This is a phenomenal gym run by a world class Bjj practitioner/teacher. Clean, high quality equipment and instruction for all levels - definitely check it out.

I started going to Movimento back in June 2017 when I found a Groupon for kickboxing, something I had always wanted to try. The kickboxing classes were amazing, and I was hooked after my first class. Herc, the kickboxing instructor was very patient with me as a beginner, and also a great motivator; I had never pushed myself as hard as I did in kickboxing class. After a few months, I began to have an interest in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes that began just as the kickboxing class ended. I had never imagined it would be something I would be interested in, but as someone who was very interested in self-defense, it seemed like something I should definitely try. After months of kickboxing, I finally decided to give BJJ a try in November 2017. As I mentioned before, BJJ was not something I ever imagined I would find myself doing, but I truly fell in love with it after my first few classes. Isreal, the BJJ professor and owner, was extremely patient with me and the other beginners and immediately made me feel welcome, along with the rest of the team. BJJ was the most amazingly unexpected thing to come into my life, and I look forward to many more years of learning and training!

I have been training with Professor Israel Reyes and Movimento BJJ since 2013. Before that, I had trained at various gyms in different martial arts. This academy has a family vibe to go along with exceptional training and instruction. I highly recommend that you stop in to see what Movimento BJJ is all about if you're interested in getting a great workout in while learning self-defense!

This local hidden gem is amazing. The owner and trainer, Israel (Iszy) is probably one of the hardest working instructors in the industry, yet he's the nicest and most humble guy ever. For anyone looking to either get in shape, stay in shape or simply try something new - this is the place to be. The entire team is very welcoming from the very first time stepping into the gym. Jiu Jistu had helped me learn so much about myself, pushing my limitations and overcoming fears and owe it all to Iszy and the amazing teammates at Movimento.

Amazing techniques, great workouts, solid training partners, and one of the best instructors around. Went there under a highly reviewed recommendation from a friend, and I have to concur.

Came in through a Groupon, and was hooked. I tried out the Brazilian Jujitsu classes first, but rolling around on the ground doing a contact sport wasn't quite my thing, so I tried the Muay Thai kickboxing. Five months later, I'm pretty much hooked. Izao and Herc are both great instructors, and really patient and encouraging.
The kickboxing classes are five days a week, Sunday-Thursday, 5:30-6:30 PM on the weekdays and 9:15-10:15 AM on Sunday.

The best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Muy Thai kickboxing gym in Chicago. Very friendly, great trainers (Izzy and Herc) and an awesome atmosphere. You will have to work hard! I have been going there for 2.5 years and I hope to keep going for a long time to come.
