This is going to be a little long, hopefully you'll find the background relevant…read more I've been disabled for 20 years. Severe chronic back pain from a car crash. I've gone through the pain management program at MarionJoy three times to no avail. Some of their docs really tried to help, others not so much. I've been to most if not all of the major pain specialists in the Chicago area, as well as several out of state, including Mayo Clinic. Tried every non-invasive procedure I could find (I wasn't a candidate for most surgical options): acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, various shots, etc. On a good day (once every month or two) I could go grocery shopping, but would be exhausted afterwards. Needed a cane for the past decade if I was going to walk more than 15-30 minutes. Walked like an 80-year-old most of the time. Everything took effort. Then I started at UMA for Qigong with Grand Master McGee. I've still got a ways to go, but have made vast improvements. I can go shopping most any time now, errands aren't usually a big deal, and I can usually cook once a day. Able to be more social, can sit and talk with company without too much discomfort, where it used to be completely exhausting. Haven't used the cane since. In short, I'm feeling human again. Grand Master McGee as well as the other students are a big part of that. Self-defence hasn't been a priority for me, but I'm learning quite a bit in addition to getting me healthy. I'm able to do most of what the rest of the class does, which I honestly didn't think I'd ever be capable of. Grand Master McGee really knows his craft.

She does a thorough evaluation. I'm being treated via acupuncture, cupping, and trans cutaneous stimulation. Most importantly is advice to other lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, stress management, and herbal medicine. I feel better since initiating treatment and know that my condition requires maintenance. Her clinic is on 2nd floor. It is clean and comfortable. She has two private treatment rooms. She explained to me that she started learning about TCM since 7 y.o.. I pay out of pocket for my treatments. My insurance does not cover. However, many flex benefit plans/ and health savings accounts include accupuncture. Very reasonable fees depending on service. Health is the ultimate investment of time, energy , and money.

You won't find better and more authentic Kung Fu place than Illinois Shaolin Kung Fu, for both,…read morekids and adults Kung Fu training. I've been training there for a year and a half together with my teenage son, and we both love it. We love authenticity of the place, love Master Chen and Sean and their style of teaching, love learning Forms and working with different weapons /staff, sword, broad sword, nunchucks, spear, even bull whip - we both love working with all of these, and I am a female/. To train with real Shaolin Master, captain of Shaolin Temple Performance Team side to side and to watch him going over the movements is unforgettable experience. Don't get me wrong, it's a hard work /that what kung fu means, hard work/, the warm up is like a bootcamp , cool down is another one , but you will definitely get in shape you've never been in and maybe loose few pounds. I also love flexible schedule, they have classes for every level almost every day, weekends too, you even have 2 options. I love parents train together with kids, we practice together with my son at home and test together, we have fun together. I also take Tai Chi class there and I highly recommend trying this one too. I can't speak of this place and quality of Master Chen's training highly enough. Thank you Illinois Shaolin Kung Fu Academy for this opportunity!

I found myself getting to a relaxed place to the point that I wasn't even aware I was breathing until Jim pulled me out of it. I realized I wasn't thinking about stress of work and didn't notice my back or shoulder afterwards which was surprising considering it was so cold and snowy at the time. I'd recommend this to anyone who would like to step out of their life to regain focus. Pretty amazing!

The teachers are amazing and the space is very calming. I've released a lot of emotions over the years of classes I've taken here. The classes range from fitness to meditation to holistic healing and sometimes a combination of all 3 of those. Also have loved the circles that I've done in the past. I was so surprised that a yoga studio like this exists in Homer glen--worth a long drive just to come to any of their classes or workshops!
