I love the culture at this gym. It's friendly and accessible, but a lot of actual fighters train here so you're getting very real experience. I've trained with Seng the most but have nothing but positive things to say about all the coaches I've had.
Coming from a more workout focused gym its a different experience holding pads and light sparring opposed to just bag work. You learn a lot from more experienced students and stuff that seems good on a bag doesn't translate to an opponent. I look forward to continuing to improve my fighting skills here.
I can't say enough great things about Chicago MMA. I'm almost 40 now and in the best shape of my life and still improving. I've also made some great friends and had some great times. The instruction and coaching is top notch. I've become a new and better person since joining this gym. Don't hesitate, just do it.
I've been going to Chicago MMA for a decade; and that is because we have skilled instructors and students who want to learn and get better. It's an environment where the beginner can feel good on their first day of training and for the experienced to get pushed to their limit in preparation for a match.
One of THE BEST MMA/Muay Thai gyms I've been too. Everyone is helpful, Knowledgeable, Very welcoming, and the instructors are amazing! I have loved every class I have attended. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Training here! Been here for 1.5 years and I don't regret anything!
Great gym! You'll learn a lot, have fun, and always get a good workout. Everyone at the gym is friendly and welcoming. Coach Seng is awesome. He goes out of his way to make sure everybody gets the attention they deserve, improves their skills, and feels challenged.
Great rapport with the instructors and class size allows for more attention to details
Best pound 4 pound gym of all Chicago. Learn world class technique in both striking and grappling arts!
I tried several classes at more than 20 martial arts schools in Chicago, looking for "The Best". Chicago Mixed Martial Arts makes top 3 easily.
1. The teachers know their stuff with years of real life applications. Actual MMA vets and champions teach you there.
2. Price, (the "make or break" for a lot of people) honestly a great starter price and the equipment you get with it surpasses most others offerings.
3. The location is easy to get to for parking and public transportation.
