Looking for martial arts in Bolingbrook? Many Bolingbrook families choose World Class Tae Kwon Do for the quality of instruction and the program, and find that the drive west along 75th Street or Boughton Road to Route 59 is an easy one, especially on Saturday mornings.
Our students from Bolingbrook attend Valley View District 365U schools and Plainfield District 202 schools on the village's southwest side, and our after-school class times are built around a suburban school day.
Getting here from Bolingbrook
From the Promenade Bolingbrook and Boughton Road, head west; Boughton becomes 75th Street in Naperville and runs straight to Route 59. Turn north and we are on the right, just past 75th Street in the Fox Valley area. From the south end of Bolingbrook near Weber Road and I-55, 111th Street or 95th Street west to Route 59 works just as well. Either route is about 20 minutes.
Why the drive is worth it
- Instructors with real credentials. Master TJ Eskew and Master Dennis Polanski each bring 15+ years of teaching and trained under Grandmaster Sun Ki Chong, former U.S. National Team Head Coach.
- A program for every family member. Ages 5 through adult, with classes stacked back-to-back so siblings and parents can train on the same trip. See family martial arts.
- Life skills first. Focus, confidence, respect and self-control are the core of the curriculum. Kicks and forms are how we teach them.
- Saturday classes for every age between 9:20 and 11:25am, ideal for Bolingbrook families who want weekday evenings free.

What parents say
“We highly recommend World Class Tae Kwon Do. The masters are the exact role models that a parent wants for their children. Teaching life skills far beyond a martial art. Skills such as goal setting, hard work, team work, self confidence, and dedication.”
“This school has made such a huge impact on both my grade school age son and high school age daughter's confidence, drive and respect for others. I can't say enough good about the instructors and the level of care they give to each and every one of their students! Highly recommended!”
“I cannot praise Master Eskew, Master P, and Miss Gates enough. The 3 of them are fantastic teachers, enthusiastic, and great with both kids and adults. The encouragement and attention they give is second to none. Highly recommend this school and these instructors.”
