Awesome place to learn and grow. Been coming here for almost 3 years and dont plan on stopping. Instructors and students want you to succeed and it shows, its a gym that pushes you to be more and treats you like family.

This is an amazing gym, full of stellar people! I live in Sioux Falls and making it to their open mat on Sundays is something I thoroughly look forward to! There is a wide spectrum of levels in this gym from beginners to world medalists! Instruction from Cary is well articulated, and easy to digest! The gym is clean, the people are friendly, and they aren’t afraid of hard work! If you’re in the brookings area I can’t recommend enough that you stop in!

The Muay Thai coach and the BJJ coach always put their best into every class. They really emphasized safety and genuinely cared about everyone training there. The coaches and members treated me like part of the team, and the training was both fun and challenging. I’m leaving for military service, but if I return, I’ll come back here for sure. Thank you for everything!

I’d been wanting to start training martial arts for several years but was worried my lack of background and exposure to the culture may eventually choke that desire out(pun intended). I could not have been more wrong. The instructors and members are incredibly supportive and patient as they train with you no matter your skill level. Safety is priority number one. Everyone wants to see you do better and I never once felt like an outsider. My passion to train grows with every class. I highly recommend everyone gives No Illusions a try. You won’t regret it!
