Our son has been attending Classical Martial Arts Academy for a few years now and I absolutely love it. The discipline emphasized in every class really helps him stay focused, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to come back. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, always giving clear feedback and encouragement. The training equipment is well‑maintained and the dojo is spotless, which adds to the overall great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top‑notch martial arts school.

I see nothing but happy students at this dojo. They receive good training and learn the rewards from the hard work they put in. We chose this organization for our daughter over others that seem to push for competition trophies to make the business look good.
The prices are reasonable for classes, and the schedule is flexible enough to accommodate most any family.

This is hands down the best Martial Arts academy I have ever been too.
My son used to do taekwondo and it was a joke - every six weeks a new belt, a trophy, constant praises for nothing and I saw 7 year olds become black belts.
This is why I have been looking for a long time to find a REAL Martial Arts academy. this place is PERFECT! My son loves it, he works and tries his best, he is so proud and happy when he gets some praise - this is because he knows he actually earned it. This is not a babysitting place. Here your child will learn real discipline, what it means to earn something, learn how to deal with failure and how to get back up and practice. Here your child will learn how to be consistent and that life is not about getting handouts and praise for nothing! I HIGHLY recommend this place! Sensei is awesome! I promise you, you will not regret it!

Sensei Revell and Sensei Alex have an extensive knowledge and real passion for the art. They teach applications for real life situations as well as training the body to move better for overall health and efficiency.

We have been going to CCMA for a while now. My husband is a black belt and vetted CCMA. Sense Is very knowledgeable in his art and has been teaching kids for a long time. My daughters enjoy the classes. They respect Sensei and his teachings. This Dojo is the real deal.

All 3 of my children have taken classes from Classical Martial Arts Academy. We love CMAA!
After doing some research in the area a friend recommended CMAA. I absolutely love there are no financial contacts and pricing is month to month. It was very affordable as I had 3 children in at one time. My children loved the classes, the work is very hard, yet it is very rewarding. Sensei puts time and effort in quality lessons each helps each child reach their potential! I highly recommend Classical Martial Arts Academy.

My son has been involved with CMAA for 4 1/2 years. I have watched him grow from a shy, unfocused and low self-confidence boy to a confident, secure young man. Sensei Tommy expects his students to work hard and try their best. My son has loved his experience. As a parent and educator, I believe Sensei has his students best interests in mind at all times.

Was ignored when we first walked in by owners. When I finally walked up to him, he was very rude. Prices are higher then other businesses. Would not recommend. We are now going somewhere else.

We had no experience with martial arts and were looking for a place for our 5 year old son to start taking karate in Frankfort, IL. We started in September and have been really happy with it. My son enjoys the classes and has gained physical strength, coordination and it is awesome to see his focus during class. For such a busy little guy, this class actually keeps him engaged. The flexibility to go to any of the classes for his age is very helpful in case something comes up or one of us gets sick. Happy to have found CMAA.

The training my son received at Classical Martial Arts Academy helped to build his physical strength and confidence. Skills he developed in class will not only help him with self-defense but will also aid in other sports and activities.

My boys really enjoy CMAA karate classes! The instructors (Sensei) are excellent! Not only is it a respectful art but as a parent, I like the fact that my boys know how to defend themselves. In addition, over the past two years we have noticed both our sons improve tremendously with focus, concentration, memorization, respect, listening and their school grades. It has been a huge confidence booster as well!
