Progression Jiu Jitsu 6931 Joliet Road, Indian Head Park, IL 60525

"Progression jiu jitsu is one of the best gyms i’ve personally had the pleasure of training at. I’ve been training very consistently for quite a few years now and recently had to change gyms. i was eager to find a gym that made me feel comfortable and welcome but also pushed me to be better. Professor Dan has a ton of experience teaching and competing and does an amazing job explaining his technique. Not only that but the structure of the classes ensure you are learning the specific technique and also how to utilize it in a live roll. Professor Dan and Andrea are beyond nice and care a ton about their business. They keep every area very clean. This gym is perfect for those who are just starting out but also those who have experience!"

"The atmosphere at Progression is inviting & enthusiastic. I immediately felt welcome by the owners Professor Dan & Andrea, as well as by the students. Everyone is there to learn & support one another in doing so, whether it be to advance in their technique or to experience jiu jitsu for the very first time. Professor Dan is an extremely skilled practitioner & competitor. He is very methodical in his teaching & breaks down moves & technique so that it’s easy to understand for those of all belt levels. Classes are well paced & Professor Dan is always happy to provide pointers & further explanation as needed. The gym is immaculately clean & well appointed with private changing rooms & ample space. If you’re eager to learn & practice Jiu Jitsu while experiencing genuine camaraderie, Progression is the place."

"As someone whos new to the sport couldn't be happier with the gym. Inside is clean, well light and smell good. Professor Dan's ability to explain and break down techniques shows from his years of experience in bjj. Looking foward to working with professor Dan and other high ranking students to help progress my skills. As it says in the name, this is a great place for all skill levels to come better themselves."

"I have started my BJJ journey here at Progression with Professor Dan and it has been a great experience. Professor Dan and Andrea run the school well and keep the facilities clean. Prof. Dan is an accomplished BJJ competitor but even more-so an excellent teacher. The curriculum is well structured day-to-day and week-over-week to build a BJJ foundation. It's easy to feel that a martial arts class might be intimidating but Progression is a very welcoming and educational environment. The school fosters a positive culture training and progressing together. It's insightful as well to note that people drop-in from around the Chicago area for Professor Dan's lessons and consistently remark the same - his instruction is a cut above."

"Dan is an accomplished BJJ competitor with an incredible gift for teaching. He has honed his craft for years as a Jiu Jitsu instructor and personal trainer. Along with his wife Andrea, they run an amazing school with a safe and family-like atmosphere. Whether you are looking for your first introduction to martial arts or are a seasoned practitioner looking to take your game to the next level, you will not be disappointed with Progression Jiu Jitsu."
