Great place to roll. I was there on business and did a few drop ins and everyone was inviting and friendly and the staff very professional. Each student from white belt and up had great skills and I appreciated the variety of quality levels to learn with. The format of the class is, in my opinion, the most conducive to leaning the art well. I have been to many schools around the world and this by far was my favorite way of learning the art. It is no wonder why everyone was so skilled. Thanks a bunch for letting me roll with you.

Very clean. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Professors are really knowledgeable, helpful, and nice. Learned a lot my first two months here and plan to go back during winter and summer break when Im home during college. Overall I love this place!

I came in with no prior martial arts experience and was a bit hesitant at first, but the patience and the professionalism of the staff quickly made me feel at home. Aside from the staff, the other members are equally as welcoming and the facility itself is very well maintained. If youre interested in training Jiu-Jitsu, this is the place to go!

BJJ Lab is an awesome place to train. All of the coaches and the students are very welcoming to everyone regardless of experience. It doesnt matter if your intentions are to compete or just learn the sport, the coaches are very supportive and encouraging. The facility is always clean and the team does of a great job of making sure it stays that way. I have been very happy with my decision to start training and competing with the BJJ Lab squad.

Joined the team one year ago after Jessica Swanson seminar and I am loving it! Jessica is a great athlete and coach, always motivating us. 101 and women classes are excellent! All coaches are great, very respectful and helpful. Gym is super clean and with good vibe! Couldn’t be happier, highly recommend this team!

I came to this gym a couple of months ago and it has been life changing. They took me in and treated me like family. There are several people at this gym here to build you up and make you a better person everyday. Thank you BJJ Lab Team for all that you have done for me physically and mentally.

If I lived in the area I would absolutely train here. I dropped in for a visit and everyone I encountered was really open and friendly. Also based on the level of skill rolling with different people I could tell the gym has a very high level of instruction! Highly recommend.

BJJ Lab has a professional clean inviting environment that is suited for everyone, highly recommend if you are in the area to check them out and get started on your Jiu-Jitsu journey!

I left another Academy in order to train at BJJ Lab. That ended up being a great decision! BJJ Lab has a better atmosphere along with amazing instructors. As a newer student I have discovered that most of the higher belts are glad to share their wisdom and assure a great training environment. The facility is kept very clean and I recommend giving it a try!

I came to BJJ Lab because I found it here on google and it was the highest rated academy in the area. I came to them as a Brown belt already from another academy and they immediately welcomed me with open arms. All of the Instructors are world class and they have the credentials to back it up in IBJJF etc. We train hard and we have fun. Definitely recommend.

Ohh man i love this place so much, i wish i could train here more but due to work and stuff i cant, Id be here every class otherwise. Black belts instructors with years of knowledge are more than happy the share it with you. My kid likes it here a lot John its an amazing instructor. Highly recommend this place.

Great place to train. The entire staff is friendly and helpful. All of the members are respectful. A great way to exercise and forget about your daily troubles.

Hello, practicing Jiu Jitsu here is so fun! Coach Mark and the rest of the coaches are very good at what they do. The men and women who train here are very cool and accepting! Please come here and train the great sport of Jiu Jitsu with us!

My son loves BJJ Lab, its been incredible for his confidence and discipline. Hes involved in many activities but this is amongst his favorites every week! Great facility, great staff, highly recommend to anyone (young/old) who want to get into jiu jitsu!

My sister and I decided to switch gyms from a gym we have been out for 2 1/2 years. We found BJJ Lab through a seminar with Jessica Swanson, an amazing black belt instructor. We started attending their women’s only in class and we are so thankful that we did. The support that we have gotten from the instructors and the other members has been amazing. This place is fun, friendly, not stressful and clean and I say that because I’ve visited many gyms across the country and in Europe. This has been an amazing experience and I recommend anyone who is interested in BJJ to check out BJJ Lab!

I enrolled my 10 year old son in classes in late 2020 and he continues to enjoy his weekly classes. He likes the instructors, fellow classmates, and learning more about Jiu-Jitsu.I chose BJJ because of the experience and competencies the instructors demonstrate. Youth instruction is engaging and instructor to student ratio provides individualized attention. Ownership is mindful of cleanliness and implements procedures for maintaining a disease-free environment (i.e. Ringworm). I recommend BJJ for anyone who wants to focus on mind, body, and spirit for maintaining a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.

Great instructors and always good rolls with the people there. Very friendly environment and they also bring in great guest instructors of the highest level.

Coach Bill & staff are great with the kids. My 6 year old has gained so much confidence and is always excited to go to class!

Reasonable prices especially compared to some other gyms, no sign-up fees, no forced expensive team gis - you can wear any Gi as long as its white/black/blue, no forced long term contracts, no stupid bowing to photos of the Gracies or bowing to the mat like its a religion or something, no life coaching. Just straight up BJJ. Everyone is super welcoming, helpful, and encouraging to the newbies, both the staff and other students. If youve been thinking about getting into BJJ, cant recommend this place enough.

This was my visit to Jiu-Jitsu training and the staff was very pleasant, welcoming and professional. I look forward to progressing so that I may take full advantage of everything they have to offer.

Great place. I tried free classes at other places in the area and none of them had the same welcoming atmosphere that BJJ Lab has. As a complete beginner this was important. Everyday I went I learned something new from someone else. Everyone was so friendly and so willing to help. If it wasn’t for moving out of state I would still be going.

BJJ Lab is full of amazing instructors and helpful training partners. They have classes that range in experience level designed to help people that are just starting out to people that have been training for years. The facility is excellent and the environment is very welcoming. I’m very glad I signed up for the free class because I was instantly hooked.

My daughter goes here and loves it. Highly recommend

Amazing hospitality and communication from the coaches. The best place for kids!

Amazing place to train. Challenged me to be a better person on and off the mat.

Great gym with great people. Everyone is about building each other up and training.

My 3 children train here and absolutely love it. They like to practice on each other at home or with their dad (who also trains here). It has given them more confidence! Class size has grown so much an extra day was added. My kids have been recruiting friends to try it since they enjoy it so much. Instructions are great with the kids and you always here positive reinforcement on and off the mat.

Ive trained at other gyms, but Ive finally found my home. The gym is clean, the kids instructors are fantastic, and the people make you feel like youre part of the family. The womens group is amazing, and Jess is a fantastic instructor. Im so happy I found this place!

Fantastic academy! I cant say enough about how great the people are at the is gym. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the academy is spotless. The students are extremely welcoming to new students and the instructors are amazing.

My son says, ‘I like learning all the cool moves.’

My 2 boys attend kids class here and the level of instruction is beyond compare. They take the time to make sure all the kids are learning and having fun. Based on what I viewed watching my kids. I signed up and between getting to train with world champions and the black belt instructors on staff the level of training is amazing. You could not ask for a better place to train whether its for your kids or yourself this is where you need to be.

After some research of gyms in the area, I settled on trying BJJ Lab and was hooked after the very first class. Started the long journey two years ago and I can honestly say I was lucky to find this place the first time. World class instructors not only come in to visit and teach their style from around the world, Mark Turner, a world class Black Belt, teaches there many times a week. If you’re looking for a gym to start, no matter your skill level or age, come in and check out the gym.

I couldnt be happier with BJJlab. My 5 year old son has been training here for two months and just loves it! He has so much energy and this has been the perfect outlet. The instructors are very patient and keep his attention, not an easy thing to do. He just sees it as fun, but I like the discipline and confidence he is developing. So, I tried out a class myself a couple weeks ago. As a 43 year old tradesman with beat up joints, my initial hesitation was getting hurt. After going a few times, I have come to realize that these are a great group of guys and girls, very welcoming and letting me go my pace. The skill level of the instructors is impressive and I look forward to learning!

Professional, highly skilled coaches, masters of their craft. This is an absolutely excellent academy for anyone at any level of Jiu-Jitsu. A great community that takes you under their wing to help you be the best you can possibly be. I highly recommend BJJ Lab Naperville.

I have had the privilege to train at many different gyms throughout the world, and this is hands-down the best of all of them. Mark Turner is an exceptional martial artist and teacher. His skill set and methods are among the best in the world. The facilities are immaculate. BJJ Lab has top-of-the-line mats, and they are always clean. The most important feature are the people. BJJ Lab has some of the most skilled, friendliest, and most well-rounded students anywhere. It is a true honor to be a part of the family. Come see why BJJ Lab is so highly rated as the premier BJJ academy in Naperville.

Fantastic place to train! Detail oriented, clean, and is full of nice people who are tough and can strangle you: but they won’t hurt you. I have been training since 2002 and have had the luck and privilege to train with many black belts. Nowhere is better than this gym.

Was visiting Chicago for Thanksgiving and was looking to get some mat time in so I stopped by at BJJ Lab to check it out and I’m glad I did! Brad and Mark and all the guys were not only extremely skillful and experienced, but they were also very friendly and helpful! If you live in the Chicagoland area and you’re looking to get into BJJ, you definitely need to check them out! Additionally, this was one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever seen! Everything was absolutely spotless! Super awesome place! 10/10!

In June I attended an open mat session just to ask about the classes offered at BJJ Lab. I was interested in learning BJJ for self-defense and to keep in shape but was hesitant because Im in my fifties and was not sure how I would fit in. Brad assured me that they had students of all ages, and he even loaned me a gi so I could start that day! It was so much fun that I signed up for 6 months of classes. I have been attending sessions for three months now and it has been both fun and challenging. I feel like I am in much better shape than when I started. All the instructors are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and talented and enjoy teaching everyone regardless of their experience level.

Clean and well balanced! Wether your brand new or a higher belt everyone is welcome. Mark Turner has built a great team! I am a new white belt 7 classes in and felt like part of this team from day 1. Good times&Good Vibes 🤙

I had a serious injury and didn’t think I would ever come back to training, but this place made me believe in myself again!!!! Facility SUPER clean, which is very important personally for me, always some promotions and deals going on, level of instructors is unbelievable, how many academies has 5 black belts???? Head instructor Mark is awesome Person on and off the mat, don’t remember time where I asked a question and didn’t get an answerAll members are super friendly and helping each other, they became my family))))This place is must go!!!!! Don’t wait, come train with us, you won’t find better bjj academy in the area

In 1 week I attended classes taught by 2 different IBJJF champions. If you’re looking for world class instruction in the Chicagoland area you’ll find it at BJJ Lab.

I’ve trained in bjj for 15 years and just joined up with this team recently. It’s a great group and a welcoming environment for people of all abilities. You’ll find great instruction from several black belts who have adapted the game in ways that will challenge anyone. You can prepare yourself for competition at the highest levels or get in shape physically and mentally.

I take my 9 year old son here and he likes and loves going . This is the best place overall to go to if you want your child to learn self defense and jiu-Jitsu. My son is always excited to go all the time. The teachers are great and they do a fabulous job of teaching and teaching correctly. You learn something new every day you come . Believe me you will never get bored and your kids will want to keep coming back for more .

Great environment, team very friendly and helpful. Used to practice BJJ in Brazil and joined the BJJ Lab team since July, never believed that could find the same energy and environment that I had in Brazil but I found it! Could not be more happy. Highly recommend this team.

I trained here for three years and drop back in to train when I am in the Chicago area. Mark and the other instructors are fantastic. The Academy itself is spotless and the students there are the kind you want train with.

Great place to train. Ive been to many academies in the area and the instructors and students at BJJ Lab are all very helpful and nice. Level of instruction is amazing and the best in the area.

Grate BJJ Academy!! Clean and professional. Best coaches in the business. No stress environment. Wonder group of people makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended.

My five year old son has been at the BJJ Lab for one year now and he LOVES it. Not only has he learned a tremendous amount and his skill has improved drastically, the instructors do a great job of making the classes kid friendly and enjoyable. Additionally, the atmosphere is welcoming and everyone feels comfortable diving in to classes despite level of experience.

Mark is an amazing instructor for anyone who wants to learn jiujitsu. BJJ Lab has repeatedly welcomed me as a drop in visitor for the past two years when I am in town. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to train with a welcoming group.

Being new to Jiu-Jitsu, my choice to visit BJJ Lab came down to two reasons - I really liked what their website had to say about BJJ, and the quality of instruction was apparent from reading the bios of the instructors. Day one, Mark was welcoming, respectful, and supportive, and those qualities were reflected by everyone I met. Now 5 1/2 months later, those qualities have grown far deeper and Im 100% convinced I made the correct decision to commit here. The people here are exceptional and I truly feel honored to be a part of this place with them. BJJ Lab has my highest recommendations for everyone who is even remotely interested in BJJ, or is simply looking for a place to improve yourself, do something active, learn lots, and have a great time with people who are genuinely happy to see you. Thank you Mark!!

Great place to get some quality Jiu jitsu ! I am a brown belt and I travel a lot for work and have the chance to train at different gyms in the country. I would highly recommend BJJ Lab for all levels. Awesome learning environment, friendly staff and students. The details with technique shown by Mark ( Chief instructor) are outstanding. Definitely coming back to train here next time I’m in Chicago! Greatly appreciate you guys.

I visited from New York City. This group of people were so kind and so awesome. I learned a great technique from Professor Jerry. When youre in the Chicago area, definitely check out BJJ Lab Naperville!!

The quality of black belt professors and the quality of instruction are the best I’ve ever experienced ! The membership from brown belt to white belt are some of the finest people I’ve ever met, and the interaction between student and professor creates the most conducive atmosphere for learning. From the moment I walked in the door, I knew I was home. Come watch a class and join up! Hope you will.

BJJ Lab has been a great place to train. Mark and Jerry are very good at explaining why techniques work and little details that make all the difference. The students there are always welcoming and willing to help each other in any possible way. I highly recommend BJJ Lab to anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and anyone just interested in getting a good workout.

Ive trained at several academies in the area and BJJ Lab is the best...by far. Their jiu jitsu is top level and they have 5 different fantastic black belt instructors. The students are extremely friendly and welcoming. I cant recommend this place enough.

This is an outstanding jiu jitsu academy. Belts of all colors and training partners of all shapes and sizes to train with every day. Extremely friendly for beginners or advanced this is the place to train. The head instructor Mark Turner is a world class competitor and amazing at teaching in a way to help all levels and experience! 5 stars!!

Although I dont have a comparison, I have been training at this academy for about 5 years now, and I am extremely happy here and I HIGHLY recommend it. Professor Turner is a high level black belt and active tournament competitor, and the details which are taught here are second to none. The members of the academy are not only tough as nails, but also very good people. There is a reason why people fall in love with Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ), and you wont find a better place to train than here, which will ultimately become your second family. Dont hesitate, pull the trigger, and come train with us! See you soon.....

I’ve traveled from California to Newfoundland and been to countless BJJ academies. Just left a no gi class and hands down one of my favorite places. The technicality is exceptional. Awesome place and great people.

Great group of teachers and training partners. Clean and friendly environment. Ive been having a great time training there!

I’ve trained with Mark at BJJ Lab for four years now. I tried several different gyms when I moved into the area before finding Mark’s, but I knew as soon as I walked into BJJ Lab that it would be my home. I love this gym, its down-to-earth vibe, the people who are there, and the Jiu-Jitsu that is taught there. Mark and his team have a good thing going, and if you are even remotely interested in BJJ, self-defense, bettering your health, or bettering yourself as a person I would highly recommend you come give it a try.

Amazing people, great environment to learn

In my recent pursuit to begin training and learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I have been extremely fortunate to find the BJJ Lab. Though joining a new gym and learning a new sport or martial art can often begin as an intimidating experience, the amazing instructors and caring, friendly gym members made me feel like a welcome part of the family from day 1. To put it short, I could not be happier being part of this organization and cannot wait to get back on the mats!

Mark Turner BJJ is a great place to train. Ive trained at many places, and I can say hands down this is the best place Ive trained. Mark and Big John are great instructors and cover all of the details. I like to compete and since joining Ive won many tournaments. There are also a lot of people who dont compete, but are really fun to train with and laid back. Everyone helps each other out. Also Ive observed the kids classes and Mark is great with the kids. When my daughter is old enough (shes a newborn), Im definitely enrolling her as the kids have a blast.

Great place to train. There’s never a class that I don’t learn something to improve. Mark is a great instructor, the team is motivating, and I look forward to going to class every week.

Excellent Gym in the area, very welcoming to guests and new people. The instructors have a lot of knowledge and clearly love to teach.

Good instruction. Good rolls. Clean place. Nice people.

Great academy and community!I have trained BJJ for 5 years and recently joined BJJ Lab Naperville and it is a great place to train. Having some experience in BJJ already, I was a little intimidated about going to a new academy but the second I walked in everyone made me feel extremely welcome.I would definitely recommend BJJ Lab Naperville to anyone interested in BJJ.

Great location, great mat space, and a clean facility. BJJ Lab Naperville offers quality, technical instruction and the instructors are dedicated to the development of every student. It’s a great place to train.

I like BJJ because it teaches us a lot of moves to do for self defense. Also, everyone there is nice and helpful.Nicholas P.

Been training for 6 years at this location. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Great environment for practitioners of all levels.

I started training here over 6 years ago and I absolutely love it. I was completely new to BJJ and it’s literally changed my life. It gave me more self confidence, got me back in shape, and I lost about 10 to 15 pounds. Now, its one of my biggest passions. Mark, Jerry and John are amazing instructors who care about their students and know their stuff. Mark received his black belt from 5X World Champion Demian Maia...kind of a big deal. Their facility is great too. Super clean and a great environment to train in. All the students are welcoming and so great to train with. If you want to get in shape, learn something new, challenge yourself, and grow as a person, then I absolutely recommend coming in.

I was in town for the weekend and was able drop in for a Saturday morning class. Everyone was super friendly and the instruction was top notch. I look forward to training here again when I’m in town.

Ive trained at several academies in the area and Im so glad I found BJJ Lab. They have the highest level of jiu jitsu Ive seen and every class is taught by a black belt instructor. Mark, Jerry, John, Bill and Vlad are all fantastic instructors who focus on making sure everyone is improving. The facility is extremely clean and very well taken care of. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Also, they have a great kids program. Whether youre a beginner, or have been training for a few years, I highly recommend coming in and trying them out. Hands down, the best academy in the Chicagoland area.

BJJ Lab is a fantastic academy with a great learning environment for both adults and children. All three of our children train there and they absolutely love it. The coaches are fantastic with the kids and they learn while having a lot of fun. Mark and his instructors have top notch Jiu Jitsu and provide a great place to learn and train.

My son attends the Kids classes and has a great time. It is a good combination of technique, rolling and fun. It is great that the kids have the opportunity to roll with a black belt. Mark is patient, friendly, approachable yet able to hold the kids accountable and have structure for them. Highly recommend this academy. I have even taken some adult classes and everyone was cool and easy to work with. No tough guy, intimidation mentality that I saw.

Very clean facility, welcoming staff, and knowledgeable instructors. A great environment for the kids. Thank you.

BJJ lab has been an incredible addition to my life, as it is an awesome community of people and delivers next level instruction. I started 9 months ago not knowing a single thing, as a slick sleeve white belt. I have not only improved rapidly in 9 short months, but have grown as a person in many ways as well. Humility, confidence, problem solving, comraderie....its all there if you put in the mat time at the lab.They say the devil is in the details with jiu jitsu, and this gym truly focuses on the details. Mark, Brad, Bill, Jerry, and John are all fantastic teachers and mentors that Ive worked with. Mark has also helped me game grow my game through supplemental private instruction, in addition to class instruction. Mark teaches detailed, practical, and effective jiu jitsu and has a great approach that really distills principles of jiu jitsu, such that you always come away with big picture themes and lessons of bjj. Mark has also hosted amazing guests,...Demain Maia, Wagner Mota (demains coach) and the Atos guys (Peter and Jonnatas), just to name a few.I have enjoyed it so much that I signed my 8 year old son up as well, who also loves it.Great gym and amazing teachers and fellow students.

I’ve only been a member of BJJ lab for just under three years but I’m no stranger to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Therefore, it’s safe to say that I recognize a quality program when I see one. The fact that I’ve been here for three years and intend to continue for many more speaks for itself. If you’re someone who’s thinking of making Brazilian JiuJitsu a part of your life just know that the atmosphere here is fun and friendly. Nothing is expected of you other than to have fun and work at your own pace. Regardless of what your goals are you’ll find that we’re here to help. The hardest part is walking through that door for the first time. After that it won’t be long until BJJ lab starts feeling like home.

Went to class with my daughter today. Had my first Jiu jitsu class ever. They lent me the uniforms and let me practice with them for free. About 20 people in the class. They were all very friendly and professional.

Did a drop in class, very welcoming and great instruction on the techniques and willing to help out so you can get the move down. Thank you for letting join your team for the night.

I have trained at a couple Jiu Jitsu schools in the area, and BJJ Lab is hands down the best. Good BJJ, and a very good attitude by both coaches, and training partners. Mark, and Bjj lab really are better, and its more obvious after seeing what else is around.

If you are looking for a place to train with top level instructors, awesome atmosphere and great results, BJJ Lab in Naperville is a great place to be. From the time you walk in and get warmly greeted by Brad in the front desk all the way when you get in the mats, you will notice how friendly and clean the academy is. I have been training under coach Mark for many years and now I have my youngest son training here as well and he loves it. I cannot say enough about Mark’s teaching method. He is very technical and explains every detail to where it makes a lot of sense to a BJJ practitioner. The other Blackbelts coaching the other classes are also very good in training the fundamentals and advance technique’s in BJJ. The membership is very competitive and affordable BJJ retail items are available when you enter the academy. We also frequently get top level jiujitsu practitioners from around the world that come in the academy to train and have seminars. Just recently, we had Prof Demian Maia come and train with us for a few days in Naperville which was really cool! I have no reservations about recommending this academy to anyone who wants to have fun while learning Brazilian Jiujitsu.

I’ve been training with Mark Turner for over 10 years (with breaks every so often) and can honestly say he is the best BJJ instructor I have ever had the privilege of training under. Mark and the everyone at academy have ensured BJJ Lab will always be my training home and that I will never go elsewhere!

My grandson loves going there and is learning JJ and making new friends. The kids program is phenomenal. Last weekend BJJ Lab hosted a workshop with UFC future hall of famer Demian Maia. It really says this local academy is something special for them to be able to present a world renowned JJ legend. The gym is clean, well maintained, and the instructors are top level.

I like jiu-jitsu because it helps to increase my defense and protect myself and others when in danger. There is a lot of good people and good teachers in jiu-jitsu here.Christopher P.

Great coaching, great mat space, and and super awesome training partners. As far as BJJ improvement goes, if the Lab doesnt have it, you probably dont need it.

My grandson loves his classes at BJJlabNaperville. He is learning confidence and is making friends. Check out their Instagram @bjjlabnaperville to see pics of the kids having a blast.

Amazing facility and knowledgeable instructors. An excellent place to learn jiu jitsu.

Dropped in when I was in the area visiting friends. The facility was very clean, and they are so welcoming, what a great representation of the bjj community!

I feel fortunate to have such quality BJJ instruction / instructors within my reach. Every class I attend I learn something new, and create awesome memories with some great people.Whether you’re training to get healthier, lose weight, an extreme hobbyist, or want to become a world-class competitor, I couldn’t suggest a better place to train and grow as a Jiu Jitsu practitioner.If you’re looking for BJJ in the Chicagoland area I highly recommend BJJ Lab Naperville.

Mark provides top-notch BBJ instruction to participants of all levels of experience, from beginners to world-class competitors.For adults, there is a heavy emphasis on technical proficiency that translates into a great experience on the mat. Those small details really do make a difference. You would be hard-pressed to find an instructor more knowledgeable and capable of teaching those details. Having great instruction and great training partners is a potent combination.My daughter loves the kids class. Mark makes sure that there is a healthy balance of technique, competition, and fun. The kids have a great time while mastering the moves. They might be the champions of tomorrow. Even if they dont reach that peak, they will be confident, disciplined, and well-rounded.Come see for yourself how BJJ changes lives.

Ive taken womens self defense classes with Mark and I loved it! Using Brazillian Jiu Jitsu techniques is really the best way to defend yourself. I learned so much and gained a lot of confidence. Mark and his staff are phenomenal teachers and I encourage any man, woman or child to train with him!

I am Erik, 11yrs old. I like that we learn new moves each class and not once a week or month. Some days we review the moves we know. And at the end of every class we roll against other kids to try out what we learned that day, building my knowledge and confidence. When he shows us a move he does not just shows it once, but he shows it 2-3 times so we understand the new move. Still if someone does not get it he will help him/her who is stuck when we start practicing.I am Erik’s Dad, and my son wrote in his words the above review. If you are interested in learning the Art of BJJ or just want to shed some weight & get in shape, this is a Great environment to succeed.

Welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable instructors. If you are looking for BJJ instruction check them out.

I have always wanted to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so when the time came I was searching around for an academy that I connected with, and when I arrived at Mark Turner BJJ the searching stopped. The quality of jiu-jitsu is exceptional. Mark received his black belt from jiu-jitsu world champion and MMA athlete Demian Maia. Mark and John’s instruction is technical and thorough, yet easily understood. They explain the logic and even some jiu-jitsu philosophy. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable, and the facility is great. If you’re curious, want to learn some jiu-jitsu and self-defense, or looking just to get in shape, I strongly suggest Mark Turner BJJ.

Mark Turner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a special place. Mark received his black belt under Demian Maia, one of the top BJJ practitioners in the sport. Mark focuses on bringing the details of proper technique, form and discipline, that he learned under Demian, to all of his classes. It is obvious when you train with Mark and his other instructors that each of them possesses a deep knowledge and respect for the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Mark and his team also do an incredible job in their kids classes. These classes are a great balance of discipline, conditioning, technique, sparring, anti-bullying talks, confidence building and fun for boys and girls as young as 4 to 16. The kids and parents have a family feel during these classes as many of the kids have been training together for a long time. Finally, Marks academy is conveniently located behind Naperville North High School. It is a large space that Mark takes pride in being an ideal space to train in. This is an academy where anyone will feel comfortable training from kids to beginners to serious fighters. I cant recommend Mark Turner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu highly enough...it is the place to train in the Naperville and surrounding area.

Great technique and safe atmosphere that will test your skills.
