What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Michael Odiotti
"While visiting family in the St. Charles area, I was looking for a place to train and came across Misfits BJJ. There are a handful of gyms in the area, but I chose Misfits based on strong reviews—and they were absolutely on point. The training partners were incredibly welcoming, the professor was knowledgeable and attentive, and the facility itself was top tier. The bathrooms and shower area stood out as some of the nicest I’ve seen at any gym. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in St. Charles, but if you’re in the area and looking to train, I highly recommend checking out Misfits BJJ."
Tim Rairdon
"Brad and Misfits Jiu Jitsu is a godsend to the Fox River Valley. I always wanted to train but felt so turned off by the culture of the so called schools / academies I visited. I’d quickly get beat up and knew I’d be injured. So I stayed away. When I rolled into Misfits, I immediately felt the right balance of excitement, challenge, safety, and community. Brad is a consummate teacher, athlete, and leader who emphasizes safety, technique, and having fun. He sincerely cares about his students and is doing a real service for the health of the community. Couldn’t recommend Misfits more."
Alyssa Burnidge
"Brad is just a great person! Very welcoming and approachable. Everyone in the gym seems to follow his lead as well. I highly recommend Misfits to learn jiu jitsu!"
Samuel Bavido
"I happened to be in the area, and stopped in for a Sunday open mat and a Wednesday class. Facilities are clean and in good repair. Brad, the instructor, places a heavy emphasis on training with safety in mind. People were chill and rolled without bravado. I had a great time, and plan to drop in again if im in the area."
