It has been an absolute pleasure training at Living Art. I joined a few months ago as someone with…read moreno experience in BJJ and quickly found an awesome group of guys ran by a super knowledgeable and personable coach in Ramses. It's a mix of hobbyists and competitors who train at Living Art and I've had an awesome time rolling with both types of people. Everyone is helpful, welcoming, and interested in making a beneficial and productive environment. The coach is also super knowledgeable and accessible. He'll always give you his time to answer questions, work through positions, and roll. Pretty cool considering he's a competing black belt. All in all, really happy with the quality of the instruction and the people at Living Art. I plan on sticking around for a long time.

I've been going here for Muay Thai lessons for over 2 months now, and I love it! Rey and Sonny are…read moreexcellent teachers who deliver a strong emphasis on the basics and know how to slowly break-in the beginners. Their assistants Debbie and Nicholas are also great and will constantly push you and give sound advice. There is a friendly family atmosphere for the most part, but these guys know when to get serious, command respect from all students, and push the physical limits of the class. Like Kristen B. noted, the first class is free for any martial art you want to try out, and you can try them all. For newbies, there's a pretty mixed crowd in the beginner and intermediate Muay Thai classes. I'd say about 35-40% of the class is female, and the age spread is very wide from age 10 to people in their 40s. Many of the advanced and intermediate level students go to the beginner classes to brush up on their basics, and it gives the new students some experienced partners to help them progress. Most of all, EVERYONE is just really chill. If there's anything that might need improvement, the gym itself could use a water fountain and an interior refresh here and there. At least they sell cold beverages and bottled water for relatively cheap. Other than that, it's a pretty good size gym with a full-size ring, weight-training area, a big class mat area, and a heavybag area. You can also order your equipment through them. Test yourself and feed that inner beast. It's great fun and being with good people makes it even more worthwhile!

Day one this team aims to teach especially the higher belts. Normally you'll go to some schools, and seeing a new person is like a shark getting a whiff of blood in the water. However, Gracie Barra New Lenox is absolutely nothing like that. Gracie Barra is a notarized school already, but this specific location carries the principles and values in an exemplary way. Within the first few months, shoot, even the week you'll start feeling like you've rejoined a long lost family you didn't even know was out there.
