At CMA, our classes progress with our students, not the other way around. If a student is dedicated, catches on quickly and tests well, their classroom progressions reflect this progress. If a student prefers a more casual pace, so will their Chicago Martial Arts experience. Both kids & adults martial arts instruction is provided at Chicago Martial Arts & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Classes are also available day & night, weekdays and weekends. Our instructors have years of experience teaching students and progressing at their individual pace. Chicago Martial Arts has been serving the greater Chicago community since 1999. CMA was founded by William Lee, a Tae Kwon Do Master and U.S. Navy veteran, skilled in Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido and Kumdo.

Our goal was to create an environment that enriched all aspects of human development - mind, body, and spirit. Our programs were developed to strengthen the body, cultivate stronger mental balance, heighten personal energy, and unify our membership into a community. The disciplines of Taekwondo are designed to bolster the students with feelings of confidence, well-being and peace.
Chicago Martial Arts Taekwondo classes, training and principles are firmly rooted in the eleven commandments of modern Taekwondo. Translated, Taekwondo means the art of kicking and punching. The Korean art form combines the direct lines of Karate, the circular motions of Kung Fu with native kicking techniques into a formidable self-defense art form.
The Little Ninjas program is a modified martial arts program tailored specifically for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old. This program is geared to engage the children both physically and mentally. The Little Ninjas program promotes general fitness and flexibility. We use modified martial arts drills to promote coordination and balance.

My 2 boys (5 & 7 yrs old) plus nephew (6 yrs old) all attend their little ninja class. We tried a different TKD place before choosing this TKD as I appreciate seeing Master Lee there every day knowing all his students names. The instructors are very knowledgeable and genuinely care for the students to excel. They know how to "scold" them in a way so the boys want to do better next time. They used to not like going, but now they loving going! Master Lee and his instructors are helping building discipline, manners and culture into these little men. Thanks!

If you're looking for a martial arts place for your child, I highly recommend this place! It's not just the trainings and techniques are intense but I love how they teach the kids self defense, respect, discipline and more. Its almost like the Army Basic Training. I love it

Master Lee is great with the kids. He teaches them discipline but also has fun while doing so. My son has been in the Little Ninjas class for 7 months now and has advanced belts. Keeps him motivated to earn the next belt. It’s amazing how Master Lee keeps the 4-6 year olds attention for the whole class. Just wonderful. I highly recommend.

Chicago Martial Arts is the best! My kids, 7 and 10, have been students here for 2 years and they love coming to their TKD classes twice a week. Master Lee and his instructors are great with children. The kids learn discipline and respect without intimidation or fear. The staff is very friendly. They make sure to get to know all their students and to evaluate each student's strengths and areas for improvement. The teachers offer individual support when necessary, and are always encouraging. As a bonus, Master Lee regularly reminds the kids to honor their parents and to be grateful for the things
