I love this place, I've been studying jujitsu there for years. I found them very accommodating as a newcomer, and quickly became hooked. The judo program, which trains at the same time as the Jujitsu, has and is training nationally ranked competitors, so they are obviously doing something right. The dojo is amazing.
Aikido brings so much energy to your body and soul. Everyone is respectful and the instructors are excellent. I have trained there for 8 years in traditional Japanese Aikido. Beginners are always welcome and can look forward to a safe environment in which to train. The owners are not in business to get your money.

After his graduation from high school in 1965, Pat received a B.A. in biology from North Central College in Naperville.

Aikido
Report
Aikido is a nonviolent Japanese martial art that teaches self-defense without injury to the attacker. The movements of Aikido enable the Aikidoist to harmonize with, rather than confront an aggressive line of attack. By doing so, the Aikidoist is able to convert the attack into a circular motion that renders the attacker helpless.
Judo
Report
Judo, which is translated as the "gentle way", teaches the principle of flexibility in the application of technique. This is the flexible or efficient use of balance, leverage, and movement in the performance of Judo throws and other skills. Skill, technique and timing, rather than the use of brute strength, are the essential ingredients for success in Judo.
