Excellent training academy for MMA - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & kickboxing. The owner - Dave Strasser was in the UFC a few times making him one of the first pro MMA fighters from Kenosha. He fought Georges St Piere & it was very close. Many of the people he’s trained are now pros also.He’s a great guy with a big heart & always funny, friendly, and approachable. I always felt like Dave trained me within my experience level & worked myself up to sparring safely with other fighters that knew what they were doing to not injure myself.Dave’s freestyle academy is the oldest running MMA academy in the area and remains an icon for many years. Thanks for the great memories & excellent training.

I've been training at Dave Strasser freestyle gym now 9 years. If you want to become the best You. Weather that is going to be the best you as a fighter best physical shape the best you can be mentally it doesn't have to be just being a fighter in MMA there's many reasons why people come to MMA gyms it teaches you more than just to fight that's just a small part of it MMA is a lifestyle. You need to be trained by the Best if you want to be the best and I mean this 100% if you're looking to become an MMA fighter Dave Strasser is a legend in UFC he was one of Ben Rothwell first coaches and has over 5 fighters make it into the UFC from his training if you dedicate yourself it will show he has a tools you have to use them it just depends how bad you want it I can guarantee you he will get you there if you listen and you push yourself that goes just the same for people who come to the gym to want to lose weight feel physically fit better it's all about dedication. Dave Strasser knows exactly what you need to get to where you want to be an individual basis is amazing I've yet to meet anyone think anything less of him he knows what he's doing when it comes to being a trainer and he knows what he's doing when he was a fighter he's humble it's been a blessing to meet Dave Strasser he's changed my life money aways I highly recommend both his gyms to go to. Jose Vega is his lead teacher/trainer in the waukegan, Illnois South Gym.

I can not believe the exceptional levels of excellence, expertise, care and personal attention given participants. If you are looking for where you or your kid should be learning, this is it. I have researched and evaluated, and this is unquestionably where the search comes to a halt. If you're looking for bunnies, kitties and glitter, keep looking.
