My son used to go here. They are awesome with kids. The only reason why he stop going was because he wanted to focus more in music. Master G and his daughter are really patient with kids. Highly recommend it.

Excellent martial arts academy, a great place to take your children to learn discipline and improve their fitness, mental wellbeing and confidence. Master G is one of the best teachers of the Taekwondo and Hapikdo disciplines in Chicagoland. He is a long time student of Grand Master Ted Kim. My 2 children studied under Master G in Woodridge for 3 years before going to college. I highly recommend this school.

Our son has been a little dragon for about 6 months now. We are more than impressed by Master G and his daughter. They are amazing with the little dragons program. They are very patient and the kids learn a lot from them at an early age. We were worried our son would be intimidated because he so much younger than his classmates, but he was welcomed and fit right in. If you are looking for a first activity for your child, we highly recommend this dojo!

Master John is an accomplished instructor with a 6th degree black belt rank and over 20 years of instruction experience. He is excellent with kids and offers a great Martial Arts program. My 3 nephews and niece studied with him for a few years and continue to do so. Highly recommended Martial Arts Academy for all ages.

This is a great place! I saw the construction and once I saw the sign put up I was immediately interested.I spoke with Master G asking about his story and history and he is legit. He has tons of experience, and accredited which is a very rare thing in this area. I signed up with him as his pricing is unmatched in the area.How can you go wrong with this? Taught by an accredited teacher, low cost and local. Win win for sure!

I have been a student of Master G.'s for several years now, and it has been the most influential, educational and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend a higher learning in Taekwondo, and would love to see all ages join me in this journey!

My boys have been coming here for a little more than a month and so far it’s the one thing they’ve enjoyed from all the activities they’ve been signed up for. We will for sure keep them coming. Master G and his daughter are great with the kids. Another thing I appreciate is how affordable it is. So far I have no complaints. Defiantly recommend.
