The staff are very cool and friendly to everyone that decides to start classes or just come to check out the set up. You can bring in friends or family to check out one of the classes.

So when you want to get that beach body or if your looking to become a fighter... come train at Oakley fight club with me.

Genuinely can't say enough good things. The teachers are really encouraging, and the environment is…read morewelcoming and fun- I came in with zero experience, and have never felt out of place or uncomfortable. There's a great sense of camaraderie between the students, who have all been more than willing to help out my unskilled self during partner drills. The classes are definitely challenging while being incredibly enjoyable and satisfying. I've always hated traditional gyms and had to drag myself to go, and for the first time ever, as soon as I leave I can't wait to come back! I'd recommend CMMA to anyone looking for practical self defense skills, a new physical activity, or even just an awesome community to be part of. I'm so happy I found this place!

They have a lot of knowledge, and you can share a dialogue about different moves and questions you have. I feel safer walking around the streets of Chicago knowing that I can defend myself. Plus, the owner Jeff usually has some good stories if you show up to class early.

Let me begin by saying that while I love how you feel and look when you work out consistently, I…read morejust can't muster up the motivation to make myself do it! I dislike running, and I push myself harder when working out with a group. Clark and I wanted to take some type of a workout class together...him acting as my new motivation to get in shape. When it came down to decision time, we were between yoga and Krav. We decided to check out Krav since both of us knew what yoga was, and the rest is history. I NEVER feel obligated to come to class - I always want to go! (This is NOT normal for me!!!) We began attending Krav Academy around mid-March and have thoroughly enjoyed it every step of the way. Not only am I getting a great work out in, but I am learning how to get out of a dangerous situation quickly and safely. My funds are limited, but I can certainly justify this work out as it is not merely to "get in shape." The Academy is hosted by FFC Old Town, which is a fine enough facility itself. What I really appreciate is that the Academy is SEPARATE from FFC, so I do not pay for an additional membership at the gym (great news for people on budgets!!). There is a $100 equipment fee when you first sign up and the unlimited monthly package is $130. I believe there is an option for a 2 classes per week membership, but I certainly recommend going w the monthly. As for the instructors: all are seriously great. Ivo and Erin in particular do an exceptional job at demonstrating, explaining, and teaching different moves and defenses. It is obvious that Ivo has been doing this for a very long time and is very passionate about it. While many can be considered a "professional" in something, not all can teach. Ivo makes things so easy to learn and keeps it fun! He pushes you, teaches you, and jokes with you. I've quite literally never met a teacher or coach that has been able to teach me something new as Ivo has taught me Krav Maga. As a previous reviewer wrote: the instructors here are incredibly helpful. They want to teach you and take on a genuine interest in your improvement. I typically need a lot of help going through drills and getting better at them, but I have not felt like I've been a burden to anyone teaching there. People in class are always friendly and it is easy to join and feel welcomed. It helps a lot that the other students in the class that have been there for a few months also help instruct you and help you improve. I seriously cannot write enough good things about Krav Academy. I have a ton of fun, I'm learning how to keep myself safe, and am getting in better shape than I have been in the last 7 years! Everyone involved is seriously great and I really look forward to continuing my involvement in Krav Maga here!

Best Gym in the area, period! I have trained at other gyms before, and I have been at Fit & Fight…read morefor almost a year now and trained with them in Muay Thai, MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. All 3 coaches are WORLD-CLASS (either former world champions or former professional fighters or trained with direct Gracie Jiu-jitsu disciple) and focus not just on technique but also on principles (understanding the overall strategy of each martial art) and physical fitness (hence the name fit & fight). Also, my son trains with them as well and I can tell you there is an amazing culture and camaraderie!! You feel part of a family, everyone is trying to help you, everyone is trying to get better and more fit and everyone is having fun doing it! Training is disciplined but people ask about each other and even carpool with each other! Also, it's a very enriching cultural & diversity experience, as there are about 20 nationalities represented and they regularly bring their food specialties etc. !! I have 2 recommendations for whoever is reading this review: don't look elsewhere, and don't procrastinate! They have 1 free trial class, come try it for yourself and/or your kids!

They are gifted at meeting each student at their level/adapting their teaching to each student's level and also to that student's learning style and needs. They are equally dedicated to newcomers as they are to those training for a fight. They are exceptional at what they do - they are professionals and fighters who hold themselves to an extremely high standard. They can be meticulous about technique, and readily share their expertise. They truly want their students to improve. Lastly, they are fun - the classes are fun, the coaches are fun. Even when they are putting us through the toughest drills, they find a way to make us laugh through the pain I could not recommend the place more.
