Great family ran martial arts school! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Top Level MMA is an awesome place to only train at but learn as well from the awesome instructors and everyone around. There is no ego in this place and everyone is willing to lend a hand. Paul and Bernadette (power couple) are the owners and must admit they great people that treat you like family from day one. If you want a place to train at that will push you to better yourself, clean, family oriented and just awesome than Top Level MMA is the place to go to hands down. They are not just there to take your money because they will try their best to work with you, heck just give it a try and take your CC because I guerentee you’ll sign up right after the 1^st class.

Top Level is the real deal. They have an array of classes from standup to the ground/​Jiu-​Jitsu. Paul is the man and so is his wife Bernadette. You can’t go wrong with them, they are a school that will train your whole family including the kids. Their tough as nails but also super nice people!

Nice from the moment I walked in. Exactly what anyone who is looking for a real mma gym thinks of. Searched for over a month in the chicago land area for a place like this.
What I like about this gym
— clean & utilitarian (this is a MMA gym not a mma class attached to a gym)
— they teach multiple classes at all levels, I am novice at Mui Tai but intermediate at BJJ
— the students are very supportive of one another
— the staff has a good time and are all very supportive of the students
— they push you but dont belittle you (most martial arts places I have been to try to break you down… this isnt the military, these guys understand that)
I have trained for over 9 years of my life on and off from Kung Fu to Karate and everything in-​between. If you are looking to get fit, to gain some inner respect and respect for those around you, and to hold you head up high then this is the place. I signed up 6 month contract.
Cons– this is my fault, but make sure if you do go to get the schedule either off the website or from them. Other than that there really aren’t any, training is expensive so expect to pay to play… but I promise this place is worth it I would say best gym in Chicagoland, and I have yet to be proven wrong.

Great classes great teachers. I’ve trained at other gyms for Krav Maga and Boxing, but Top Level is my favorite. Tony teaches Muay Thai and is a great instructor who cares about his students technique and progression. He keeps things simple to establish a great foundation and really explains thoroughly the proper technique.
The class as a whole is really good as well. A team environment without any «Tap out» wanna bees. Paul and Tony stress respecting your training partner and opponent when sparring.
Overall a great clean place. Would recommend to anyone.

This place is a hidden gem. There are a variety of classes at Top Level, but I committed to 2, Thai Boxing and Kali. Tony teaches Thai Boxing and Guru Nate teaches Kali. I learned Thai Boxing a long time ago and in comparison, I like how Tony explains the moves and the progression of techniques. Guru Nate was hard to understand at first and I was frustrated because the I couldn’t pick up the Kali moves, but I’m glad I stuck with it, because the techniques finally started to stick after the first month.
I have been at Top Level for 3 months now and I feel like have made great improvements in my understanding, technique, and execution!
For the knowledge I have gained, endurance training, and a chance to learn with friends it is well worth it! You can always try the classes for yourself to see if it is right for you, Paul is great and easy to talk to!

From training at a couple MMA gyms, I feel like I’ve improved my skills dramatically since being at Top Level. I credit all of it from the 2 things that keep me going here. The teachers being detailed in their explanations while continually challenging the class to keep me motivated! And the environment being extremely relaxed! Despite everyone’s skill levels being different in class, all the students are pretty much willing to help each other learn in a fun atmosphere.
What’s unique about this gym is that they have a wide variety of classes being offered! Since most classes are back-​to-​back, whatever day I’m able to come in, I’m usually able to jump in 2 classes that evening.
For someone who’s not looking to compete in MMA, I see the huge benefit in learning these skills for self-​defense and to get fit! I can’t wait to get my wife and kids to join the classes soon!
