Chicago Martial Arts and Master Lee are truly incredible. Master Lee’s influence on the kids is nothing short of amazing. Not only do they learn martial arts techniques, but they also develop a deep understanding of the philosophy behind it—focusing on respect, confidence, discipline, and focus. Master Lee and his assistants strike the perfect balance between creating a positive, playful environment and maintaining a no-nonsense approach that helps kids of all ages thrive. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, encouraging growth both physically and mentally. It’s inspiring to see how much the kids enjoy their classes while building lifelong skills like confidence, fitness, and respect. Chicago Martial Arts is a true gem, and Master Lee’s dedication to his students is unmatched. Highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a fun, meaningful, and impactful martial arts program for their kids!

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.

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.

Master Lee has built an incredible program at Chicago Martial Arts. Over the last five years, my son worked through all the belts in Little Ninjas and then graduated into Taekwondo - and he’s loved every minute of it. The experience has instilled focus, confidence, discipline and respect for others - I truly believe it has helped shape my son into who he is today. We’re proud to have been part of the community and highly recommend Chicago Martial Arts to anyone looking for an engaging program that truly cares about the kids and the quality of their instruction.

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Chicago Martial Arts! My son began with Master Lee four months ago and has made such amazing progress. We've seen our boy's focus, persistence, and self-esteem improve in a short time. Master Lee is SO patient with him, but still holds him to a high standard. He is funny and consistent and really takes time to get to know the students. My son always looks forward to classes and loves his time there. I highly recommend Chicago Martial Arts, especially for those of us with wiggly little boys!

My son who is now 12 started out at Little Ninjas at the Glenview Park District. His first day started off crying and scared. That was about 8 years ago! He's now been going to Chicago Martial Arts for 7 years now and has become a 2nd degree black belt, working towards a 3rd degree. Master Lee teaches discipline, confidence, and courage to all his students and has definately impacted my son in a positive way! It's definately much more than just the fighting and self defense for my child. The studio and CMA parents becomes an extended family and support each other. I can't say enough positive things about this studio. Try it out if you are on the fence about picking a studio. You won't be disappointed.

We have so adored Chicago Martial Arts. From the very first class when we saw the confidence our son was filled with as he learned his first punches, to the pride on his face at his latest belt ceremony, the maturity this has brought out in our kiddo has truly blown our mind. He is always so happy on Saturday mornings to head to Little Ninjas, and to tell his friends at school about his latest belt or skill. We’ve loved getting to know the fellow parents, and watching our kids grow together. Master Lee’s kind guidance and discipline is so appreciated and special. We’re so grateful to have found Chicago Martial Arts!

I would highly recommend this gym for any one brand new or seasoned in Jiu-Jitsu! Being new to Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts in general I was nervous to try it - but the gym was very welcoming and great at easing me into learning. As a woman, I also felt very safe and comfortable at the gym which was a huge plus. Professor John Hanson is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to work with each student. He is able to monitor each student's progress individually and adjusts his lessons for what each student and the class needs. Jiu-Jitsu is my favorite activity because of this gym and I hope anyone who is even remotely interested comes and tries out a class!

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!

I first began training Brazillian Jiu Jitsu with Professor Barry Philips at CMA last August. Though starting at a new school felt intimidating at first, I knew from day 1 that CMA had to be my "home" school. Everyone was immediately welcoming and helpful. Professor Barry and all of the higher ranking belts are immensely skilled in breaking down technique and problem solving. I always leave class having had fun, gotten a great workout, and having learned a ton. I've been very happy with the training I've gotten at CMA and highly recommend it.

Instructors really care about kids in class and at home. My son is really active and has a hard time focusing, but they were very patient and explained to him why he wasn't participating if he had acted up. Eventually with time, my son has learned to focus and the discipline has helped at home as well. They really focus on respect to parents and others, building confidence, and just really want your child to succeed.

Bill Lee, the owner of CMA, is a really nice guy and a fantastic martial arts teacher. And his number one instructor, Juan, is absolutely superb with the kids. After studying martial arts myself for many years, I know good instruction when I see it, and I definitely see it here. Knowing that my son is becoming capable of defending himself in this crazy world makes me and my wife feel more at ease when he leaves our home. Plus, I know the more he learns, the less likely he'll ever have to use it. Besides, my son always leaves the studio feeling great about himself, and that's really worth every cent.

I have 2 kids, ages 7 and 10, that have been part of Chicago Martial Arts Deerfield for the last four years. Through the primary instruction of Master Lee and Instructor Juan, my kids have confidence and discipline that will help them for many years to come. My family is fortunate to have been referred to CMA as we consider peers and teachers associated with the dojo an extended family. My kids attend 3 days a week and love to be here. The curriculum includes forms, techniques, sparring and Korean vocabulary as well as frequent testing throughout the year so you can ascend to Black Belt and beyond. Most importantly, there are boys and girls and men and women that attend regularly and participate together in training. Master Lee is acutely aware of bringing the right levels of fairness, professionalism and fun into each class. Different Black Belts will assist in class instruction with their peers. The end result is to provide a wonderful and safe environment for my children to be active, learn new skills and build the confidence they will need as they grow up. I think my children will continue this for years to come.

This is honestly the best school around! Master Lee focuses on technique and the art of Tae Kwon Do but is also super supportive of every student young and old. He is strict in a confidence building and growth producing way, especially for the kids. He sets such an amazing example of the 5 tenets of TKD (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit) and therefore passes it down to his students. I started here as an adult and it honestly changed my life. I learned so many life skills that I carry with me every day; most importantly, I am strong and can defend myself when needed but I also learned that it's not always about the end result but about the journey and how you achieve your end result. I have so much respect for Master Lee, he is the best and can't imagine anyone choosing a different school for their journey to being a black belt. Kiyup!!
