Fantastic gym everyone here is kind and eager to help eachother learn, a great community. Amazing black belt instructors, clean mats, warm and friendly environment. They also have kids classes. If you are in the area this is the place to train. Don’t forget the outside weights area included with sauna and shower!
Top notch instructors, owners, and members. A very welcoming group of dedicated martial artists, with lots of options and a great kids program too. 10/10 all day
Lions Den has a cadre of great instructors teaching real Jiu Jitsu. They have a clean and large mat space. I appreciate all the good vibes and knowledge shared. I will def be back for more striking and Jiu Jitsu.
They have great instructors and a technical curriculum. The instructors know how to convey the concepts to their student in a fun way. Everyone there is welcoming and kind. I highly recommend Lions Den to anyone who’s looking to start or continue their BJJ journey.
One of the best BJJ academies I’ve ever been to!! The instructors are knowledgeable and approachable, the gym atmosphere is super welcoming and really clean. Very nice amenities as well I love the sauna and shower after training, lots of parking space as well. 6 stars if I could.
Love this place! Instructor are so experienced expecially Fabian and MO! Great Instructors but even better guys. Classes are run so smoothly, driven by motivation, discipline and efficiency. Love seeing everyone put in full effort and walking out drenched in swet. The moral is always so high. If you're looking for a good place to train that is close by, I recommend lions den!
I love this place! Been training at Lions Den for about 6 months now. My jiu jitsu game has gotten way better and the atmosphere is great.
Definitely recommend Lions Den!
As a dad of numerous young kids, and martial artist myself, I can’t say enough good about this program. These guys are incredibly talented martial artists. They are great with the kids. They teach all the techniques and nuances of this martial art, but they make it fun too. They are reasonably priced. They work with your schedule if you do privates. I couldn’t be happier with what my kids are learning and they love to go. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Everything that I’m looking for in a BJJ gym. Beginner friendly, reliable and knowledgeable coaches, friendly members and staff and most importantly clean. Showers and sauna and gym are a nice plus
Good vibes, welcoming staff, & high quality Jiujitsu taught by multiple experienced instructors ranging from purple to black belt in an extremely Clean training area. You will only get better and tougher training with these guys. In addition to that there’s a separate full fledged gym outside of the BJJ training space with tons of weight & cardio equipment as well as a sauna which all does wonders for my recovery & conditioning. Whether you’re a hobbyist, or a serious Brazilian Jiujitsu athlete this is a great place to hone your craft.
I have been to an abundant amount of gyms around the Chicago south suburbs . This gym (lions den) is the cleanest and most professional one the whole state of Illinois .they have high-level jitz , and a clean facility which is organized as well. Very respectful and professional ( Along side high level) staff and management . Overall I believe this gym has achieved every expectation in what a MMA gym should be and has a very bright future ahead.
While I don’t have experience with other dojos I can say for certain that I’m so very grateful that this was my first dojo. It’s truly a welcoming community, and they’ve helped me take back some fire and pride in my life. I genuinely appreciate the effort, humor, and friendliness of the instructors here. And I cannot express how truly grateful I am for the friends and connections I’ve made here. 6/5 stars if it was possible :)
All the instructors are very knowledgeable and patient. i get better after every lesson everyone in the room is tough but still helpful. it’s a great learning environment
Great place to train! Friendly & welcoming environment, very skilled and well rounded instructors & 24 hour access to weight room is a bonus. They offer Gi, No Gi and striking, as well as kids classes. There is literally something for everyone!
Funny welcoming environment. Being female and training in a male dominated sport it can be intimidating. All the instructors are extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. It is a tough workout but totally worth it to feel so empowered. Super excited to be apart of this dojo.
I can't say enough good things about Lion's Den Jiu Jitsu. All of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and battle tested. Go try a class and see for yourself!!!
