Reuben Martinez

"Was in town on business and visited GB Libertyville to train. I was blown away. This is an amazing training facility. Besides it being clean, the location has showers, lockers, a changing room for males and females, a weight room, and two rooms with mats. The main training room has spring floors. Pretty cool. The team is professional, warm, and very welcoming. Great experience. Highly recommend. 👍👍"

Dina Miller

"Amazing place! The staff is incredibly friendly, especially the two ladies at the front desk—Coach Marleen and Coach Edyta, who are both exceptionally knowledgeable. Coach Scott is fantastic with the kids, and the entire coaching team is top-notch! It’s a great environment to learn self-defense for both kids and adults. The facility is clean, spacious, and even has a weight room. Come be a part of this wonderful jiu-jitsu community!"
