Do you ever wonder how to defend yourself with master skills like the secret agent in the movies where the agent bursts out with phenomenal power yet uses minimal effort? Master Mikhail Kogan has not only taught me how to punch and kick very effectively; he never ceases to amaze me with so many new joint-lock, pressure point techniques along with incredibly powerful defensive combination moves. His techniques are so fantastically practical. After a long exhausting day at work, I look so forwards to Master Kogan’s classes. I comes out of his class more refreshed and recharged with re-energized

This is a great Hapikido school to take you kids to learn self defense, martial arts and improve fitness. I've known Master Kogan for many years and have complete trust and faith in what he teaches.

One of the best experience I have had in a long time. Sensei Kogan delivers a true in your face experience of martial arts. He's honest, blunt and a NO nonsense instructor. You have to earn your belt it's not given. A true experience if you want to learn martial arts not dance!

Mikhail is a great teacher and an actual Grand Master; which is a rare find. We've gone to several dojos before this one. At every dojo, the sensei had us believing they were the best. However, after seeing Mikhail, there was an immediately recognizable difference in his depth of knowledge (of several martial arts) and his coaching ability.
Kogan's Self Defense has great classes for all ages (literally all ages), and kids really like him.

I am a current trainee at Kogan Self Defence. The place is oriented for what you need to train, which keeps you focused on what you go there to learn. Instructors are professional, and they are coming from different backgrounds, that makes this training location very diverse. I go there with my 13 year old son, and we both get plenty advise, and extra attention if more help is needed. Me and my son enjoy this training a lot, and will continue to go there because this is a place that gets the job done. They teach multiple different styles, so it was not hard to find what we wanted. Instructors are

My son goes here, my nephew goes here, I go here (and I'm 30)...
...this is the only place self defense martial arts school in Chicago that treats martial arts with the respect and discipline it deserves.
Belts are not handed out, but earned.
If you want the workout and technical training of a Russian Special Forces Hand-to-Hand Combat Master, then you want to switch martial arts school asap.
In the first month of attending the school, my son (also attending a Korean Tae Kwon Do school) progressed 2 belts in the Tae Kwon Do school because of the technical and physical training he received from
