From the reviews

By far the best MMA gym in the state of Illinois. Good reason why both Roufusport and JacksonWink themselves recommended this place to me, not to mention their high output of UFC champions.

The gym overall is legit, from the head coach & staff to the fighters, everyone is welcoming and supportive. I work privately with Jose Ferreira, and I’ve been to several gyms and trained with many different coaches.

★★★★★ — Dan, Oct 2025

Coach Mike is top of the top. He knows exactly how to pass on his knowledge in a clear and effective way. Very professional great attitude, and real experience you can feel on the mat. High level training great atmosphere, and serious results. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to truly learn and improve.

Your first muay thai class at Valle Flow Striking (VFS) Academy: MMA, Kickboxing & Fitness

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
