Martial Arts for Adults and Teens River Forest, IL

Martial-Arts-Adults

Self-defense is a valuable skill because you never know when you will have to protect yourself or your loved ones in a dangerous situation.  Sr. GrandMaster Yu, and the rest of our instructors, always teach avoidance, which is the ability to recognize a dangerous situation and remove yourself to avoid confrontation and possible harm.

Learning the discipline of martial arts will help you develop this “sixth sense” to be more aware of your surroundings and any potential danger.

The physical activity of our martial arts classes can benefit you in the following ways:

  • Improved balance and physical performance
  • Increased flexibility
  • Better range of motion
  • Improved cardiovascular health
  • Stronger muscles and bones
  • Better focus
  • Keen awareness and instincts
  • Better emotional control
  • Stress relief
  • Increased energy level
  • Peace of body and mind

Learning martial arts is not just a physical endeavor, there is a mental element to the discipline as well.  At Master S.H. Yu Martial Arts, we emphasize the mental aspect of martial arts to make our classes a unique experience.  You will be able to improve your focus and help control your emotions including fear and anger.

The peace that martial arts brings to your mind can help you improve your concentration in your everyday life and better handle stress.  Each class session will leave you feeling energized and your energy level will only increase as you continue to practice.

“Since enrolling my son, I have seen incredible growth in his self-confidence, self-respect and physical coordination. Indeed, he was being so enriched and having so much fun, I joined myself and have enjoyed learning the new skills tremendously. Earlier this summer, we were in California and practicing our techniques together on the beach. Nothing on TV beats that.”
