My kids love Chicago Karate Academy! I have 2 kids in the regular class and my youngest is in the Little Tigers class. They've been attending for over a year and a half now, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. Sensei Salas is the perfect combination of strict, patient, and encouraging. He pushes the students to do their best while still understanding their individual needs. My son has learned so much under his guidance- he's even won gold in his karate tournaments thanks to Sensei's teaching. Sensei Salas is patient and understanding with my autistic daughter. He always meets her where she's at and helps her feel confident and included. All 3 of my kids genuinely enjoy going to class and come home excited to tell me all the good and the bad. Highly recommend!
