“Our experience with the program has been nothing short of wonderful. Sensei Steve is beyond welcoming, he has such a genuine spirit and even in the short time we've been a part of the program, he's already made a truly positive impact on my boys. We've noticed a real focus on building confidence, discipline, and character.”

“I highly recommend Unlimited Martial Arts Academy! I have two children that attend and I have been amazed at the level of self-confidence and skill they are exhibiting after a short time (about 3 months) at the school. The staff is friendly and you can tell that they really care about the growth and development of their students.”

“I love my safety and self defense Sensai and family. I learned so much and regained so much strength and confidence. I went in weak and nervous and came out pain free from the work out and movements. The movements taught me to be alert and aware of my surroundings.”

“I started my grandson in Sensei Stephen's Jujitsu class 3 years ago. The first few months my grandson wanted to quit, but Sensei would pull him aside and talk to him and encourage him to not give up. Sensei Stephen treats these kids like they are his own.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience to start?

Absolutely not. Most of our students start with zero martial arts background. Our free orientation is specifically designed for beginners — we walk you through everything before you commit to anything.

What age groups do you accept?

We welcome students from age 3 all the way to 70+. We have dedicated programs for Tiny Tots (3–6), Youth (7–17), Adults, Seniors, and Women’s Self-Defense.

What is the free orientation?

The orientation is a 30–45 minute meeting with Professor Stephen C. White Sr. You’ll tour the facility, learn about the programs, ask any questions, and watch a class. There is zero pressure to enroll on the spot.

How long until I earn my first belt?

Belt progression depends on your consistency and effort, not a fixed timeline. Most dedicated students earn their first promotion within 3–6 months. We test when you’re ready, not on a schedule.

Are there contracts or long-term commitments?

We offer month-to-month memberships. We believe in earning your loyalty through results, not locking you in. Family discounts are available for multiple members.

Where are you located?

We are located in Markham, Illinois. We recently relocated from Lansing, IL and our entire community made the move with us. Call (773) 980-6531 for the exact address and directions.

Still have questions? We’re happy to talk.
