U.S. Elite Martial Arts & Fitness Center Athletes Dominate State Taekwondo Championships!

Virgil Greer III, Neighbor

Congratulations to Team Elite MEDAL CHASERS for winning the Illinois State Championship and qualifying for the National Taekwondo Championship this past weekend on Saturday, March 8th, 2014.

This year over 800 students from many local martial arts schools throughout Chicago land area competed in the State Championship! Teal Elite Medal Chasers did extremely well and we are all very proud of them! For only practicing taekwondo six months out of the year due to the rotating curriculum they were victorious and dominated all of their competition, including all local Northwest Suburban Schools.  

Here are the winners for this year’s Illinois State Championship from U.S. Elite Martial Arts & Fitness Center located in Arlington Heights, IL
