Reviewers praise the clean, spacious facility with multiple mats and amenities, along with welcoming staff and patient instruction suitable for all skill levels. Drop-in visitors frequently highlight the friendly atmosphere and detailed class structure. However, lower-rated reviews indicate recurring issues with rigid refund policies, where members report losing prepaid fees or deposits when canceling due to injury or relocation.

One of the nicest well kept and modern jjiu jitsu gyms I have ever been. I am a visitor to Chicago and needed to do a drop in today. I called they were friendly and nice in the phone.
When I arrived the gym was big and spacious. 2 big mats to train on and had nice gym equipment. Multiple showers, changing rooms, well-stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body soap.
Everyone was friendly and good to roll with. When I come back to Chicago will definitely drop in again. I would also recommend anyone in Chicago or visiting to stop by
In town for a wedding, dropped into a Thursday no-gi session - totally awesome, will come back next time I'm in town.
Class was good, everyone was super welcoming, and the rolls were equal parts competitive and controlled.
Coaching: Noah was understanding and patient, good technique and class structure, rolling with him was fun- seems like a solid dude
Facility: clean, they have changing rooms and showers
Training: not the highest level room, but thats generally fine- the biggest problem was a MUCH larger guy who was actively trying to injur me with kimuras. He clearly did not have a very deep game, and was just ripping the shoulder lock the moment he would get a wrist grip, regardless of how much control he had.
After asking him to take it easy, his response was one of the most inconsiderate things I've ever heard training this sport. Not everyone was like this, but if this behavior has gone consistently unchecked it is a clear sign of a poor gym culture, absent leadership, and lack of accountability from coaching staff and students alike.
This is the only gym in the world that I have dropped into, that I will not be returning to.
