ASD has been the best MMA gym I’ve been to. I only trained there for a few months but the instructors are incredible, eager to teach new students and will work with you if you don’t understand something right away. There are no egos at this gym. Everyone is very humble and very professional. ASD offers a wide variety of classes at a very reasonable price. If you’re in the Chicagoland area I definitely recommend ASD. Get in shape, learn to fight, get involved.

Very great place to learn the fundamentals of modern fighting. Members are easy going, and know how to put pressure so you'll actually learn.
I also get to beat up Christian Alvarez as well.

I went to get information on the classes. Matt was very informative, and understanding. Even though I've never been there before, I felt like I was talking to a friend who was excited about what he does to help others achieve their personal goals.

I’ve studied here since 2001 and have experience training in many schools. Just this last week 3 students fought, one kickboxing, and two mma, and all three won decisively. Great program!
However most of the students there are just good people who want to get in shape, learn to defend themselves, and have a good time with no negative energy.
