Chicago Mixed Martial Arts

Chicago Mixed Martial Arts operates two fully equipped facilities in Chicago, Illinois, situated on North Halsted Street and East Cermak Road. The academy combines three historic martial traditions: Ralph Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Luta Livre submission grappling, and Sityodtong Muay Thai. Instruction is anchored by Misho Ceko, who holds black belt ranks under Ralph Gracie and Hugo Duarte, alongside striking instruction rooted in Kru Mark DellaGrotte's Sityodtong system. Students train across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, no-gi submission grappling, Luta Livre, Muay Thai, K-1-style kickboxing, and kids martial arts. The gym maintains an active competition team competing in regional grappling tournaments, amateur bouts, and striking events across Illinois. Practicing athletes and beginners in Chicago can visit either location to explore class schedules and membership plans.
