Having my son start training with AKF Martial Arts of Eau Claire has been one of the very best choices I’ve made. The family-style focus of the classes allows for a naturally supportive and inclusive environment while providing my son with plenty of role models to look up to when he feels like he’s struggling. I also really appreciate how Mr. Gustavson utilizes a three-fold approach to reviewing the student’s behavior. By incorporating regular feedback from home, school and AKF my son understands that his success is not solely measured by his efforts on the mat but instead it’s measured by his actions in all facets of his life. He’s learning life lessons along the way. The excitement he exudes after learning new skills & achieving a goal is worth its weight in gold! I’d recommend AKF Martial Arts of Eau Claire to anyone – give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!

I've been so impressed by the way Chester really cares about his students: not only their increasing skill as athletes, but also making sure they grow into mature, responsible leaders. I appreciate the fact that he allows students to spar in tournaments but doesn't require it. My boys were always reluctant to "hurt someone." They would have benefitted from his approach. I'm just sorry Chester wasn't around during my days as a karate mom.

My Husband and I enrolled our two boys- ages 5 and 7- into AKF Eau Claire a little over a year ago. Within the first 2 weeks, I saw a great deal of improvement in their every day lifestyles! Our 5 year old has always had a tough time focusing and staying on task, however- we are breaking that cycle now with giving him Martial Arts! AKF Eau Claire has a wonderful staff that will take the time and effort needed to helping your child's specific needs. It has taught both of our boys self confidence, proper Sir and Ma'am manners, to never give up no matter how tough the situation may be, to always help others, and much more! This Academy goes above and beyond the rest! The family style training and support is incomparable. While we attended class to observe our children we thought to ourselves "This looks fun and beneficial all around!" Therefore, just 4 months after our boys were enrolled, my Husband and I joined as well! Now we are ALL learning and growing together. I can't even put into words how this has helped our family in many aspects! We are all setting goals together, and helping each other train inside and outside of the Academy. How has it helped my Husband and I as adults? We are gaining strength through our mind, body, and soul. The training that is provided helps in every day scenarios- whether it's self defense, self confidence, perseverance, or setting goals. My husband who has always been an introvert is finding himself more of an extrovert now and that says a lot! We are extremely proud to be a part of such a strong and positive KyuKiDo family at AFK Eau Claire. I highly recommend it to everyone! If there was one thing I would change, it would be to have joined sooner! It's never too late to better yourself and/or your loved ones. Sara Gilbert

I enrolled my (then) 4 year old son after meeting Mr. Gustavson at the Kids Expo at the Sports Center this past Winter. In the 6 months he has attended, my son has learned so much more than just kicking and punching (which he loves) but he also is learning patience, respect, teamwork and even using the breathing techniques he learned when he gets upset. His attitude is changing for the better and I am grateful to the wonderful instructors Mr. Gustavson and Ms. Lee for being great role models for him also.

My family has been attending this Academy for over 3 years, we have grown alot together. Watching each other struggle and succeed in learning martial arts have been eye opening for all of us. We each have our own ways to deal with difficulties, and that includes other students. I have come to love many of the other students as family. I care about many of them, I am proud of them also when they conquer challenges and fears. This place have given me more than an understanding of martial arts, it has shown me more of what kind of person I can choose to be. What kind of people my kids will be. I love the Instructors both Mrs. Lee and Mr. Gustavson, they care about our personal goals as well as helping us to obtain our belt levels. Many of my favorite family memories are in this school, I am glad I signed up with my children. I love to see how proud I make them as much as I am of them.
