New Breed Training Center

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. The kids classes are solid as can be my boys have been here for years so this is a long overdue review, but they absolutely love coming here and training even on hard days when they get pushed past their comfort zone. Highly recommend to anyone new or experienced!

I trained here during my winter break. Phenomenal facility, instructors, and training. I will certainly be back!

One of the best gyms with the most welcoming and knowledgeable instructors. New Breed is exceptional in it’s devotion to their student’s development and to their extremely comfortable and supportive atmosphere. This is one of the few places where anyone can walk in and immediately feel supported. Whether you are just beginning your Jiu Jitsu journey or are a seasoned practitioner, this place will guide you in the right direction.

I moved to Chicago a couple of years ago and took my time testing out a few BJJ schools in the area. After stepping into Newbreed Training Center, I knew I had found the best. The environment here is unmatched—strong, supportive, and filled with camaraderie. The coaching staff is outstanding, with deep knowledge and a clear passion for teaching. Mark, the head coach, is an active competitor who brings a wealth of real-world experience to every class. His dedication and expertise elevate the training to a whole new level. The team here is incredible—motivated, welcoming, and always willing to help each other grow. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll feel right at home while continuously being pushed to improve. I couldn’t recommend Newbreed Training Center enough!

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. I‘ll admit it was intimidating at first and it completely tested my comfort boundaries but I was quickly reassured that New Breed is a safe space to be vulnerable and that everyone understands where you’re coming from. They’re very patient and will walk you through any questions you have. When I say everyone, I really do mean everyone!! And from all belt levels too, not just the instructors!! It’s a very encouraging community and they want to see you grow! Highly recommend! You’ll have a remarkable experience every time you go in 🙌🏼
