“A Cut Above the Rest: Budokan Martial Arts

The Elgin Area Chamber of Commerce was honored to conduct a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Budokan Martial Arts on September 7, 2024. This esteemed martial arts academy is dedicated to fostering discipline, respect, and self-confidence in its students. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for the art, Budokan Martial Arts is a valuable asset to the South Elgin community. We wish them continued success in their mission to empower individuals through martial arts training.“

“We have been taking our sons here for 9+ years. Our youngest (I was pregnant when the older two joined) grew up watching his brothers and couldn't wait to join. It was his favorite birthday present! Grandmaster Hutson and Master Harville don't only teach "forms". They help teach our sons self-defense, respect, confidence, dedication/perseverance, patience, and community; building character and lifelong friendships. I recommend this school to everyone! Check out the website - there are family classes too.“
