It is impossible to get your autistic kid in anything that will hold there attention, well sensei Stephen is a Gem at unlimited martial arts. He made us feel assured he could handle the task of our child...and get this he not only completed that mission , she made friends and she achieved a white built. When I tell you I cried at the ceremony just thinking that there are some people who actually care about kids and their achievements in life. Remember the name Sensei Stephen, it's not the place that makes a place great it's always the person in a place that makes anything great. If it were not for him having patience and wisdom . Our daughter would not know what she knows now...

I started my grandson in Sensi Stephen's Jitsitu class 3 years ago. The first few months my grandson wanted to quit, but Sensi would pull him aside and talk to him and encourage him to not give up. Sensi Stephen treats these kids like family. My grandson has grown tremendously with the craft and techniques that Sensi teaches. He loves the class and the discipline it has taught him.

Our experience with the program has been nothing short of wonderful. Sensei Steve is beyond welcoming, he has such a genuine spirit and even in the short time we’ve been a part of the program, he’s already made a truly positive impact on my boys. You can feel the leadership and dedication the moment you walk in the door. I love that it’s not just about learning skill, but It’s about building confidence, discipline, and character. I’m so grateful we found this place.

My mom began this class and she has not stopped yet. As a student my schedule conflicts with the class time but mom has shown me a few techniques she's learned from Sensei Stephen and I AM IMPRESSED with her progress. I highly recommend that every woman takes these courses for self defense. He's taught her how to stay calm and defend herself in any situation and she's passed that on to me as well.

This martial arts center was super organized & clean! I went for a graduation ceremony and was really impressed by the structure and skill set that students learn! Sensi Stephen was very thorough and made sure the students would have a skill in defense training to last them a lifetime!

As a student this class has taught me how to defend myself using Only my phone. My teacher Sensei Steven takes time to make sure I understand Not only the technique but why I'm doing each movement. I wish classes were longer! Five stars is not enough to highlight how awesome this class is!

I highly recommend Unlimited Martial Arts Academy! I have two children that attend and I have been amazed at the level of self-confidence and skill they are exhibiting after a short time (about 3 months) at the school. The staff is friendly and you can tell that they really care about the growth and development of their students, not just in their martial arts aptitude, but personally as well. In addition to martial arts techniques, the instructors develop persistence and a growth mindset in the students. The instructors are welcoming and work hard to make sure everyone feels empowered to take control of their learning. They have high standards, but give help, tools, and encouragement to students to help them reach those expectations. They meet students where they are and they are willing to meet them more than halfway on their learning journey, provided students give effort and take ownership of their learning. The culture itself is very welcoming and my kids and I feel like family when we walk in the building. The instructors provide ample help and respond quickly whenever I or my kids have had questions or needed assistance. They are open to feedback and genuinely want to build a partnership with parents to ensure the success of their children. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the instructors and school and, most importantly, with the growth and confidence that I've witnessed in my children.

Excellent class! Master Trainer Stephen is very knowledgeable, kind, caring and patient. He teaches techniques in the women's safety class that is easy to retain and he allows adequate time to practice the skills. Classes are cost effective. Thank you! Jackie (Student)

I am a student at VSK Jujitsu University at Unlimited Martial Arts Academy in Lansing, IL. I was recently asked to reflect upon my experience with the University. I am delighted and honored to share my thoughts on this life-changing University. I am thoroughly pleased with the leadership and instruction at the University. Our instructor, Sensei Stephen White is the detailed, knowledgeable, passionate, and patient leader of our group. I appreciate the way that he provides one-on-one coaching to all of his students. This method of teaching instills courage and confidence in all of our classmates. We leave class informed and inspired to go forth with the necessary tools to “overcome all obstacles and to never give up and never surrender.” So, I invite and highly recommend that anyone seeking to master the arts of self-defense join us at Unlimited Martial Arts Academy. “You will be glad that you did!” Ous!!

I visited the school with a friend who is a student and is always excited about the classes. I found a very welcoming environment. The atmosphere was warm with a positive energy. I spoke to Sensei Stephen who was extremely polite and patient. I was impressed with how well the students were responding to him. After hearing how life enhancing the training can be I am definitely joining when I relocate to Chicago

I have attended Unlimited Martial Arts Academy for the women’s self defense class. The teachings here is absolutely amazing. Sensei Stephen is very passionate about what he does. I recommend if you have children or interested in women’s self defense this is the school to attend.

I wanted to extend my gratitude for the Women's Self-Defense Training class that my teen daughter and I attended. The session was incredibly informative, and the techniques and tools you and the guest instructors provided have equipped us with valuable skills to use in case we ever find ourselves in a vulnerable situation. Thank you for empowering us with knowledge and practical tools that could make a difference. Your expertise and guidance were truly invaluable. Warm regards, Syreeta P.
