Harding's Family Martial Arts

We are so saddened to lose a Kajukenbo legend and a wonderful person. RIP Grandmaster Emil Bautista. You will truly be missed. ❤🥋♣️

Important announcement for all of our family and friends: We are truly heartbroken to announce that we are closing Harding's Family Martial Arts. This is an extremely tough decision that we have come to after a long period of evaluating all other alternatives for the future of the dojo, in consideration with many changes to our personal lives over the past few years as well as the unrecoverable financial burden that closing for the Covid-19 crisis has placed on the school.
We want to extend our most heartfelt gratitude to all of the wonderful students and instructors that have made training and teaching here over the past 11 years such a pleasure.
For any of our students wishing to continue their Kajukenbo training, we strongly suggest you to look in to the programs offered by our associates through the local park districts once they resume operations.
If anyone has any personal possessions at the school that they would like to claim, please contact us to set up an appointment to do so. Please note that the deadline for this is May 15th.

Due to the restrictions currently in place in Illinois, classes are cancelled until April 7th, and will resume once the shelter in place order is lifted.

Due to the precautionary measures being taken by the state and many other businesses, we have decided to cancel classes for this week, and we will re-evaluate the situation in another week and make a decision for classes at that point.
