Dynamite kickboxing is back in Chicago ! Coach Raul is great, attention to detail in his instruction for grasping combat skills and techniques is second to none. I have enjoyed seeing his business/gym grow as he now offers Jiu Jitsu in his gym. Raul is a great guy and a great coach.

This place is the real deal. I love the kickboxing style and with how coach Raul runs his classes. Very technical and bazooka type combos are just so much fun to do. When he opened up back up in Chicago I had to come back to train. Great place to train.

Cannot speak highly enough about this place and Coach Raul. His dedication and pride in his work and the sport is more than apparent when working with him. I've taken both the standard classes and the one on one personal training and they are all outstanding values. If you're looking to get in the best shape of your life, became an exceptional kickboxer or just be apart of an exceptional community Dynamite is the place for you

I recently trained at Dynamite Kickboxing at their new space in Chicago. Coach Raul (striking) and Professor Arthur (bjj) are top shelf. The space is super clean with all new mats and gear for classes. Its clear that they put a LOT of time, energy and pride into the gym. This place will be on everyone's radar very soon.

Dynamite is THE place if one wants to learn the style and mindset of Kickboxing in Chicago. Raul is professional, wonderful to work with, takes preparation for his classes seriously, and I’m happy he moved back to Chicago. It’s awesome he decided to offer BJJ as well and give Arthur an opportunity to build that program. This is what the Chicago Martial Arts Community needed, and I looked for to learning as I go and grow.
