From the reviews
When I started training BJJ I looked at a lot of schools in the Chicagoland area and attended trial classes at several that were well-reviewed and seemed reputable. Even though it is a long drive for me (40-60 mins), this is the school that impressed me most and has continued to impress over the last 1.5 years.
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.
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.
This Jiu Jitsu school exceeded all my expectations. The instructors are not only skilled practitioners but also exceptional teachers, breaking down complex techniques into understandable steps. I've seen significant improvements in my technique since joining.
Your first muay thai class at New Breed Training Center
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
