    Sensei Seijo teaches the kids respect and discipline in addition to karate skills, and he also makes it fun.

    My now 16-year old has been taking classes at Enso for 6 years -the twice weekly T/Th evening…read moreclasses held in Oak Park- and loves this program! Enso is such a positive, highly supportive and structured program run by two amazing Sensei and a group of wonderful teaching assistants. The Chicago dojo is beautiful and easily accessible from the suburbs but it just works out for us to go to the Oak Park location in SW Oak Park. There are opportunities for competition if the child is interested but no pressure if that is not their thing. My son adores Enso and our family is so happy to be a part of the Enso community and grateful to have such an excellent program here in Oak Park! PS: Also grownups can train with Enso. It is not just for kids!

    Take the tai chi class in Chicago with instructor Chris Cinnamon! He has admirable…read moreand extremely effective teaching skills that combine elite yet effective verbal skills with an extensive martial arts background. He is fully present during his classes and conscientous in his efforts to assist the progress of his students. I have studied various arts over the years and have been exposed to over a dozen top flight instructors but I don't recall that any of them had the ability to articulate the art with the verbal facility that Chris has. It is so much easier to learn something when the instruction is clear. The collaborative and supportive spirit of the school/dojo is evident from the moment you walk in and the school is spotlessly clean.

    The Loop

    I'm giving this group three stars because I had wildly different experiences with it…read more I took a series of classes taught by Chimera and found the group's approach to women's self defense valuable, intuitively right, and different. The focus wasn't so much on teaching women a martial art, as to teach women to approach self defense from a number of angles, including developing awareness of situations that can put us at risk and at developing the confidence to react with assertion and power early and swiftly if threatened. After taking the classes, I remained in contact with the organization, and was asked to sit on its board, which I did for a limited time. Several years later, Chimera put out a call for new trainees, for women interested in learning how to become instructors of their classes, and I applied. I had worked for years in the area of women's safety, and had become a sexual assault victim advocate. I felt strongly that Chimera's approach to safety was a good one, and that I wanted to help teach it. Imagine my surprise when I was called for an interview many miles and an hour from my home, "told" I was to travel to the home of another applicant, a half hour from my home, pick her up, and bring her to the interview site, made to wait several hours to be interviewed, interviewed for a scant 10 minutes, and dismissed with a 'don't call us, we'll call you'. Several days later I was called, and told that I had not been chosen for the position because I "wanted to use their training for my own training'. Huh? How wacky was this? I was not so much upset that I'd not been chosen--I felt some relief after going through their unprofessional "interview process"--but I felt completely pre-judged, and wrongly. Hence the 'three stars': this is (was) a good approach to self-defense; the organization, however, still gives me serious pause.

    Sorry that Cam L had a bad experience. I am familiar with the group, and I know that in the early…read moreyears when they were doing outreach, there was no real structure to handle teacher training in new areas, and, as a result mistakes were certainly made. And I know they did address the issue as soon as they knew this approach needed more structure. But I am happy that Cam L was still generous enough to give the *curriculum* a thumbs up, which was very fair.
