From the reviews

When I started training BJJ I looked at a lot of schools in the Chicagoland area and attended trial classes at several that were well-reviewed and seemed reputable. Even though it is a long drive for me (40-60 mins), this is the school that impressed me most and has continued to impress over the last 1.5 years.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Jan 2016

Now there are plenty of places to "learn" jiu jitsu and boxing, but only a couple of them are top notch. New Breed is one of the best hands down. Their instructors are great and hold everyone accountable while still coaching and teaching the right way.

★★★★★ — Cbfb, Jan 2023

Excellent training facility. Top-notch instruction. If you're in the area, this is the place to train! I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 1.5 years and I have recently visited here and trained there several days while in Chicago - I looked up the school online - all good reviews on Yelp - I called, left a…

★★★★★ — Njstateauto, Mar 2014

I absolutely love it here!!! Everyone is beyond welcoming and supportive! I came in with no BJJ experience and brought a friend with me on my first day.

Your first kickboxing class at New Breed Training Center

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
