Kihap Martial Arts, Gurnee

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We offer high-quality Taekwondo classes that are based on a fixed curriculum that highly values goal setting and excellence. Students will have a well-rounded experience of our Fun & Fitness classes that are made up of fun Taekwondo drills and of course, our well-established Core-curriculum classes.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
Kihap Martial Arts was developed out of passion of our very own Master Joffrey Mejica, who is an international athlete. Master Joff hails from the Philippines and has trained in his home country, in South Korea where Taekwondo originated, and of course has competed here in the United States
