I'm sorry to hear about the situation at MBD Martial Arts with Michelle and Ben. I've known them for over 18 years since moving to Des Plaines. My son attended their classes on oakton. We got our Krav Maga certifications together about 15 years ago. I'm sad to see the gym closed. They are amazing people and I'm sure whatever it is, they will get through it. We will all be here to support them.
I agree that everyone should wait to see and give it some time before moving on. I also do understand that people need a place to train in the meantime.
I had a BJJ gym in Des plaines for almost 8 years before moving to uptown Park Ridge.
Any of the MBD Students are more than welcome to come train with us at no cost to you at all, for the rest of the year! Hopefully by then MBD will be back, bigger and stronger!
