Our dynamic Martial Arts Program in Chicago and Dolton , IL has something for everyone. Children gain rock solid self-confidence, build unshakable self-esteem, and hone razor sharp focus, while adults get fit, improve flexibility and quickly eliminate stress!
Hi! My name is Sensei John R. Venson, and I’m very PROUD that hundreds of families all over the Metro Chicago and Dolton area are singing the praises of our programs and telling their friends and neighbors how much of a positive impact it’s having on their lives. (You can see some of these stories for yourself on the “Reviews” page!)
Our students are surprised by how easy it is to get started, and delighted that they don’t have to be “already in great shape” to truly enjoy their new classes. Parents who enroll their children are amazed at how patient and genuine our instructors are, and how quickly their child makes clearly observable improvements in their level of focus and confidence!
But the best way to see if our program would be a good fit for you or someone in your family is to try it for yourself.
Get started now with one of our WEB SPECIALS and find out how you can be healthier, happier, and more confident with Just for Kicks – The Martial Arts University training!
Our members tell us that our school is more of an institution of self-improvement, physically and mentally, rather than just a gym or some “activity.” It feels like a family. We concentrate on building the whole person: Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.
We pride ourselves on helping our adult members safely build lean muscle, quickly burn fat, gain flexibility, and relieve stress in a FUN, positive, and injury-free environment!
Parents all over the Dolton and Metro Chicago area have given martial arts classes at Just For Kicks credit for increasing their child’s ability to focus in school and at home, helping to build their self-esteem, and igniting a passion for self- improvement they never would have expected.
The martial arts are not “just” about self-defense!
In reality, the physical “kicking and punching” are really just tools that we use at Just For Kicks to teach the more important, and MUCH more valuable lessons about yourself and life.
By practicing physical self-defense skills, you will follow the proven path for successful living based on discipline, focus, and perseverance.

Gwendolyn Williams2022-09-22This class has truly been a blessing to my daughter. My daughter has developed more confidence, structure and discipline. The other kids are just as awesome...willing to help the rookies with their movements. My daughter is very happy with the instructors and I am extremely happy with the program as a whole.vera taylor2022-09-11My baby used to be an ancy little thing always fidgeting biting her fingers. Her self confidence has gone up 5 notches since she began. It's a different world when you step into the culture of karate; it's about discipline, respect, and focus. She has been taught all of this and more and loves karate and the dojo staff immensely. Respect!Akir Lfto2022-02-02I’ve been going for a 2 week and completely enjoy it has a great training facility kids are friendly and helpful the instructors very great with Discipline overall 10/10 I definitely recommend.Satin McKelvey2021-10-14My son really enjoys this Martial Arts School. Just for Kicks has not only taught my son how to defend himself but has taught him life lessons that he can forever use in life.Richard Newton2021-04-24My children attended this School and now my grandson. For them all it has been more than about self defense, it has build confidence and given them the skills for public speaking. Most of all it has reinforce what our house holds believe and is the importance of team work, education, respect and church.
