With the “Northside” school opening in Chicago in 1971 and the opening of the “Southside” location in September of 1996, the schools are one of the largest and longest running martial arts and self defense schools. With over 43 years in business and martial arts experience, we are the most experienced and number 1 ranked school in the Country.
We have over 400 students and an experienced staff of Masters and Black Belt instructors. We continue to be the leading choice among martial arts schools in Chicago and neighboring suburbs for children, teenager, and adult programs. It's never too early or too late to learn to protect yourself and your loved ones with self defense!
The Martial Arts School and its Black Belts are certified by the Korea Kido (Hapkido) Association in Seoul and the Korean Department of Culture. Today, the phrase “Sung Moo” (successful training in martial arts) is offered as a greeting and demonstration of mutual respect by everyone in the school.
