Hands-down the best club in Yorkville for jiu-jitsu, MMA and so much more! My husband has had incredible success through Coach Chris' dedication, patience, and kindness. AXT is heavily involved with many local events and has a strong focus on community. Classes for kids and classes for women help solidify that jiu-jitsu is a sport for anyone - I love that it's not the stereotypical "boys club", everyone is so welcoming and friendly.
Wonderful school in Yorkville. Teaches jiu jitsu and MMA for the streets. A great place to exercise and a very chill environment. Beginners and experienced practioners are welcome. Has kids classes and adult. Open every day but Fridays.
This club is my home! Jiujitsu has changed my life in a way that will forever be held by AXT. Coach Chris, coach Kyle, and the rest are amazing teachers, and are always eager to not only teach, but listen to their students, and potential students. My children (ages 10, 7, and 6) are always excited about class and constantly beg me to take them to more classes. If you’re thinking about joining, DO IT!
This place is amazing! My daughter and I both train here. Such a positive atmosphere and great people, encouraging and challenging each other in such a great way! Come check it out! Coach Chris is doing great work here
I can’t say enough good things about AXT jujitsu! My son has gained knowledge and confidence through the teachings and techniques. Coach Chris and all the other coaches and students are so dedicated, supportive, encouraging and really care for each student to learn and apply the techniques they learn to real life situations. I would highly recommend everyone to check them out and try a class. They have classes from 6yrs old to adult. Men’s, women’s and mma for the street classes along with other options.
This gym is in a wonderful location, it’s clean, organized and well decorated. Walking in, it give spa vibes. Behind the visual is an amazing group of students who are lead by exceptional instructors. I came as a traveler, looking for a place to roll while I was in town. I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel as if I was a member of the gym and appreciated for attending their class. If you’re looking to join a gym let this be it. The culture of a gym is the most important aspect. Even if there is top ranked instruction, the culture would run people away. The culture here is top tier. Everyone was willing to embrace me and even help and teach me and even take instruction from me. The instructors want you to learn and have the heart of teachers. Knowledgeable and teaches this in a practical sense. I can’t wait to return to this place in the future and see the growth of the gym as a whole and those I rolled with while there. I hope you guys much success moving forward.
“Masters are made, not born.” It takes time, dedication and hard work to become one. If you share this value, then you are at the right spot here. My daughter (now 7) has been going to AXT Jiu-Jitsu for almost two years. She enjoys it a lot. There was a time where she also had her moment of doubt and frustration because she was “endlessly” waiting for her next stripe to embellish her belt. But this phase taught her to be patient and to continue doing her best. A real school of life to set her up for success!
We just love AXT Jiu Jitsu. Coach Chris has high, but achievable, expectations of the kids. He will push them to be disciplined and well trained and they excel because of it. The coaches are all kind and truly interested in the success of their students. My son has grown so much as a person, in part because of his experience with the AXT family.
I have been a member here now for a couple months and can honestly say this gym has become a new happy place for me. No ego, no nonsense. It’s all respect and smiling faces. Coach Chris, coach Tim, and several higher belts are all so helpful and willing to share. As a walk in with zero martial arts experience. It was awesome to see a wide spectrum of beginners and higher belts. I love all the Jiu Jitsu classes as well the MMA for the streets class. Both are so practical and fun. Not to mention awesome workouts. I encourage anyone and everyone interested to give this gym a shot. It’s been one of the best things I’ve done and been a part of in a long time. See you on the mats!
My kids and I have been a part of this club for about three years, and I can’t say enough good things about the coaches and the members. My only regret is that I didn’t find it sooner.
Very fun the instruction is very easy and the coaches all do a great job at teaching and the people there are also very nice mats are always clean can’t wait to come back
Awesome club! The coaches are great! Oldest daughters started 5 years ago and youngest daughter started 6 months ago. They love it as much as they did on their first day. Their teammates are some of their best friends.
Started back in February 2022. Was looking for a place to get in better shape and learn a new skill. AXT has been nothing but welcoming and really enjoy working with everyone there. Coach Chris is super awesome to work with and really made it easy to jump into the sport with zero experience. Definitely recommend checking out a class.
AXT has been a fantastic place for myself and two boys to learn self-defense through Jui-jitsu. Coach Chris is very knowledgeable and friendly. The club is welcoming and made up people from all walks of life. I attend the Women's and 101 basics classes and those have been super helpful! I got a later start than most, 39, but I absolutely love it! I highly recommend trying a free class!
Great place to learn. As someone who walked in with no prior experience in jui jitsu I was pleased to find what a great club this is. The coaching staff and members make this an environment that is easy to learn from at all levels. I have never found anyone driven by ego or bravado. The members at this club are all there for the same reason, and that is to personally be better than you were the day before, and they accomplish this in a team environment.
Coach Chris and all of the the other coaches are amazing. Everyone will work with you until you understand how to properly execute moves. It's a place you go to learn and grow with friends. Everyone is there for each other.
I love this place. Come for an into class and find out what you’ve been missing. Jujitsu will benefit both your physical and mental health. Whether you’re a gym rat or someone that has been on the couch for years, you can work at your level. Men, women and kids all benefit! The culture of this particular club is incredibly welcoming and accepting. The owner is a great guy and has carefully crafted a positive atmosphere where all can benefit.
I've been with AXT for over a decade. Owner/Head Instructor Chris and the team really make it a fun and safe environment to train, no matter who you are. We are all family on the mat! The knowledge between all of the instructors really make this a great place to train and learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, JKD, and more. All perfect for self defense, fitness, and hitting the competition circuit! I can't say enough good about AXT!
AXT is a great place to train. The coaches are friendly and professional. The facility is kept very clean. Best of all, the community is fantastic, with people of all walks of life.
My boy and I signed up... everyone was very welcoming. The instructors were very helpful in making sure what they were teaching was well understood...and plenty of classes during the week/and Sat. to make sure you can get in. I highly recommend AXT Jiu-Jitsu!
Love AXT! My husband started at the club, I have done a private lesson and our son attends as well. The coaches are great with the kids, have great communication and the plans are so affordable. The club is always super clean and I have complete trust leaving my son for class each week. My two other kids can't wait to turn 6 and start their lessons!
It's became like a second home to me. No egos and everyone is helpful...from the coaches all the way down. The coaches are so skilled and well-versed in what they coach and then some. And you won't find a better value out there.
Great place , this is the real deal. Kids class is a positive place to help build self esteem and learn self defense.Adult class is great for a workout. The coaches are great .we have been at Atlas for 2 years. Love it!
