    Protect Your Skin – Protect Your Team

    🏥 Protect Your Skin – Protect Your Team🥋🥊 Combat sports like Muay Thai kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/grappling, and MMA are high-contact activities that come with a higher risk of skin infections.

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!

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.
