Best MMA gym in Chicago area?
I recently saw another thread about the best gyms in the CA area, and figured I'd give it a try. I know this probably isn't the best forum for it, but it gets the most hits- so I wanted to try. I have a few years of informal BJJ (Army trained) and have boxed for quite a while, and want to put it all together. Any suggestions where I should go in the Chicago area?

Yeah, I know they both train out of Chicago (so does Shonie Carter and a few others), but I was looking for sugesstions. You know, like which schools have the best ground game, standup, etc. |

As someone said in this thread AA for boxing goes to JABB. POW does more than Kickboxing though, they have BJJ (not sure how good it is?), krav maga, and a few other styles (they have a website). Stephan rolls at the Carlson Gracie Academy in the Fitness Formula Clubs Club on LaSalle street in the Gold Coast - not sure where he boxes though. I texted my buddy who rolls in the western side of the city (close to the west burbs I think) to find out his gym for you.
I roll at Gracie. |

Curran Martial Arts. There are Gracie Barra schools around there. Just do a search on Carlson JR. I think he teaches there. My instructor is supposed to meet Carlson in Chicago next month to become officially certified. He'll be the only Gracie Barra instructor in Michigan.
