Martial Arts Schools in Glenview

“Chang’s Tae Kwon Do has been in part of our family for 12 years now, since 2012. This was back when the dojang was in its Morton Grove location. Starting from when my older brother, Mr. Justin, started taking lessons to eventually becoming an instructor there. Throughout the years, as it transitioned to its current location in Glenview, Chang’s continues to be a place of empowerment and endless support for us.

As a five foot tall woman, I’ve always felt vulnerable and scared of situations that would leave me defenseless. I took a self defense class here my sophomore year of high school and Master Roger taught me invaluable lessons on how to protect myself. This is what initially got me to join, but what kept me was the amazing community of instructors, leaders, and students. You’re surrounded with such astounding humans who are all so motivated, strong, and make you feel that you belong there no matter your current level of fitness is. I attend the adults class and seeing so many people from varying age groups, from teenagers to people in their 20’s through 50’s doing TKD (doing it so well too under Chang’s accurate and coordinated tutelage) is so inspiring. Because of Chang’s, I’m a lot more comfortable in my environment. I always leave the class with a smile on my face and a readiness to tackle life’s challenges.

I would like to mention that they also host great birthday parties. For Mr. Justin’s 29th birthday, they helped coordinate a personalized, organized and active party. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate your birthday, Chang’s is such a fun and unique way to do so.

Finally, through the disciplines of TKD, they’ve instilled powerful life lessons that have helped me and especially Mr. Justin through challenging life events. Through Chang’s we were able to find family, a constant community that warmly accepts us and pushes us to be the best versions of ourselves. We love Chang’s TKD . We are so grateful to have Chang’s in our lives and even more thankful that Chang's TKD will continue to be in our future.“

“Our family has been with AKYI for almost 5 years. I am also a student and my son is in AKYI competition team. We feel very comfortable with Master Ray and Miss Amanda. They respect our decisions and never push us to do things we are not sure about. Highly recommend!“

“Best dojo in Illinois! Kids learn more in 1 hour than they do in a year somewhere else!“

“The teachers and students involved in this martial arts studio are top notch: supportive, disciplined, engaged. Everyone feels welcomed. It has helped my kid to become self confident, organized and motivated. Can’t recommend enough!“
