Horrible experience…read more First, these are not talented teachers. They think they're masters, they can't even do fajin. Had a horrible experience with "Master Bob" who harassed me in front of the entire class for asking questions. This 'man' has zero taichi ability, zero qi, zero peng, zero martial ability. This place is mostly middle-aged nerds cosplaying taichi, they have no push hands ability, do not understand the foundation of taichi, and going here you will never gain any ability. Also the idea you need to be vegetarian for better qi is 100% false.

Wright's Traditional Kung Fu and Kickboxing is THE place for all of your workout needs…read more Below I will try to explain why I think that, and more importantly why you should exercise properly - with a dedicated, patient and experienced teacher- 'Shifu' Timothy Wright. When modern society was invented it also changed the basic model for stress, and its usefulness. 40,000 years ago, the "fight or flight" response which is an innate part of every human being, and resides within our autonomic nervous system - was used to escape dangerous situations. For example by fleeing from a lion, we would escape it - thereby effectively solving the stressor. In today's world we can take flight from let's say a social issue, by avoiding something or someone. This will lessen our level of anxiety and its physical symptoms - but it will not solve the problem, in fact it may make it worse. Today's society is just too complicated and inter-tangled with rules which make the release of stress and its closure hard if not impossible. Stress, and its proper release, is just one of many reasons why you should exercise, and do it properly. Master Tim (Apache) Wright's classes will make you a better human being, and even more importantly your evolutionary propensities shall be resolved. If you're not convinced yet, you should definitely keep on reading. Since our lives are busier then ever - we deal with more stress today than ever before. Because of today's society's specific rules of conduct which we must follow in order to be considered "normal", we are unable to properly release the pent up tension. This hectic modern sedentary lifestyle is one of the causes of this distress, as are biopsychosocial reasons. Chronic stressors are associated with measurable hormonal and cardiac changes, as are genetic (inherited) predisposition, biological malfunctioning, environmental stressors, conditioning and social learning, and even the excepted medical model are all partially to blame. Since stress is the prevalent trigger of most non-genetic related psyche issues, psychological disorders run amok among our society. It almost seems like there is really no "normal" people left in the world today. We add fuel to the fire with improper diet and lack of exercise. Therein lays your answer. Exercise is definitely relaxing and extremely healthy. It increases the body's supply of endorphins, or opioid peptides, chemicals that mimic the effects of opium-based drugs such as morphine--they elevate mood and reduce pain. They also affect memory, learning, blood pressure, appetite, and sexual activity. In reality, proper exercise does even more than that. It increases your stamina, strength, reflexes, improves memory and concentration. Your heart gets stronger, and beats more rhythmically, bed cholesterol disappears, and you become more self-aware and confident. Proper exercise can even help with addictions, such as tobacco or alcohol, as it is physically impossible to use them while concurrently doing Martial Arts and or Kickboxing training. As with everything in life - you get out of it, precisely what you put into it. I am not going to lie to you however; it takes countless hours of practice, and extremely hard work. As a result it strengthens your personality, as well as your physical prowess. You have to make a commitment and stick to it, no matter the obstacles. Finally, adaptation is organism's reaction to CHANGE in the Environment. I emphasized word change, because I feel that is the core of the issue. That very ability is extremely important to our evolution and survival. Our bodies alert us to both bad and good change. They give us distress in time of duress, and pleasure in tranquility. Without the ability to adapt to changes in the surrounding environment, none of our most basic everyday activities would be possible. May I suggest than - that you adapt, and contact Master 'Apache' (Timothy Wright) at Wright"s Kung Fu. He is a true champion, and he will help you adapt to our amazing, ever changing world, while altering you in ways you cannot possibly even fathom. And that is why I think, Master Tim and Wright's Traditional Kung Fu can help you on your road to success. Who am I? My name is Victor and I am a student of Master Tim "Apache" Wright.

First off, I've been training in different martial arts (TKD, Hapkido, Eskrima, and Brazilian Jiu…read moreJitsu) off and on for over 25 years. What brought me to this school was my 9-year old daughter. I wanted to find a good traditional martial arts school, where she would actually learn proper strikes, kicks and technique. My daughter never had interest in learning any martial arts and the only reason I was able to get her to try a class was because she had a friend that trained there. We met with the head instructor Dave, who gave us a run down and brief history of the school, which has its roots from Zange's Martial Arts, a school that has taught people in Chicago martial arts for over 35 years. While we were talking, I noticed several kids in the class warming up; all were focused whether they were practicing kicks, a form with their Kali sticks, or just stretching. We tried the class and my daughter loved it. I decided to take up martial arts again at 45 years old and signed up as well. My 12 year old son heard that his sister really enjoyed the class and he signed up as well so we now train as a family, which is something that Kickin' Around really encourages. Dave has students set their sights on receiving their black belt but tells you up front that it takes time and a lot of work to achieve that goal. Students here earn every belt that they test for and there's no rush or pressure to take a promotion test, which from my experience with different martial arts schools is an indicator of a good one. Solid martial arts instruction in Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do and Kali(Filipino Martial Arts) at very affordable prices.
