I've been a student here for more than 5 years, because of the excellent instruction from Professor Josh and the family atmosphere. An amazing mix of people here to enjoy a fun hobby and competitors who want intense training. Definitely a fun environment with something for everyone.
I’m visiting my daughter and got to join in a class yesterday. I’m so glad she’s training here!! The instructor really knows his stuff and made it a lot of fun! It was great to see first hand the emphasis on training safely (avoiding injuries!!) and quality instruction at this gym!
I was nervous about starting BJJ as someone well into their 30s. But I really wanted to try, so I finally signed up for a free lesson. Right away, Prof. Josh, Prof. Rob, coaches, staff, and students were all super welcoming, friendly, and patient. And students range from what appear to be 4 to 60. It really is BJJ for everyone, set your ego side and come in. It's true what they say, your only regret will be that you didn't join sooner. Highly recommend, thank you GB Champaign!!
