What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Brian Giles

"Dropped in to visit as my son trains here while attending Illinois State University. I’ve been in BJJ for 11 years and am a purple belt. I know a great school when I experience one, as I’ve been training in martial arts for 40 years. Professor Ed runs a very detailed curriculum with excellent instruction to boot. If you wanna learn BJJ, this is the place to do it. My son’s skill level in the last 8-9 months has improved greatly. All of the students are genuinely concerned with making each other better, and the culture of the school is extremely friendly and inviting. I’d send anyone there to train, and I did my homework before sending my son there. Check them out…you’ll be glad you did!"

Jack Clauson

"Extremely clean gym with more training times/opportunity than anywhere I've been before. Great instructors and training partners at all levels from beginners to someone who already has grappling experience. There is no favoritism in this gym and your "frequency" of coming to classes is the only thing in your way to becoming an amazing grappler and BJJ athlete. Cannot recommend enough to beginners or to someone with a ton of experience already."

Bonnie Garrett

"Our son has been training at Frequency for over two years and it has been a wonderful experience for him. He has grown not only in physical skill, but also in character, confidence and public speaking ability. I love to see him be challenged by working with more experienced teammates, and also how he is able to help those who are newer. The instructors are excellent and the facility is always clean."

Preston Richardson

"An amazing school! They pride themselves in keeping a clean safe school to learn and grow. They offer so many classes throughout the week it will fit anyones schedule and you get to train as much as you want. I have been training jui jitsu for about 2.5 years and have been at frequency for about 7 months. The atmosphere has been very welcoming and like a second home to me. I train almost everyday and sometimes multiple times a day. Jui Jitsu has given me something to keep me motivated when work and home life has been stressful. I couldn’t recommend frequency and jui jitsu in general enough."
