Serving the Bourbonnais, Crete, Frankfort, Joliet, Manhattan, Manteno, Markham, Mokena, Monee, New Lenox, Peotone, Richton Park, Tinley Park, and other neighboring communities as the leading Martial Arts provider for years.

As an Academy, our programs are robust to meet your growing needs. We have programs geared just for you regardless of your fitness level, or previous experience.  We start at 15 years years old, and go up from there as long as you're committed to yourself.  Consider an Academy with a mission and dedication to provide services in the instruction of martial arts using traditional and non-traditional approaches to the learning process. While there are many martial arts schools in the industry, we pursue a different strategic path to give us our own identity, business emphasis, and path for development.

We promote innovation and broaden the range of study to adapt to changing conditions thereby crafting a strategy to produce the some of the best practitioners in the Arts.  In essence, we actively take measures to satisfy the performance, competitive quality, and reliability requirements of our students.  Performance objectives are outlined for each student so that progress can be monitored, controlled and maintained to ensure the student is on track with curriculum requirements.

A special thank you to all the students of the Academy, and to those instructors across the United States that supported our growth.  We continue to provide sound martial arts classes taught by people invested in training in the martial arts themselves.  An owner, who's been involved for many years, unlike some schools where the owners are not trained in the Arts and need to rely on contract instructors who are not vested in the success of the business. So, this year will bring additional hours for training to the Academy, seminars with some of the best in the business.

When it comes to training in the Arts, we are fortunate to have an active in-house staff as listed above to serve the needs of the community.  With years of experience at the forefront of our classes, we guarantee that you will find a class that will benefit your health, cardiovascular heel-being, and self-defense and awareness skills like no other in the area. WE ARE CONFIDENT WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

As part of our ongoing commitment to the industry in which we serve, we continue to stay on top of new training materials developed by others in the industry to add value to our students. I do not have all the answers even with my tenure as a martial artist.  What I do recognize is that there are others that do, and we surely are open-minded enough to take a deep dive when it is the right decision for my students, and myself as a business owner. We all know the benefits of adding a cardiovascular intensive workout, and we are honored to have the great Erik Paulson's program behind our MMA elective classes when presented.
