Amazing. Truly the best decision for our daughter. Each instructor is so patient, so kind and so understanding. You can see is on every kids face that they are enjoying the class. They are all having fun also learning valuable skills.

Amazing staff, beautiful facility, top notch curriculum, and good friends here.

Team Curran is patient and professional, while keeping solid structure instructing our children. Every instructor is friendly and delightful and it shows with the smiles on all the kids faces. The facility is clean and crisp, an inspirational environment to learn Jiu-Jitsu!

Great instructors, awesome, authentic, Brazilian jiu-jitsu!

Definitely not a pay to play belt-factory like so many Martial arts places. This isnt just a sport or art its learning self defense from guys whove fought in the ring and know how to fight. Highly recommend.

Great coaches and facility! They care about the kids and provide a positive training environment. Weve been with Curran for over over 1 1/2 years and my son still looks forward to every class.

Top notch place. Great instruction. Fun, safe, well-structured and challenging classes. Team Curran helped me say goodbye to 30 lbs in three months.Because of my schedule I dont typically attend Jeffs classes; he still knows me by name and will always take time to ask how classes are going. For me, that goes a long way and shows how interested he is in everyone coming through the doors. Chuck and Corey do a great job teaching classes -- depending on when you go, classes can be larger or smaller. Being a little older beginner student didnt matter a bit. There are people of all ages here, and I felt very welcomed from the first time I walked through the door.

It probably comes as no surprise that entering the world of MMA training can seem a bit intimidating for those who are brand new to the martial arts, as I was when I first decided to give it a go. However, from the moment I walked through the doors of Team Curran MMA, I knew I was in the right place. Not only was I sincerely and warmly welcomed by the instructors and staff, but right away I could sense the deep spirit of camaraderie in the air. I knew unequivocally that it was something I wanted to be part of.Ive been a proud member of Team Curran MMA for roughly four months now. And in that short time Ive met scores of great people (both staff and fellow students); Ive progressed from knowing absolutely nothing about the martial arts to having it become a vital part of my life; and Ive gone from thinking I was in pretty good shape to learning what getting in shape really means (as well as already losing almost 15 lbs.).In a very short time, I started to feel that which all my fellow students seemed to have already realized: that Team Curran becomes the place you simply cant wait to get to each day. And Im confident that anyone considering joining the team will quickly feel the same.

Nice, modern facility that is extremely clean. I have attended Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seminars here and will return again!

As a single father raising 3 boys I have had many struggles, my youngest asked to join martial arts and we found Curran. My youngest child was insecure, frightened, and shy. He has learned confidence, as well as the fortitude to stand up and respectfully attain what he desires. He has grown in his 2 years at Curran through the quality examples set by the staff and Jeff Curran. He shows integrity and compassion in every aspect of his life. I am proud of him and I owe the staff my gratitude for their patience, understanding, and diligent vested interest in improving the mindset of their students.

Many thanks to Jeff Curran for helping me with my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. My guard and offense have significantly improved.

Outstanding! Great facility, everything is new and clean and put in its place. The staff is very professional and friendly. Highly recommend.

Jeff Curan and his team are the best at what they do. This is a place where you can go at any level or experience, from trained fighters to kids to first time experience at any age. You will ge no better training, instruction, and care at any other location. His kids programs are incredible! Chuck and his team dont just teach the movements to the kids, but teach them respect, discipline, and real world tactics for kids to avoid physical conflict, but they learn the tools to defend themselves if they need to and how to only use enough force to escape and tell a responsible adult or authority. I cant say enough about these guys, except that I trust them with my daughters!

Staff and coachs at Team Curran MMA are awesome, friendly and extremely knowledgeable in many disciplines of self defense. Great place for adults or kids to train for fun, sport or self defense!

Team Curran has one of the nicest facilities and a multitude of very friendly members/teachers out of all gyms I have ever attended.

Jeff Curran could not have been more gracious and humble. I took BJJ at an Evanston location for a short time. Jeff and his students taught and assisted classes near Northwestern University 2 days per week. This was several years ago just after he fought for the WEC championship. I learned a ton and wish I could have continued but family obligations (dying relative) were the #1 priority.I just finished discussing my time taking BJJ with a colleague and it prompted me to check out how far the school in Crystal Lake is - hoping I could rejoin. Just wanted to let Jeff know how much I enjoyed his teaching style and how much I learned under his leadership.

Ive been training with Jeff Curran/Team Curran for over 14 years! I travel and train all over nation, the coaching staff led by Professor Curran is one of the best. Jeff is one of the most TECHNICAL instructors Ive come a crossed in my time in Martial Arts and thats huge when learning how to DEFEAT an attacker weather on the mats,cage or street who is bigger, stronger and faster.Jeff has FOUGHT,TRAINED,TOUGHT all over the WORLD with all that knowledge the students get is HUGE! The student body is diverse from ages 5-70! Everyone is made to feel welcomed and thats important when deciding on a place to train. This experience has change my life, I own and operate my own Academy. If you want to enhance your life go train Martial Arts,go give Team Curran a try..

I have participated in both the Muay Thai program and the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the past 3 years and can not say enough about the quality of the instruction. These people are passionate and it comes through in their instruction. The approach is extremely individualized, so anyone can do this and feel successful.I have been to 4 other academies and none of them come close.If you want to be fit and confident in your skill, this is the place for you.Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

This gym has literally changed my life. I decided to take advantage of their offer to try any of their classes once for free, and I was immediately hooked. I now train there several days each week in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Boxing. I couldnt be happier with my decision to get a membership there, Ive met so many wonderful people and Ive managed to get into better shape doing things I enjoy immensely.I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out and trying out some of the classes regardless of what your fitness goals are, they work with all shapes and sizes and can help you lose weight, get in better shape, and you also learn some awesome and practical self defense while doing it. You can even join their fighter training program if youre interested in getting into fighting MMA. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and they (along with the rest of the members) have made me feel so welcome and like a part of the family since the day I walked in. I have never enjoyed exercising more, and I can safely say that training the various martial arts under Team Curran has been a life changing experience for me.

Joined jiu jitsu almost a year ago and dont see myself working out any other way. Staff is friendly and instructors are top notch. This is a gym for everyone--from your mma fighters, jiu jitsu competitors, or an old hobbyist like myself. The facility is amazing: plenty of mat space, lots of parking, an octagon, boxing ring, bags, sauna, locker rooms with showers!

World class instructor, outstanding facility, great atmosphere.

Great facility and awsome instructors.
