From the reviews
As a newcomer to jiu-jitsu, I was a bit apprehensive about starting, but HGA has made the experience truly welcoming and enjoyable. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, taking the time to explain techniques clearly and ensuring everyone feels comfortable, regardless of skill level.
Top notch facility, one of the best in the Chicago area. I've trained under dozens of instructors and Andy by far is the most knowledgeable I've come across regarding BJJ and Judo. Clean facility with a great group of students. The schedule is favorable for those with a full time career and family obligations.
Andy is an outstanding instructor. The facility is clean and updated. The mats are excellent quality and the training partners are great.
Excellent instruction, new clean training facility, fun safe learning environment and the 5am classes can't be missed.
Your first BJJ class at Huntley Grappling Academy
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.
