“My kids love learning at this dojo! Sensei Pedro is amazing with the kids and has great patience when teaching them.Highly recommend!“
“CFC is legendary. All of their trainers are incredible. The owner, Eddie Y., is a modern day folk hero. CFC is the absolute best.“
“I recently attended the three hour self-defence course as a team outing with our group of pediatric therapists who are out in the community often. This was an incredible team building opportunity! The team also learned numerous strategies to deescalate a situation and keep ourselves safe. Aileeen and Marti were a superb blend of serious, thoughtful and lighthearted. The time went by extremely quickly. I am thankful to have walked away with more tools in my pocket to be alert and safe. I think this will be an annual team outing. Highly recommended!“
“Have been a student for over 20 years. Chief instructor is an excellent role model for the youths that attend.“
“Love this place! Could not be happier. My daughter loves it. The staff is AMAZING!!! I love the way they teach the students. Such a positive outcome from attending my daughter here. She looks forward to learning. GREAT OWNER! HIGHLY recommend this place! Thank you to all who work here!“
“Dino is amazing! Highly recommend if you are looking to try a different approach to personal training and small group fitness classes!!“
“My son has been a part of this dojo since 2020. He is now 10 and the highest ranking Junior Dragon. He is also a junior instructor for the newer kids. I myself most recently joined earlier this year. Grandmaster Starks and his amazing wife Julia have created a remarkable environment for adults and children to be challenged , become stronger mentally and physically and be a part of a growing family and legacy. Grandmaster Starks was most recently featured on the front cover of Deadly Art Of Survival (15th Edition) where his story can be read. I encourage anyone in the Chicagoland area to come visit their dojo, you will not be disappointed.“
“My daughter has been going here for over 3 years. She loves her class and her instructor. Master So is great with her.“
“At the moment I like the way that teacher Pedro Cardenas teaches, it seems that he is a psychologically and physically prepared person, he has a lot of respect for his students, now the lady who is in charge of collecting and I don't know what else lacks a lot of knowledge so re education of human relations, she does not have a professional way of telling you things, they do not explain anything to you and all the time she is the one who is right, it is good that she is not a teacher otherwise she would have already taken my daughter out of here.“
“I have trained at this school for over 10 years. Instruction is the best I have found. This school has students who compete and do very well. If competing isn't your thing that's fine. The majority of the students do not and has a great chemistry when you walk in the door. I think this is why Goytia's Martial Arts has been on Chicago's Southside for several decades and is reveered as one of the best schools for self defense and sport fighting. You must give them a try.“

“My daughters have been coming for a little over a year. My youngest is 3, and loves coming to class! The professors are amazing, patient and the kids love it! The atmosphere is very welcoming!“
“Honestly I recommend this place for anyone. My little guy is part of family since kindergarten , yes it’s part of family because you feel how others care for you here!!! The sensei Marek is very kind, genuine and shows how much jiu jitsu can positively impact a person if they simply decide to step on the mats. Try a class, you won't regret it and it just might change your life for the better.“

“Great beginning for all ages who are interested in Martial Arts! I can see my improvement in the last 5 months I've been going.“
“I never thought that I would gain such confidence in myself until I took Wingtsun. Sifu is a great instructor.“
“Wonderful people, beautiful space, and a great community. So welcoming to beginners. I have been training here for a few years now and I love it, it's a great workout and you learn so much about yourself in every class. Try it out!“
“Honestly m, Oscar Bravo is an amazing professional trainer, I used to train with him 17 years ago and was the most amazing training skills I got from him, highly recommended.“
“Family owned and operated. A great place to be a part of, they do amazing work with kids and really care. I don't have experience in the adult classes but they look rigorous. I highly recommend for children.“
“Can not recommend this place more for a birthday party. We had our six-year-old sons birthday party here today and it was absolutely fantastic. It was so easy and they took care of everything. All we had to do was bring a cake. They organized everything else! He got to chop a board in half and cut his cake with a samurai sword and all the kids just had an absolutely fantastic time.“
“I decided to go to this gym because it was right in the heart of Chicago. It’s never too crowded, and the owners/ trainers have a wealth of experience and stories to tell. It may not house the next lineal champion of the world (yet), but it’s the best place to learn a thing or two about boxing fundamentals and history. Support local businesses!“
“I am so glad I found mission mma to continue Muay Thai training - the environment is welcoming and there is a good balance of skill level amongst the students. There are no big egos here - everyone is willing to learn and the more experienced students are also very helpful. Coaches Said and MJ are wonderful and approachable teachers - I always have a great time in class and have learned so much from them in a very short time. There is also a great weight training area, which makes getting in a complete workout very convenient.“
“My sister studies at this school, it is a magnificent experience, highly recommended for people who want to learn this sport, the teacher is very kind and the students are very nice.“
“Fantastic atmosphere and quality instruction. Facility is clean and well maintained. Great experiences here!“
“Sensei Weiss is so nice, funny as hell, and a great instructor to our two daughters. We like the classes and our kids are learning about themselves and what they are capable of. Thank you Sensei!“
