My family loves this gym! The professors are some of the best around and the members are are wonderful. Really feels like family. They offer gi and no gi jiu jitsu classes for children, teens, women, beginner, intermediate and advanced. They also have a kickboxing/striking class as well as classes in the morning for homeschool students. My husband and boys have been students at this gym for 4+ years!

I am 51 and brand new to Jiu Jitsu. I have been training here for about 3 months. The community is absolutely amazing and the coaches are so supportive and encouraging. Everyone helps each other to get better every roll. Highly recommend!

I’ve been training here for 2 years now along with my 2 daughters. I love the family focus and positive environment that the academy gives off. Thank you Ares Peoria for your positive impact you’ve had on not only myself but my family as well.

We’ve been bringing our daughters here to train for almost two years, and we absolutely love the family-focused environment. Jujitsu has truly helped them build focus and a determination to improve for themselves. Every coach knows each child by name, and it truly shows how much they care. Thanks to Coach London and Coach Carsen for their dedication to helping every child develop discipline and self-confidence.

I train the 6 a.m. classes with Professor London Horn, and it’s honestly the best way to start the day. The instruction is top-notch—technical, practical, and taught by active competitors who actually live this stuff. The brotherhood here is real. Everyone helps each other get better. It’s not just a gym, it’s a legit community. Love this place.
