“Chronic tendonitis is what prompted me to join Tai Chi classes. Besides being a good form of exercise for this condition, Tai Chi taught me how to relax. I became more aware of how muscle tension and stress contributed to the condition. The relaxation associated with Tai Chi helped reduce my discomfort.” ...Ann, mother of a college student, Cary IL

My husband travels a lot for his work, and in his absence, my son who is a good child can sometimes be a little hard to handle. The discipline that is instilled in the students at Barrington Martial Arts is awesome. I also really appreciate the manner in which the instructors work with the parents.” ...Barrington mother of 2“

“I love coming to your Cardio class. They are fun, engaging and a super workout. Going to the gym usually feels like a chore, but coming to Barrington Martial Arts for my Cardio classes is the exact opposite. I look forward to it.” ...Cardio Kickboxing participant
“I also think that you should be very, very proud of the lessons you teach our children apart from the martial arts aspect. As a parent of two of your students, I place way more importance on the personal skills and values that you help establish in our children than I do on the martial arts components. You and your staff (including the young black belts) teach my kids so much in the area of behaviors, values, motivation, hard work, leadership and just plain respect of self and others. I want my kids to be positive contributing leaders and role models first, and to climb the belt ladder secondarily as a bi-product of the whole program you offer. Again, thanks for all you teach and do for my children.” ...Dr. Perry, father of 2, Director of Community Education
