Workshops & Seminars at

Chicago Balintawak Martial Arts

At Chicago Balintawak Martial Arts, workshops and seminars are more than special events—they’re how we give back to the community, deepen our training, and stay connected to the wider Filipino Martial Arts and martial arts world.

Throughout the year, we host, participate in, and collaborate on workshops focused on self-defense, Filipino Martial Arts, and practical skill development. Some are designed for complete beginners. Others are opportunities to train with senior instructors and Grandmasters you won’t normally find in a weekly class.

Whether you’re local to Evanston, Skokie, Niles, or the north side of Chicago—or you’re traveling in for a special event—our workshops are a way to learn, sweat, and grow together.
