The teachers and staff are welcoming while also firm, experienced, and superbly knowledgeable. They know children and treat them with care and respect that makes you instantly care and respect them in return. We have tried other forms of self-defense; Krav is the only one where we have actually seen real-life circumstances and situations addressed in concrete, actionable ways from day one. It's hard, it can be intense, and it demands focus - just what we wanted for our children. I cannot more highly recommend KMI, not just for the activity itself, but for the community in which its taught (arguably more important than any other feature).

I travel a lot and have had the opportunity to train in a lot of gyms. This is by far one of the…read morebest I've ever been to in the US. Everyone in the academy is all smiles all the time and it feels like a big family. It's one of the most rookie-friendly places I've been and also has an incredible talent pool in the students and coaches. Lots of freedom and encouragement to ask any question you want and it's easy to find a partner that either wants to go easy or is willing to ramp up the pace. Prof Marcello is a world class professor and kind of a legend. He was a multiple time Brazilian National Champion before moving to the states, and of all places, ended up teaching in Deerfield, IL. The depth of knowledge he has when asking about details of positions is insane and is a gentle reminder of how little I actually know. So cool to have been able to spend time in this academy.

BTT Schaumburg is nothing short of amazing…read more Coach Junior is the perfect instructor. He cares about individual success -- whatever it may be. If you want to train for lifestyle. If you want to train for self defense. If you want to train for sport, he works with you to get you to your destination. I gain more confidence not just in Jiu Jitsu everyday that I train under him, but outside of the gym as well. He pushes you to be the best that you can be, and the best that you want yourself to be. His kids classes have been truly great. My two boys (and eventually my little girl) have loved his classes from the start. He provides clear direction, and keeps them engaged and makes the classes enjoyable but with skill-based technique games as well. The approach that Coach Junior and the rest of the coaches (Coach Dylan, Coach Michael, Coach Mac) take with the kids makes them feel like family. The kids used to be timid about 'sparring,' but now all of the kids can't wait to jump in and test out their technique in a safe and fun environment. All I see are smiles.

He's extremely patient and thorough with his direction. His classes are very well thought out and intentional- they offer time to learn techniques, time to drill with partners, and time to practice and apply new skills! The facility is top notch- it's a very clean and spacious gym with high quality mats. All of the students are very welcoming and willing to teach & learn alongside you! I highly recommend checking out BTT in Schaumburg at any level!
