arts for the last four years. Master Greer keeps the kids focused and motivated. He really understands how to bring the art of discpline and fun into the mastery of TKD. Master Greer does more than instruct, he participates and is involved with the growth and development of each of his students. For those students who want to get involved in TKD competitions Master Greer creates a wonder team enviroment where kids really come together and learn from each other. No matter what level a child is at, US Elite Martial Arts moves at the pace that is just right for that child. I am so proud that our family is associated with US Elite Martial Arts!

Master Greer is an excellent teacher, he develops relationship with each one of his student and teaches them more than just Tae Kwon Do (which is top notch in my opinion as I have experience with 2 other Dojos); Master Greer also teaches respect, responsibility and determination. We are very lucky to be here.
