    Oscar is an amazing Boxing and Muay Thai boxing coach…read more I have dabbled in martial arts since I was a child and trained at several boxing, MMA, BJJ, and Thai Boxing gyms all over the city. Chicago is definitely blessed with excellent martial arts and combat sports instruction, and Oscar Bravo definitely belongs in that category. His current location is convenient off the CTA Red Line, buses, Loop, I-94, and Lake Shore Dr. His gym is upstairs from Phenomenal Fitness, which we get access to if its not too busy as a perk. Oscar's gym has the amenities that other gyms might lack, but not in an ostentatious way. Clean locker rooms, more than one shower, towels, soap, shampoo, decent bathrooms. He provides wraps, shin guards, mitts, focus pads, thai pads, whatever we need to train, plus a nice selection of Thai bags and boxing bags. There is also a treadmill. Another plus is that there are NO contracts. Just a straight fee that includes a T-Shirt, no cancellation policies, just easy Quick Pay and easy rate change if you want to train more. Its very transparent. Also we can make up classes on another week if we miss out, so we aren't wasting $. Very appreciative of that. Now on to the man himself. I've only known Oscar for a short time, but he has a great reputation as a fighter, martial artist and coach that goes way back in the community. He has a great eye for improving technique, pushing you to excel and do your best without crushing you or making you feel inadequate. There is definitely empowerment within his teaching, and he also shares his experiences with other martial arts and not limiting to what is being taught within the base art. I think this well-rounded approach is extremely beneficial as people come from all different types of backgrounds. He tries to get to know you when you first come in and evaluate where we are. There has definitely been a great progression with our Muay Thai class since i joined a few months ago, everyone is improving in fitness and technical application. Its encouraging to see the team environment develop organically without Oscar emphasizing it. Right now the class is small so we all get great individual feedback. Oscar is also great at reminding us about recovery, stretching properly, and taking care of our bodies without sounding too preachy. Strongly recommend you check out a class, for fitness, training for your first fight, or self-defense. Whether you are new or a veteran, you can learn something.

    I don't usually write reviews but I really think this gym deserves one. I just moved to Chicago and…read moreI have been training muay thai/thai boxing for a while (having had several different coaches) so I was looking to continue developing myself and looked at several different Gyms in the downtown area, but all of them were either really commercial or way too expensive. By accident I found out about this gym and it was the absolute best choice. Oscar is very experienced as a coach (not one of those young fitness dudes at the gyms who tries to teach you about boxing, without having any experience). Having been to a lot of gyms before I can assure you he is a top level coach. He can really help you improve your technique and physique regardless if you are a novice or you are looking to fight on Pro level. Every student get his full attention and it is a worthwhile investment if you want to become a better boxer/kickboxer or just get in really good shape.

    We looooovvvveeee this Taekwondo academy! My son has been going here for a little over one year…read morenow. Master Kim and Master Yuk are great with the kids. There are people of all different levels and they truly care about teaching the right techniques. A lot of Tae Kwon Do places might try to push for more belt tests to make money, but I know that they really try to prepare the students to excel and move up on belt levels only as necessary. My son loves going and he looks forward to his lessons. I highly recommend checking it out if you're not sure. I think they have some introductory lessons at a discounted price. Talk to the owner, master Kim, who has trained with the best in Korea and here in the states too!

    This is a taekwondo school (located in Northbrook with light traffic most of time) I don't feel…read morehesitant to recommend to others :). Firstly the Korean master, who received years of strict training in Korea, takes his class seriously and right technique and spirit of Taekwondo is always his aim. It's also not a crowded Dojang with reasonable numbers of kids in each class (typically about 5 kids). So each kid can get enough attention. One thing that Master Kim earned credit for himself among the parents is that he never intends to commercialize his class. Instead his belief is "It's the quality that makes difference", and he never mind teaching a little more and a little longer. Before my daughter joined this school I did some research about other taekwondo schools in Lincolnshire, Northbrook and Deerfield. I am happy that I made right choice!
