Our Sparring class!!!
This meeting is for our Black Belt students who would like to improve their leadership skills. All our Masters and Grandmaster train the students(who are either volunteering in helping the class and also are Junior instructors), to improve their communication and teaching skills. Which means, they get the opportunity to teach the class — this way they learn how to deal with kids — while doing that, they themselves will get to know their skills and will be on their way perfection. A martial artist teaches themselves to get better and stronger. Our YK Junior Instructors are on their way to be stronger and better Martial Artist.
WELL DONE STUDENTS!
Proud of our 100+ participants that performed at the IL OPEN 2023 Championship!

SPARRING is a part of the Taekwondo curriculum where the students get to apply the techniques they learned, hands-on with an opponent. This is Riyansh, who is always excited to learn something new and he is absolutely fascinated about the Sparring classes with Grandmaster Yoon :)

Hello Everyone.
I am Grand Master Yoon, CEO of YK Martial Arts. I learned martial arts to help myself overcome shyness as a child. When I was 6, my father wanted me to grow into a strong man, thus he pushed me to learn Taekwondo. It taught me to respect other people and become self-motivating. I participated in many competitions and tournaments from middle school through college. I have around 15 years of competitions experience and around 10 years of tournaments experience. I have done more than 100 tournaments my whole life. Receiving a Black Belt is not easy but with effort and dedication, it is possible! I have 7th degree Black Belt in Taekwondo and 5th degree Black Belt in Hapkido. I am glad that you guys are/willing to be a part of YK Family!

Hapkido is a Korean martial art that focuses on self-defense. Techniques taught in class would be: joint locking, throwing, choking, and holds. The essence of this style is to gain advantage through technique to avoid using strength against strength. This makes Hapkido especially useful for small people, as they are not required to meet the full force of an attacker.

“I highly recommend YK Martial arts! Master Julian and Master Carlos are always so supportive and encouraging towards each child. Both my children have learned such important values such as discipline, respect, focus, and honesty consistently for the past 3+ years from Grandmaster and the rest of the amazing YK Staff. Overall I am so happy I made the decision to enroll my children in YK martial arts!”
