I remember when I was a child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!
When I opened my school in 2006, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Chicago by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

Kuk Sool is the style of martial arts practiced by Warrior Institute of Chicago students. Kuk Sool is a beautiful and dynamic “hard-soft” style of martial art, emphasizing speed and fluidity. At the same time, it is an elegant and powerful system that integrates the body, mind, and spirit.
The exercises and postures of Traditional Korean Martial Art are designed to incorporate and work all levels of your body. The breathing techniques connect your body and mind, and the concentration exercises are designed to improve your speed and mental skills. The practice of Traditional Korean Martial Art energizes you for the day or diffuses tension from a stressful one. Kuk Sool naturally aligns your body structure and allows your body to move freely with increased agility, balance, and grace.
It is a building process. The foundation is laid with individual components being learned first, and training divided up into stages with each stage building upon the next.
The physical training behind Traditional Korean Martial Art is very specific and includes weight resistance training, aerobic & anaerobic conditioning, total body training, hand/foot building, and strengthening techniques.
The journey from White Belt to Black Belt is one of incremental learning and skill development, that students of any age and fitness level can embark on.
One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!
From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!
