Welcome to Movimento BJJ - the best martial arts experience in Chicago! From weight loss goals to competetive ambitions, let us help you shatter your limits!
My son is 11 years old and has been attending Movimento gym for 2 going on 3 years now. From the start we were welcomed and treated like family. My son has became stronger mentally and physically. He has learned and grown so much that it is beyond words to explain. The gym owner (Israel) is an amazing Professor and has hired amazing coaches (Jacky and Matt) to train the kid classes . We are 2 years in and are not planning on going anywhere. Once my son ages out of the kid classes he will move on to the adult classes and kick boxing will also be an option for him. I have already added my nephew who is 9 years old to the kid classes and my niece who is 13 years old to the adult classes and they love it. I could not have been happier for them to join the Movimento family!!
Posted 4 years agoI tried a few classes at Movimento. Israel (Izzy) was very kind and welcoming. He's a good instructor and a great guy. The conditioning was a bit challenging for me due to health complications. I can recommend Movimento for anyone who wants to be competitive at jiu-jitsu.
Posted 2 years agoMovimento BJJ is a really fantastic school that offers some of the best BJJ training you can find in Chicago. Israel Reyes is a phenomenal jiu-jitsu competitor and an even better instructor: one of those people with a real gift for coaching, who can consistently get you to push yourself beyond what you thought were your limits. Thanks to this training, I have gone from borderline-overweight and struggling seriously with exercise-induced asthma, to being in the best shape I have ever experienced and even winning tournaments while hardly touching my inhaler. Seriously--awesome--workouts! Classes are designed to be tough for everyone, so that no matter where you are fitness-wise, you are always being pushed to the next level. Expect hard cardio, lots of drills, and sparring to end every class. Everyone is welcome, so come try out a class for free!
Posted 6 years agoThe 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.
Posted 8 years agoThe best BJJ school in Chicago. Israel is a World Champion. He is an amazing instructor and a role model for everyone. Everyone in the adult class is friendly and considerate. Movimento does not have any egos. Everyone in class looks out for each other and it really feels like family. I consider Movimento my second home and I consider Israel Reyes a mentor! I am forever grateful for Movimento and Israel. You are missing out if you do not train at Movimento BJJ!
