| THE SCHOOL Chang's Martial Arts Academy, belongs to an association of individually owned, Chicago-area schools. All the schools bear the Chang's name and are named in honor of the owners' teacher, Grandmaster Chang Seo Park. The Lincolnwood dojang (school) is owned and operated by Instructor Chuck Westcott. THE OWNER & CHIEF INSTRUCTOR Instructor Westcott has been involved with martial arts for over 20 years. He currently holds multiple black belts in both Taekwondo and Modern Arnis. "Mr. Chuck" is a graduate of Northwestern University and the DePaul University College of Law. He opened the Lincolnwood dojang in June of 2004. THE ARTS Chang's Martial Arts Academy offers instruction in three martial arts. Study of any one of these arts will provide the student with intense physical and mental training as well as practical self defense skills. Tae Kwon Do is a modern Korean martial art and sport. It is similar in many ways to Karate, but relies more heavily upon kicking techniques. The name means "Way of the Foot and the Fist". Taekwondo has been an Olympic sport since its introduction at the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympic games. Modern Arnis is an eclectic Filipino art that combines stick fighting, empty-hand techniques, locks, throws and edged weapon defense. It was developed by the late Grandmaster Remy Amador Presas who introduced the art to the United States in the early 1980s. More information about Arnis is available at www.modernarnis.net. Tai Chi Chuan is a Chinese internal martial art known in the United States primarily for its health benefits. However, the same exercises that improve health, relaxation, balance and flexibility generate tremendous power and contain devastating self-defense techniques. The Academy is privileged to have Instructor Tim Chapman teaching this fascinating and challenging art. |
