Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu

“My experience with Chicago Martial Arts has been exceptional. Master Lee is passionate about seeing their students succeed. I couldn't be happier with this school.”

“I am so glad that we decided to sign out son up for Little Ninjas. Master Lee is amazing with the kids. He makes the class fun but also is not afraid to let the kids know when they are doing something wrong. Our son had never been so excited about any activity. He is all smiles from the minute he walks in the door and doesn't want to leave when it is over. Master Lee is the best. I definitely recommend Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu.”

When she first started, I never imagined this journey—but thanks to Mr. Lee’s guidance, encouragement, and the way he makes every class fun, she stuck with it and kept growing. Mr. Lee has an incredible gift for connecting with kids. He knows how to challenge them, encourage them, and most importantly—make it fun.

“My son tested yesterday and achieved his 3rd-degree black belt status in Tae Kwon Do at Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu. The half-day event was a true testament to his dedication and skills. He ran miles in the cold, aced the Korean vocabulary test, sparred, showcased his forms, and capped it off with an impressive feat - breaking a thick brick with his hand. 🧱 His journey with Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu began in kindergarten, a decision my husband and I made to channel his energy and help him focus. His teachers were concerned that he was having trouble finishing his work and paying attention at school. I remember I was in tears at one point because he could not sit and complete his homework. We would sit for hours trying to get his homework done. This is when we started to look for non-pharmacological ways to address this issue and found Chicago Martial Arts. Master Lee and his dojo became a blessing in our lives. Under their guidance, we've witnessed our son transform into a mature young man who excels academically in honors, AP classes and Symphony Orchestra. This remarkable change is a testament to the positive impact of Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu. They train children to be respectful, responsible, and self-sufficient young men. As parents, enrolling both of our kids in Chicago Martial Arts Tae Kwon Do school ranks among the best decisions we've made. The kids have been attending 2-3 times a week since the age of 5 and 7, embracing physical activity, discipline, teamwork, respect, and camaraderie as part of their lives now. Thank you, Chicago Martial Arts / Brazilian Top Team Jiu-Jitsu, for shaping our children into incredible individuals. This is so much a part of their lives that they don't know any other way.”
