My 9 yr old and I go to the Family Class. It's all ages, but Master Jan and his staff do a great job catering to all experience levels. Being able to train with my son has made the time even more enjoyable.The classes are always unique with a mix of fitness, self defense, sparring & grappling.I can't say enough about this school.

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 don't 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.

It's 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. It's 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.

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.

My two boys have been training with KJN Jan for a few years now. He is one of the best coaches and mentors I have seen. He makes the practices fun and engaging without sacrificing discipline and attention to detail. The self-defense he teaches is not meant to be something cool the kids think they know, but rather the training is geared to be as realistic and authentic as possible. FIVE STARS.

KJN Jan Butler is an excellent instructor and emphasizes respect and dedication. He and the other black belts work very well with the kids that attend Kuk Sool from 5 to 85 ! They create the right mixture of hard work and fun. Alexander ha been attending since 5 y.o. and it has helped him be more respectful and helped with his focus and concentration, not to mention the great opportunity for exercise and physical fitness. I highly recommend trying it out - they let you attend one week free to see if it's right for you or your kids.

Jan Butler is the one of the best martial arts instructors in the area. If you're looking for someone to teach your child properly without giving belts out like candy, Jan is your man. Not only is Jan a skilled practitioner of Kok Sool Won, he is an excellent wrestler and knows some BJJ as well. If you're looking for a well rounded martial arts experience without all the fluff of the bigger places in town, you need to go to Kok Sool QC.

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!

I was so fortunate to be on hand to support and participate in KJN Jan's latest seminar. It was essentially a highlight reel of the best self defense techniques KJN Jan has accumulated over his 30 years of teaching authentic martial arts. You had to have been there to fully appreciate all that was shared with this select group. I have been on this path with KJN Jan for 23 of his 30 years and I am honored by our close association. Chook Hah Hahm Née Dah or Congratulations KJN for your continued path of self discovery and growth.
