Fantastic experience: Thee best gym I've ever been apart of with affordable prices and the equipment for any aspiring MMA fighter.

Fantastic experience: Trust Master Asu and his black belt instructors to get you started rolling properly.

Fantastic experience: As a total gym rat, I can say that Champion Jiu Jitsu has excellent facilities and excellent instructors. I really enjoy my workouts - they are great cardio and great for co-ordination and balance.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in to train from out of town. This is a great place to train. Good instructors and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: The instruction received at this school is very intense but at the same time the teachers give you the material you need to succeed both physical and mentally. The teachers are very talented martial artists and I hold the utmost respect for them. They also recognize the variations of ability level of students and effectively work with them to assist them in learning what they need to know. They are very equipped masters in their respective fields and along with teaching the style teach core life values that are forever instilled in my mind. I HIGHLY recommend this dojo if you wish to learn martial arts. Their BJJ classes are some of the best I have taken. They have a very well equipped up-to-date facility as well. Five out of five stars in my book.

Fantastic experience: Master Asu is the best instructor there is known! I've been training for over 10 years on and off but he has been the only one to help me get back into shape. There curriculum has everything there is to offer to spice things up and provides a variety to your daily workout reigmen. The school is completely welcoming and provides a sense of a family-friendly atmosphere. The new and improved gym is awseome and definitely recommend everyone to come train at Spider Gym!

Fantastic experience: I am member of Spider Gym. I've been a member for over 6 years. I don't always make to class due to my busy schedule but on the day I do go, I always leaving feeling so energized and motivated to come agaain for another class. There are many classes their that you can choose from, Kickboxing, Martial Arts, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and what I love more about this place is that they are always trying to add more classes so that they're students can get their money's worth. Oh and they are starting a Bikram yoga soon, I am soo excited. You must come to this gym, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: My husband has been taking BJJ classes at Spider Gym MMA for about a year now and is loving it. He used to attend a Jiu Jitsu school years and years ago but is now really into the brazilian style and loves the instructors and curriculum at Spider Gym. It's a great physical fitness regime and definitely beats hiring a personal trainer. We enrolled our son a couple of days a week into one of their after school programs and he really loves being like his daddy. At home he plays submission wrestling with his dad and keeps talking about wanting to get his black belt. Anyway, we just wanted to say a big thanks for all of the support and training tips.

Fantastic experience: I started a class of boxing last month and it was really cool . I enjoyed every class more and more ... The coachs have a really good energy and make everyone feel special. Although, the classes are not private, you still feel that you're getting that one-on-one focus from your coachs. They also offer a variety to choose from, so for those who are not big fan of boxing, there are various martial art classes to choose from and I beleive they are starting a Bikram/Hot yoga class next month, sep, 2013.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for anyone who wants to get into jiu-jitsu. joined with no experience but everyone made me feel right at home and always is there to help.

Fantastic experience: One of the best places with best coaches.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad that I did the 6-Week Challenge. When I first started I didn’t realize how out of shape I was but after completing the challenge I have so much more energy and I sleep better. I love how engaged and patient the instructors are despite how intense the training. Champion Jiu Jitsu is for everyone. I look forward to learning more and getting stronger.

Fantastic experience: Great family environment, my sons and daughters train here and they love it, my 2 sons compete and so does 1 of my daughters the coaches at Champion have helped them through every step of the process. My other son and daughter do not compete but they still get to enjoy the art of BJJ and feel just as apart of the team as everyone else. Awesome environment and team! OSS!

Fantastic experience: We are so happy we found Champion Jiu Jitsu! Coaches have been incredible with all of my kids. Highly skilled, patient and caring staff of people that created an outstanding learning environment that have made my kids feel comfortable, motivated and always wanting to come back. We started At Champion JJ about a year ago, and so far it is the best decision I have made for my kids. The staff love what they are doing and it shows! I highly recommend Champion Jiu Jitsu! Thank you Champion JJ for everything you do.

Fantastic experience: By far the best location to become a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner or just to burn some calories and form great bonds. Coach Enes, Coach Will, Master Asu including all other coaches and high belt practitioners are very welcoming and make you enjoy your time here. I can say If you decide to pick up a hobby this is the location to do it. Home away from home.

Fantastic experience: I find Champion Jiu Jitsu to be an enjoyable, egalitarian, and accommodating environment to learn in, surrounded by individuals from various backgrounds. I appreciate the intimate morning classes, as well as the larger evening sessions. I am excited to progress as a part of the Champion Community.

Fantastic experience: I had wrestled on a high school level for three years and taken some other related training around two decades ago, but then had on-and-off experience for a long time. When I returned to the mats six weeks ago, it was a challenge for me, especially after such a long break. Fortunately, the coaches Enes and Will were very supportive and created a friendly atmosphere, which made it easier for me to feel comfortable at Champion BJJ. I also appreciate that there are people of all skill levels here, allowing me to experiment with different techniques and to keep learning. Before coming here, I thought I knew a fair bit about ground wrestling and submissions, but this experience has opened my eyes to the vast number of other techniques. I'm grateful for the opportunity to take classes here and to learn at my own pace.

Fantastic experience: I recently turned 36 and decided to join a gym to get more exercise. It has been great - the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and they are always there to make corrections when needed. I also enjoy the fact that I can practice with more experienced members, which helps me learn more. The atmosphere is positive and there is a wide range of class times available, which is great for me since I have a job, family and other commitments. I've been able to find a schedule that fits into my lifestyle and I'm already feeling the benefits.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great gym! I have already noticed improvements to my game in the short amount of time I've been training here. The gym is kept clean and well lit, and has a professional and positive atmosphere that is great for learning. The instructors seem very knowledgeable and thorough when demonstrating techniques.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for an opportunity to start training some type of martial art, and then the stars aligned and I saw that this gym was offering a 6 week challenge for free. Of course I signed up and I have no regrets. Everyone at the gym is extremely supportive and interested in not only developing their skills, but helping you grow your skills as well. I’ve been focusing on BJJ and even though I’m still getting messed up during rolling, I’m levels above where I was 6 weeks ago in terms of my skill level. So, if you’re looking for a way to get your foot into the world of martial arts, there’s no better place to start than here.

Highly recommend this place if you want to start practicing martial arts or switch from other type of butt kicking to more efficient one ;)

Fantastic experience: Very good coaching and quality students one of the best I’ve experienced

Fantastic experience: I have tried few Bjj places around this area but this place is the best! I started training few months back having back problems on and off for years from mostly sitting at work and few weeks later everything went away... coach William is a great young coach learning a lot from him every day, very technical, patient, conscious soul not to mention master coach Asu which I think there is not a lot of BJJ coaches out there that has jiu jitsu knowledge like him! I would recommend this place for beginners and advanced people in Bjj! It’s a great awesome feeling to learn from people who love what they doing for living!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality , Value I participated in the 6-week BJJ challenge and would like to say that it was one of the best decisions in my life. Very good atmosphere to be around. Master Asu and his team are very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring about their students' progress. I highly recommend Champion JJ to anyone who would like to learn and practice BJJ.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience visiting this location and meeting the coach. I truly enjoyed it!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I took part in the 6-week BJJ challenge in March 2021; it was an excellent choice. Master Asu and his team are incredibly welcoming, well-informed, articulate, and committed to helping their students succeed. I would highly suggest Champion JJ to anyone looking to learn and practice BJJ, as they offer great communication, professionalism, quality, and value.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Champion JJ for 13, almost 14 years come January of 2021. I've come to share many great memories and experiences with the team and Coach Harvard,who I consider a close friend, mentor and brother. There's a reason this gym has been running for as long as it has in the NW suburbs of Chicago. I believe in this gym, not only for myself but for my own family. My brother now trains with me and soon my young son will be on the mats. If you have ever considered checking out jiu-jitsu, do yourself a favor and stop by, talk to the team members ask questions, get the "vibe" of the place and you will quickly realize there is no better place to train, learn great techniques, get in shape and most importantly become part of a family.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Probably one of the best Gyms to train in the world if you really want to be one of the best (And I can state it with confidence since I've been training all over the globe). Master Asu one of the most talented, professional, skillful coaches I've met in my life. There are also great amount of professional athletes and black belt you can learn from. The training atmosphere is amazing, super friendly. I strongly believe it's a great place for kids and adults whether they want to be strong and healthy or want to become Champions.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with great instructors. Great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly. ASU is top notch.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome, because they care about respect, making sure we don’t injure each other, yet we get an amazing workout with tough people. The Master Asu really knows his stuff, he not only tells you The moves and techniques, but goes into depth as to why that works and all the defenses to it as well. If your interested just try it out.

Fantastic experience: Best coach in all america without any doubt . Coach Asu has a different level of bjj he is the real O.G of this game , I`m very grateful to train with him and his team and I recommend to everybody who wants to be good .

Fantastic experience: Best Jiu Jitsu gym in Chicago. Great if you wanna improve self defense or mma skills. Is fun, enjoyable, and has a friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been lucky enough to train with Assou for almost 15 years now. Assou has been there at every step in my BJJ journey since I was 6. Along with becoming a champion in the sport, Assou has also prepared me for behind a champion in life. Currently I’m a sophomore in college, and Assou has inspired me and other students to work hard in the classroom and pay attention to the details. Champion JJ will not only teach to become the best in the sport, but also the best in life.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I signed up with my 6 year old son. Great atmosphere,people and instructors. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in BJJ.

Fantastic experience: Coach Asu is the best master that I met !! Chicago is not cooler with Jiu Jitz Than there. Black food, and white, there are all levels and girls also go. There is no better MMA club.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at other MMA and Jiu Jitsu schools in Europe and USA in the past, but Champion Jiu Jitsu Martial Arts Academy really stands out tall in all of them. There are a lot of reasons, why I am still sticking to this Academy since the last 5 years but first and foremost is the instructor. Prof. Master Asu Harvard, who is not only an extremely talented Jiu Jitsu athlete, but also possesses an exceptional talent for teaching. He engages the students not only on individual level in a way that makes them champions but also in a group setting, where everybody can improve his/her style, technique and stamina. He is the most friendly, personal and talented trainer I have ever met, who always gives you a feeling of ownership and proud for this academy. The facility in Wheeling Illinois itself is "Japanese clean", the mats are disinfected and cleaned everyday, the Mens and Womens changing rooms are adequate and neat. There is also a separate Dojo for individual and extensive training, for the ones who want to compete on different levels. Lastly, I must mention the overall environment, upon entering one is personally greeted by Professors Wife, who also takes care of all the administrative stuff in this Academy. In the years I have been training here I met some of the nicest and interesting people. The students here are diverse in background, age, gender, and by physique. Everyone is incredibly respectful, friendly, and genuine. Joining this academy was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym I have been coming here for half a year and everytime i come to class I learn so much! For the first 3 months I trained with Master Asu i won first place in my NAGA tournament. I totally suggest coming to this gym if you want to learn how to protect yourself or just be in shape.

Fantastic experience: I'm very happy,that we have found this gym. Kids class is awsome!

Fantastic experience: My daughter trains at this gym and loves it. She has been here for 6 months and has learned more than she did at her last school in a year and a half. Every class is very intense and she walks away with a feeling of accomplishment. We know this was the best decision we made for her and her training. We know Master Asu will take her far.

Fantastic experience: I am training here many years. Very smart teacher, he care about the students to be good in jiujitsu. Everyday he is in the gym coaching but if he is not there he have many black belt of his helping all the time. He coached many instructors in Chicago he is a like father of Chicago BJJ very respectable person, all of his students are all nice people. Gym itself is very clean, very large mat space , mma cage and many boxing bags. Everybody friendly and helpful. I recommend to come and feel it by yourself. Oss!
