mma in chicago

Underground
1

I just moved to Chicago. Live on the northwest side of town on Addison and Harlem.

Looking for good places to train MMA, muay thai, boxing, BJJ, submission wrestling, etc.

I know there are lots of good schools in Chicago, but don't know who offers what, and where they are located.

I wouldn't mind being able to dabble in stick and knife(Filipino style) once in a while. But MMA is my main focus.

I heard about the LInxx school in McHenry Co. and SBG in Elgin. I like what those schools have to offer, but I'm looking for something closer to my house.

NEED HELP!

Team Oyama's new Midwest Training Center is opening in OCT in the Northwest Suburbs. Streamwood, to be exact. But if Elgin or Mchenry is to far then streamwood is only 10 min closer. about 45 min from downtown. a great Muay Thai and Jiu jitsu program and MMA training. We'll be anouncing a grand opening soon, and more info will be available at www.teamoyama.tv in a week or so.

Adem - first it got postponed then it got changed to a
Shido fight - kicking, knees and body punching when standing but grappling only on the ground.

Then the fight card got scratched all together.
C'est la vie!

As far as the stick fighting and knife work, Gotta go with Dion Riccardo. He's certified under Paul Vunak JKD! Good submission grappling as well. Not too far it's in Oak park, Madiosn ave right off of Harlem. Victroy Martial arts
