ChampYon Taekwondo was founded on the South side of Chicago by Grandmaster Luciano when his own Instructor passed on his own school to him. He then dedicated his life towards spreading the love of Taekwondo to everyone he has encountered and grew the brand to the International reputation we hold today. With Grandmaster Medina's two children, Masters Christian and Nedra Medina as full time instructors, ChampYon Taekwondo is truly a family business to the heart.
Our values stem from Grandmaster Medina's teaching and understanding of the Martial Art.
