USA Martial Arts

BEWARE! Prices online are a SCAM. The class was good however AFTER signing up online, registering and receiving our uniforms and attending our first class, we were told the COST WAS DOUBLE what they advertised on the website. (We paid $170 he said it’s actually supposed to be $360! All other school in the area are about $120 btw). The owner and I had a phone call the next day which ended with him saying he’d try to figure out resolution and call me back (after I asked for my $170 back). That was 2 months ago….I called 2 more times and emailed as well, with no refund or resolution of any sort. I’ve contacted an attorney.

I joined Master Van Patten's 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.

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 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!!

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 he's always there to boost us up and get us on track again. Will continue to be a part of this place.
