What can I say that will show the true value of this school without actually visiting it and trying it out yourself. This school is the real deal and the complete martial arts experience. Master Jan and Assistant Instructor are highly skilled at what they do and there patience in teaching to each individual regardless of age is second to none. If you are a adult looking to learn self defense and get a amazing workout this place will push you and encourage you to get better in all aspects. If you are a parent looking to get your child into martial arts this place does it with respect and real world applicability. Children are treated very fair and are discipled to be disciplined and good roll models for the people around them. If you are looking for the best full self defense system that teaches everything from the ground up you would be surprised at what you get and its a real bargain for the price as well. This is a traditional Martial art but if you are like myself and have considered a mixed martial arts gym but dont like the idea of being too injured for your professional career this place is a awesome alternative and will fulfill your desires along with giving yourself a real family feel when you are training. It only took a couple free trial days and I was hooked. I am here for the long haul.

We visited a lot of studios and felt like family at this one. The best part about QC Family Martial Arts is that they do a fantastic job with the littles. My son was personally taught when he first started to catch him up to the group. Plus, they not only teach forms and sparring, but self defense. They stress hard work and that the winner is not always the strongest. I am so glad to have found this place for my son.

Master Instructor Jan Butler has over 30 years of teaching martial arts. As a previous wrestler at Orion HS, Master Jan incorporates ground grappling into his martial arts curriculum, along with traditional Kuk Sool martial arts system. If you care about quality rather than how fast you become a Black Belt, this is the place for you!

Its with great admiration that I get to write such a positive review for a local family business located in the heart of the Quad Cities. 131 12 Street Bettendorf, Iowa. Its easy to find and residents in Iowa or Illinois can access the Best Kept Secret in the Martial Arts Community within 10 minutes anywhere in the QCA.In 2010 I was looking for Martial Arts School that was both traditional and had current street smart self defense. QC Family Martial Arts delivers. This Martial Arts School is for the whole family. Master Jan Butler and his wife Master Paulena Butler are good people. Their mission is to teach families that although Martial arts is self defence, you and your child will learn its PROPER DEFENSE against bullies, sickness, and even falling properly to avoid personal injury. They take a personal interest in teaching each student themselves to make sure each student gets the most personal satisfaction from their experiences. Students ages 5 to 85 are welcome and I personally have several family members and friends that have become members and are still training today due to Master Jans unique system. The Instructors never fail to deliver. Its undeniable, you cant get this type of complete training anywhere regionally.The 5pm class is reserved for children 5 to approximately 13 years of age. Parents are also aloud to take class with there child. Master Jan and Master Paulena take alot of time making sure this class is both entertaining for the young students and informative. If you are looking for an activity for your child, try QC Family Martial Arts. Its very reasonable priced and much more inexpensive then most other sports fees.The 6pm class is reserved for 13 to 16 year old adolescents. Master Jan and Master Paulena push this group harder in training. These young people are required to be more respectful then the young children and train harder. They are instructed that bullying, and bad grades in school are not tolerated and respect is rule number one. Again, the emphasis is on hard training, and respect. Children and adolescents with self confidence issues do well in Master Jans school because although strict all the instructors treat every student with respect and encouragement. Beleive me, Ive seen first hand children and adolescents transform into confident and respectful young people while at the same time they are feeling highly rewarded and entertained.7pm is reserved for adults. This class has young adults 18 to older adults nearing 70 and all ages in between. Master Jan with 35 years experience personally makes sure every adult meets there goals and has the experience they desire. QC Family Martial Arts has a well rounded curriculum which includes Stand up fighting, ground fighting, joint locks, chokes, pressure points, and much more. Ive not seen a more complete system locally.I highly recommend QC Family Martial Arts. At 58 years of age, and diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in my knees I have had additional challenges working out until joining QC Family Martial Arts. Master Jan and Master Paulena have supported all my goals. I have exceeded most of them. I train as hard or as light as I need to and Master Jan has been instrumental in altering the way I approach self defense issues and my training. I get a great cardio workout and enjoy everyones company when at the school. Again, respect is number one and its refreshing to know that all students leave their egos at the door. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Yes students helping students. This happens every class.So if your looking for a Martial arts school for your a friend, family member, or yourself come in and try Q C Family Martial Arts. Anyone interested can try class 2 times free before joining. Try it, you wont be disappointed. Im not!!😊

I enjoy training here and think the classes are very educational and important. It teaches respect and discipline and perseverance!🙂
