Chicago Mixed Martial Arts is not another run-of-the-mill gym. I feel the instructors genuinely care about your personal improvement and growth. They are very generous about their time and knowledge providing solid feedback and structure in helping you reach and maintain your desired results and goals. This is also reflected in fellow members which really makes the whole experience truly unique and making the learning and self improvement journey easier. CHICAGOMMA IS AWESOME!!! Great people!!!!

Your best bet for being taken seriously in the Chicago martial arts scene for an adequately skilled female fighter. They were willing to work with me and promote me while I was still relatively new to the gym on account of my ability and consistency.

The head coach Misho at Chicago MMA has a great BJJ philosophy which makes it very applicable to MMA. He teaches a 50/50 mix between stand-up and ground based training and has No-Gi classes every day. Most other BJJ gyms around Chicago are 90% ground based and focus on GI training, teaching lots of complex collar chokes which have no application outside of BJJ GI competitions. The Mauy Thai program is also great. The gym is clean, has lockers, is never too hot, and is very welcoming. I trained here for 3-4 months before I moved out of state, wish I started sooner.

Chicago MMA has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from day one. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, whether you’re a beginner or have experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to train in a positive and supportive environment!
