Opened in October 2022, ACES Training Center proudly serves the Round Lake, IL community with a mission to foster growth, discipline, and development through the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The gym offers a beginner-friendly environment that welcomes students of all ages and skill levels, with specialized programs for both adults and kids ages 5 and up.

At ACES, the core philosophy centers on "Effort, Excel, Elevate" - believing that effort is the foundation of excellence, and elevation is the path to greatness. Every class is designed to challenge and empower students to push beyond their limits while learning in a safe, supportive, and team-driven setting. The program focuses on anti-bullying strategies for children, practical self-defense for all ages, improved fitness and confidence, and character building through discipline and teamwork.
