Ekim's Karate, Kickboxing & MMA

"No one better in the Quad Cities or surrounding areas. Still not sure? Go to any tournament and watch Ekims clean up. Both of my kids were able to win titles and trophies all over the midwest. All because of Mike's leadership. Thank you Sensei"

"I enjoy training at Ekim's to better myself. Plenty of bags to hit/kick. Mat space to drill, grapple, and spar. There is also a small weight lifting area (squat rack, hex bar, dumbbells, battle rope, pull-up bar, etc). This was huge for me. Now I can get a lift in after training. Master Mike is a very knowledgable person whose attention to detail has really allowed me to grow the last few months. To sum it up, I am grateful for finding out about Ekim's, and I love training there."

"My son has been going here for years , it all started with my son telling me he would be a professional video gamer , , I did not walk I ran to ekims and has been thee best decision , no regrets , Mike is amazing at what he does , he's giving these kids a great sense of accomplishment and discipline,"

"Our Granddaughter Emma is in Karate at Ekim's. She loves it. Sensei Mike Smith is the best! He's great with kids of all ages helps them be the best. It's fun to watch her learn and grow in something she very passionate about."

"Mike is a great instructor with little kids. He's the perfect amount of firm and friendly. He smiles while he yells. Karate is a physical sport, it isn't easy; but Mike tempers his being strict while showing compassion. He focuses on selfcontrol and technique. I see my kids going here for many years. Definitely recommend! I also go here myself for kickboxing. As a lazy couch potato with no endurance, no physical fighting experience, and a handicap; I've never felt more than welcome! After a few months I've noticed positive physical changes and am so proud of myself. I'll definitely recommend Ekim's to anyone looking to check out karate or kickboxing!"
