I definitely recommend the school not just for kids, but adults as well. Thank you!!!

January 2016 will mark my 10th year at Chang Brothers under Master Chang and honestly, a simple…read moreYelp review cannot describe how this school has influenced me as a person. Disclaimer to readers: I had previous instruction in Shotokan Karate at the Schaumburg Park District for about a year before moving to Chang Brothers. I received my black belt here and have been a black belt/instructor since 2008. *I am not being paid to write a review, nor am I receiving anything for my perspective. I am basing my review as a (soon-to-be) 10 year student as I am today.* In my several years of training and teaching at Chang Brothers, I can bluntly say that our school is not easy. Other schools around the area would gladly accept students, give them a black belt, and let them be on their way. This school, on the other hand, will not give out black belts unless they have met the school's standards on what a black belt represents. Our program also should not be seen as a daycare where parents drop off their children, let them have fun for an hour with their friends, then go home, not learning one thing about Taekwondo. We have high expectations for students who expect quality martial arts training, including focus, discipline, and respect. Although the first few months of training are difficult, the rewards are great. For children, focus in school and behavior at home improves. For teens, self-confidence and respect towards family and others improves. For adults, strength, cardio, flexibility, and overall health improves. The more a student puts into the program, the more outcomes that student can receive. Personally, I believe this school has changed me as an individual. I do feel more disciplined and respectful because of my black belt. I have less fears about not being able to defend myself, especially while I was commuting in downtown Chicago for college. Even as an instructor, I have learned how to be patient and understand our students of different backgrounds. Overall, the road to achieving your black belt will not be easy, but if you're looking for a commitment that can possibly change your perspective of martial arts, Chang Brothers Taekwondo Academy is the school for you. I look forward to seeing you in class.

All special needs parents that struggle with trying to involve your kid(s) with a sport or…read moreextracurricular this is exactly what your kid needs. Mason my 10 year old has been with Master Yu at Yong-in Aurora for 2 years now. My son has more or less moderate functioning autism. He struggles tremendously with friends and peers and thrives on structure and goals. He is an amazing kid however we felt like he lacked a sense of extracurricular socializing. We live in a bubble those of you I'm sure can relate and ever since the day he met Master Yu his eyes had been forever glowing with learning Taekwondo. He has accomplished becoming a red belt as of today and I kid you not Master Yu has a gift to form this bond and trust with my son that makes me as a parent Soooo happy. Mason has idolized Master Yu so much that if I feel I have any concerns at home or at school he is able to relay that to him during his sessions. Let's face it our kids don't always listen to mom and dad but the discipline and structure he is able to grasp from his Master is mesmerizing. I can go on and on but honestly my son has been blessed to have met such a kind, caring, motivating and extraordinary person that's definitely leaving permanent footprints in his life that will go with him into adulthood and really give him a sense of belonging to something he cares for with all his heart. We don't ever want to part with Master Yu as he's been a godsend for us. It's worth it you won't believe me until you try. Trust me Go for it!

We often over look the teachers that teach our kids in the most subtle and profound ways. I wanted to take a moment to recognize two of these teachers in my children's lives. Three of my four children have been attending Jin Martial Arts for almost a year. Master Brett and Master Jeff never fail to amaze me with how they teach, guide and run their school. Both Master Brett and Master Jeff have unwavering patience with children of all ages. I have had the pleasure of watching the Tiny Tornadoes class while my 6 year old was in it and their ability to keep 4 -6 year olds focused and showing respect is impressive. Master Brett has a remarkable way of speaking to kids, especially this younger age group. He speaks to them on their level while not speaking down to them and puts some of life's most valuable lessons in words that they can process and understand. Master Jeff is equally patient and kind. As the kids move up in classes, the expectations change while always remaining age appropriate. Students' personal growth is the focus. The growth I have seen in my children since starting classes at Jin Martial Arts has been tremendous. It goes without saying that they have grown physically, my 11 year old daughter can do push-ups. As a parent, the growth that may not be as obvious; confidence, respect, taking responsibility for their actions, treatment of siblings, just to name a few; is invaluable. Master Brett and Master Jeff truly care for their students and want to see them succeed, the theme being to improve yourself and try your best. They have created an environment that parents can feel welcome in and that we are all there to support each other and the students; they have created a village. It is hard to find words to describe the positivity and kindness that Master Brett and Master Jeff have created. Positivity and kindness feel like a cliche that doesn't fully explain the teaching style and community that is Jin Martial Arts. It is so much more than that. Master Brett and Master Jeff are true leaders and teach above all else by example of how they conduct themselves. They are teaching more than martial arts; they are teaching how to be better. They give our future hope. Watching them interact with our youth is refreshing and humbling. To Master Brett and Master Jeff, thank you. Thank you for all you do for our kids. It matters. -Emily Ciarletto (Landon, Valerie and Everett's mom)

Let me state one thing I'm not saying that this school is better than any other in the area or that the other schools are not any good. I have respect for all forms of self-defense. This is just the location that had everything that I was looking for, the classes are sometimes small which is good for one on one training with the master that runs this place. This is something you have to go and experience for yourself so stop by and ask questions, the instructor is highly qualified and knows what he's talking about. Final thought if you wanna know a fighting style that get straight to the point if you ever need to defend yourself this might just be the place your looking for.
