John Santos
"I've been training all over Lake County IL and ACES Training Center has a great black belt coach, staff, and awesome training partners during the day and night sessions. Very beginner friendly for the young and young at heart."
Dan “Joker” Merino
"Started almost a year ago. Amazing group of people, teammates and a wise and great coach. Everyone is so supportive of eachothers training. It takes time to get used to the pace but once you’re in it you’ll get used to it. Everyday there’s training in the mornings and evenings. Better than just going to the gym."
Javier P
"I’ve been training at ACES Training Center since May 2023. I came in for my trial class and was instantly hooked. It has been 7 months now and I look forward to coming into class every time. It is a great workout with a great group of people! Coach Lou is an excellent instructor. He is patient and helps his students understand the various techniques so that they can become better at jiu jitsu. Coach Lou promotes a hard working, yet safe, training environment. If you’re looking for a clean, no ego driven training center, definitely check out ACES!"
Natasha Bryant
"I always leave the gym with a smile on my face after the class, and that speaks volumes about the experience. The environment there is simply fantastic. Although I'm new to learning Jujitsu, every time I attend a class, I feel welcomed and encouraged. Coach Lou and everyone else are amazing, and they pay close attention to the details to ensure effective learning. Additionally, it's an excellent workout and a lot of fun!"
