From the reviews

My son is an 11 year old high level competitor in jiujitsu . Last year he was ranked #1 in the world throughout the whole year , placing 1st at nationals and 2nd at Pan ams. We live in Chicago and we have been traveling 2 hours every Friday just to be able to train with professor Braulio .

★★★★★ — Daniel, Feb 2024

We absolutely love Corral’s Martial Arts! My son has been training in jiu-jitsu here for the past 3 years, and the progress he has made is amazing. He has learned so much—not just jiu-jitsu techniques, but also confidence, discipline, respect, and perseverance.

★★★★★ — Maria, Jan 2026

Best martial arts studio in the Chicagoland area. Kids program is top notch. Coaches provide great attention to all students. I would recommend them to kids or adults, who want to learn from the best. Both locations, portage and schererville are excellent.

★★★★★ — Mike, Feb 2025

My son started training at Corral's Martial Arts several years ago. I would highly recommend everything about CMA -- the highly trained instructors who are committed to their students, the clean facilities, the friendly (I would really say family) atmosphere.

Your first BJJ class at Corral's Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
