I adore this place. It is a escape from all the craziness outside those doors, I never knew that learning Jiu-Jitsu would do that.
The instructors are beyond amazing and they truly care about you. They want you to get better in skill and of course with your body.
You don't progress because you spent the most money or you've been there the longest; but because you are excelling and if you really care about the art.
I highly recommend this place for anyone who is nervous or feeling self conscience about joining a form of martial art!

Clean gym, nice aesthetics. Very reasonable tuition fees. No monthly contract. Most students are new, friendly and positive. The Professor there goes out of his way to prevent injuries and weed out aggressive egotistical people.
If you are on the South Side and have always been interested in trying Jiu Jitsu. This is a great place for you.

Absolutely a fantastic place to train. The facility is small, but unique in the sense that Taylor incorporates not only the foundations of BJJ, but also mixes in kettle bell training, ropes, agility skills, and more! Everyone there is there to learn and not trying to outdo the next player.
FACILITY: small but extremely well equipped , mats and good for throwing (but I wish there were the blue ones because black messes up my white GI) , and the cleanliness is excellent!
STUDENTS: most are beginners from white belts to beginning blue belts , all students are like-minded individuals who understand

I really appreciate the warm & welcoming atmosphere that's been cultivated here. I always feel supported & challenged by Professor Taylor & the other students. I especially love showing up for class, experiencing the balance of a deep respect for the practice, combined with a light-heartedness & vitality that make it easy to enjoy myself while developing & refining my skills.

A great place to train!!! Friendly, safe, and professional environment. True martial artists that put the group before the individual. Like minded people working towards the common goals of self-improvement, self-defense, competition and physical fitness. Professor Taylor has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he consistently passes on to his students, creating an ever-evolving style.

I had been interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for years, but hadn’t found the right place for me to start until recently. The things that initially attracted me to Like Minded Jiu-Jitsu are what keep me coming back day after day. Darrell Taylor is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, motivating, and patient. The students are humble, friendly, hardworking, “like minded” people. Both the atmosphere and the facility are top-notch and will help you have fun, reach your goals, and meet some great people.
