Martial Arts Classes in Oak Park & River Forest, IL

Classes are combined. Students enroll by age and level (Children Level 1, Children/Youth Level 2, Adults & Teens), and every class draws on all four arts.

Not at all! We welcome students of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners. Our Children Level 1 and Adult/Teen classes are specifically designed to meet you where you are, focusing on the “Way” of discipline and personal growth regardless of your starting point.

We find that children as young as elementary age benefit immensely from the structure of the Dojhang. Our children’s programs focus on building self-confidence, coordination, and respect, helping them create a strong “interior kingdom” during their developmental years.

Yes, and we encourage it. Schedule a free class observation or simply stop in during any class time. You’ll watch a class in action, meet our instructors, and get every question answered before deciding. Appointments are appreciated but never required.

While progress depends on the individual, most students see consistent growth by training 2 to 4 times per week. You can view our current class schedule to find times that fit your family’s routine.

Membership depends on the program and how often you train. We walk through every option in person during your free observation so you can choose what fits.
