YI'S MARTIAL ARTS FITNESS ACADEMY

YI'S MARTIAL ARTS FITNESS ACADEMY We’re the Alton Riverbend's Oldest Premiere Martial Arts Training & Fitness Academy teaching ages 5- up.

My Father GM Yi In Soo “Chino Bob” started teaching in 1960 building up to 7 locations. Our Dojang Motto is “EMPOWERING LIVES THROUGH MARTIAL ARTS” GrandMaster Chris has been studying martial arts since he was four. In fact, he’s trained under numerous grandmasters, including his own father who founded our studio. He’s taken his lifelong passion and shared it with everyone who's visited Yi’s Marti

al Arts Fitness Academy. It’s here that you’ll find classes in realistic self-defense and anti-bullying techniques for young students and their families. In these fun and energetic sessions, we focus on things like Respect, Discipline, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, etc.... But what it all comes down to is our main mission statement: to build a community of leadership role models while empowering lives through martial arts one Black Belt at a Time!

This Memorial Day, Yis Martial Arts Fitness Academy family pauses to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country.

In every bow, every lesson in discipline, courage, respect, and perseverance, we carry forward values that so many heroes fought to protect. Their sacrifice reminds us that true strength is not only found in battle, but in selflessness, honor, and the commitment to protect others.

Today, we remember the fallen. We honor their legacy. And we stand together in gratitude for the freedoms we are blessed to live every day.

From all of us at Yi’sMartial Arts Fitness Academy — thank you to our heroes. 🇺🇸
