We love martial arts and would be happy to share our experience with you. Feel free to read on, then come judge for yourself.
We've tried to create a website where you can learn about us and what your experience would be like if you practiced martial arts here. In short, you'll learn practical martial arts in a welcoming community. By coming here, you can get fit, learn useful self defense skills, make new friends - and we think, have fun too! (You should understand our idea of having fun is learning new techniques, getting a good workout, practicing with friends who are building their skills and helping us build ours too :-))

More Student Testimonials
"I was nervous about joining Degerberg Academy at first, because I am shy and get intimidated by large groups. From my first day though, I found that the staff as well as the other students are like a big caring family. Although you are pushed to be your best there is a lot of care and help given."
Salvador F., 28, Chicago
"I was surprised at how effective Mr. Degerberg's blend form is. The instructors and assistants are highly effective at having people move beyond their perceived limits. My participation in this education has had immense value in many areas of my life, and I expect that value to further unfold over time."
Jeremy M., 24, Chicago

Imagine this: You instinctively know what to do in ANY situation
By training in Degerberg Blend, you will learn to use whatever the situation calls for, without thinking about it.
In one Blend class you may learn how to defend against a punch (boxing), handle someone who grabbed you (aikido or judo) and how to avoid an attack with a weapon (kali). In the next Blend class, you may learn powerful knees (muay thai), what to do if you're fighting close up (wing chun or jun fan) and what to do if you are falling to the ground during a fight (capoeira).
You may also choose to practice a specific martial arts discipline. We offer boxing, tai chi, muay thai, jun fan, kali and more. Phone for current Class Information.
The philosophy is to appreciate and learn from all martial arts. This approach builds an incredibly capable martial artist. You'll learn how to deal with any situation. No matter what is thrown at you, you'll learn to act quickly and effectively.

Student Testimonials
"The greatest advantage Degerberg Academy has over most schools in the area is a broad-based approach to training. The diverse techniques incorporated in the curriculum, makes this school second to none."

No other martial arts school trains you like this
If you wanted to learn the best from many martial arts without coming here, you'd have to go to a karate school, then a boxing gym, then judo dojo, then wing chun class, then kali class... Imagine the time and expense of going to many different schools to learn how to defend yourself in any situation.
Whatever your skill level is right now, you can learn great new skills and have fun here. If you're a Beginner with no martial arts experience, don't worry. If you're uncoordinated, don't worry. You will learn a lot here. In each class, you're practicing at your pace and skill level. Each time, you're building your muscle memory and each time, you're getting better and faster.
Bando Grandmaster Dr. Maung Gyi:
"Grandmaster Degerberg is one of America's martial arts visionaries. He was the first person in the United States to introduce the concept of crosstraining. He realized the importance of blending the best of different systems. He is the originator of the eclectic and integrative system of martial arts."
