Grand Master Ron, Master Saif, and Mrs. Cassandra pour their hearts into the school. Their passion and leadership has taught Zach discipline, respect, and perseverance--on and off the mat. Whether he's preparing for a tournament or learning a new Form, he's always supported and challenged. We're proud to be part of the Pride family. If you want a school that truly builds strong, respectful, and confident kids--this is the place.

They do a great job of pushing the kids to the next level, but not too hard where they become discouraged. The classes have only continually grown larger over the years and for good reason. Also, they do fun community involvement throughout the year with trunk or treat and Easter egg hunts. If you are considering on sending your kid here, I'd strongly recommend it!

This place has very traditional Aikido instruction and is the real deal when it comes to Japanese martial arts. Come try out a few classes! Then stay for a few more! Mastery takes repetition and refinement of movements. Starting something new will always be scary or uncomfortable, but the student community and instructors are here to support your journey!

My son is 7 and attends Judo twice a week here and loves it. We have found it to be a supportive and positive environment that challenges him while also teaching sportsmanship and discipline. It is a welcoming community where students work hard and have fun while gaining so much confidence. My son recently participated in his first Judo tournament and had so much fun. He was encouraged and supported by both teachers and classmates and had a great experience. I highly recommend this dojo!

I checked out all of the schools in the area before I decided to finally sign up with Bodhi…read moreCollaborative, and I couldn't be happier. First and foremost, the instructors Juan and Tristan are exactly what I was looking for. Simply put, they're fantastic! They're incredibly knowledgeable, structured, and approachable. So much so, I feel like my jiu jitsu is getting better than I had anticipated because these guys will actually roll with you even if you're a white belt and a true beginner...something that I hear you don't get in most schools. There are also beginner classes that are taught by Vince, Angel, and sometimes Fernando. These guys are also awesome. There is no rolling in the beginner classes(which is the most fun), however, I have learned the most technique in these classes because they're taught properly. I can't say enough good things about the beginner classes. I feel like I can ask them anything and they always take the time to help. This gym also has a great atmosphere. Being a new guy I can see the great relationships that have been developed throughout the years prior to me joining. Everyone is really laid back and accepting. I'm starting to realize that it could be very easy to dismiss white belts in jiu jitsu, but at Bodhi they seem to be embraced. All of my new teammates are so helpful. There are no bullies here, which I hear can also be a problem in some schools. One of the main reasons why I also joined Bodhi is because I wanted to learn Gi and No Gi jiu jitsu, which are both very cool in their own way. Some schools do not offer both, just one or the other. I've been wanting to learn jiu jitsu since I saw skinny little Royce Gracie choke out dudes bigger and stronger than him in the early 90's. It took me a while, but I finally decided to do it. I couldn't be any happier with my decision. I'm here to stay until Juan and Tristan put that black belt around my waist someday. It's gonna take a while because I really suck, but I am addicted! Look nowhere else if you're considering jiu jitsu. It's high level and fun at the same time at this school. What more can you ask for?

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 have been sending our kids to Master Yu for 2 years. Not only do they love it there, but they…read morehave become more disciplined and respectful at home and at school.

I would recommend this Martial Arts school to any parent who wants to provide their children with not only an opportunity to become fit, but also to become trained mentally, and emotionally.

The staff was very professional yet relatable & the facility was clean and orderly. My son has also had a birthday party here AND they offer "parents night out" which basically consists of them caring for the children for a set amount of hours outside of normal class hours. They play games, (nerf wars are a big hit), feed them & keep them safe! I love it. If I could change anything it would probably only be a better parking situation.

Great environment for children to learn Tae Kwon Do, gain strength and confidence, learn respect along with practical self defense skills! As an adult student of his, going from second to third degree black belt, I am truly developing into a better martial artist with each class! I'm gaining strength and flexibility I didn't think I could acheive at this age (late 30s). Master Jung really pays attention to detail, sees what areas you need to work on and brings a plan to help you reach those goals. I'm getting a great workout, learning new self defense techniques and having fun. Since working with him to fine tune certain skills, I've gone to a couple competitions, including ILLINOIS STATE, and brought home a combination of gold, silver and bronze medals. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Hoping his business continues to grow, he's a great addition to the area, I hope families take advantage of his presence!!!

Our family loves this place…read more My kids have been taking the children's aikido class there since mid-summer and it's amazing. My little one started out as a very timid 4yr old - the teachers worked with her at her own pace and now she is confident and comfortable in class and couldn't be prouder that she recently moved up to an orange belt. My older daughter has taken to the class and the routine with ease. The sensei's (sp??) are all fantastic with the kids. Really, it's amazing. They start by teaching the kids how to roll and how to stretch - very comfortable tasks to break into something new. The class always ends with a fun game of some sort and then the kids get to take a second with Sensei in a circle after class and have a quick group chat about how school is coming along or about who had a hard spelling test that week. It's hard to describe what it is exactly that makes the place so welcoming and such a perfect environment for the kids. I just know that I couldn't ask for better.
