Hybrid Martial Arts and Fitness

Jonathan Lee

Maaaaan where do I start. As someone from LA who had moved out to Chicago with essentially no friends in the area, this gym really gave me a place to call home during my time in this city. I honestly consider the coaches and gym mates I’ve met here family now. These guys offer classes in a whole lot of martial arts, including Muay Thai, boxing, MMA, Brazilian jiujutsu, wrestling, and cardio kickboxing/bootcamp. Muay Thai and BJJ seemed to be the most frequent classes, as they were offered multiple times everyday (seemed to be the gym’s 2 main areas of expertise, if I had to choose). Coaches were simply phenomenal. Great diversity in teaching (some focused more on conditioning, others in technique). However, like anything, you get out what you put in. The coaches will do an amazing job of putting you in the best position possible and giving you all the tools necessary to succeed, but YOU have to be willing to put in the work to get results. I busted my butt training for 9 months, and these guys literally got me from damn near 0 experience to sparring regularly in the advanced classes, and that’s on TOP of losing an insane amount of weight. Keep pushing, and the coaches will respect that and work with you. This place welcomes anyone, whether you just want to try out a new hobby, learn how to protect yourself, or compete. I first joined just to learn self-defense, but by the end of my time here I was seriously (and still am) thinking about competing. The people here really love what they do, and their positive energy is infectious. They’re also real down-to-earth people who’d love to chat about common interests like sports, comics, or whatever. Train here, and you won’t regret it. The amount of growth you’ll go through will be priceless. Training aside, I’m real thankful for the memories and friends (brothers) I’ve made here. Best believe I’ll visit whenever I’m in town again! Till next time Hybrid!!!
