Evolution MMA Chicago - Schaumburg

I called in to train here when on a work trip from the UK. What a fantastic bunch of people! Very welcoming and superb instruction. Lots of skilled and experienced athletes here who are happy to roll with you and make you feel at home. Highly recommended.

My boys and I have been training bjj in Alliance and we are privileged to be part of this gym. All the coaches are not only experienced and knowledgeable but inspiration to us all. Everyone knows how great the adult classes and programs are but the new kids’ program that recently started in the Schaumburg’s location needs special recognition and kudos due to the commitment and dedication of the kids’ coach Michael Shawn. I want to share how grateful I am for all he does, as not only my boys were afraid to compete, but thanks to the self-confidence he instilled in them - my older son competed last weekend and got his first gold medal. This was one of the best experiences according to him. Thank you, coach Mike, for working with the kids so hard!!!

I have been at Evolution MMA roughly for about a year and I absolutely love the coaches and atmosphere. They really do put an emphasis on caring for your wellbeing, making training fun and encouraging. I mostly did the boxing sessions and absolutely appreciated coach Dean and TJ, They are really good teachers and even greater humans. Highly recommend this place!!!

Experienced, friendly instructors. Lots of 1 on 1 time. Various grappling and striking classes available, 7 days a week!

Dropped in for a Gi class while on a business trip and had a great experience. Actually did 2 classes: fundamentals and advanced (I am a blue belt… felt a bitlike newbie in advanced with only white belt and me. The rest were purple and up, but my partner, brown, was very supportive) The gym was clean, well-organized, and welcoming to visitors. The coach ran a structured class with solid technical details. Training partners were respectful, skilled, and supportive—perfect mix of intensity and safety. Definitely a spot I’d return to if I’m back in the area.
