New Breed Training Center

"Now there are plenty of places to "learn" jiu jitsu and boxing, but only a couple of them are top notch. New Breed is one of the best hands down. Their instructors are great and hold everyone accountable while still coaching and teaching the right way. The kids classes are solid as can be my boys have been here for years so this is a long overdue review, but they absolutely love coming here and training even on hard days when they get pushed past their comfort zone. Highly recommend to anyone new or experienced!"

"Great place for training. Great leaders and great training partners. I would recommend it for anyone looking to up their BJJ game and get in the best shape of their life!"

"I moved to Chicago a couple of years ago and took my time testing out a few BJJ schools in the area. After stepping into Newbreed Training Center, I knew I had found the best. The environment here is unmatched—strong, supportive, and filled with camaraderie. The coaching staff is outstanding, with deep knowledge and a clear passion for teaching. Mark, the head coach, is an active competitor who brings a wealth of real-world experience to every class. His dedication and expertise elevate the training to a whole new level. The team here is incredible—motivated, welcoming, and always willing to help each other grow. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll feel right at home while continuously being pushed to improve. I couldn’t recommend Newbreed Training Center enough!"

"What an awesome space! I dropped in to an open mat, visiting from out of town. Coach Sam was super welcoming, as were all the people I got to roll with. You can tell by the vibe in here that it is an awesome school ran by awesome people. Everyine was super friendly, and I loved seeing people's kids running around and also training. Can't wait to visit again, and if I ever move back to Chicago, I'm definitely signing up here."
