    Depends on what you are looking for. Chicago has some excellent judo clubs and even a few good jujutsu dojos. There are also a lot of flakes, as you might expect in a city this size.

    Send me an e-mail at budokai@concentric.net and let me know what area is closest to you, south side, north side, western suburbs, etc. I can forward a list of dojos and contact numbers.

    Thumbs up

    I recommend Bob Schirmer's All-American Dojo in Cicero. Bob is an excellent teacher.
    With respect,

    I agree, in a city the size of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs there are quite a few good schools and I'm sure some that are less desirable. It depends on what you are looking for in a school really. Before relocating to the "left coast" I was involved with Miyama Ryu for a number of years. I found it to be very good and the cost very reasonable. They have several locations, which can be found here...

    Thanks for the input and welcome to E-Budo. I must point out though that it is a policy here that you use your full name when posting.

    A simple method is to add it to the signature area of your profile.

    Thanks

    To whom it may concern: Dr. Stephen Fabian sensei, American Honbu-cho of Hontai Yoshin Ryu, is located in Naperville, IL, about an hour and a half west of downtown Chicago. If you want some good classical jujutsu and weapons, drop him an email. He can be reached at stfabian@noctrl.edu.
