Adult Blend at Chicago's World Famous Degerberg Academy of Martial Arts

The best of over 300 fighting styles taught as one. From beginner with no prior experience to advanced levels, our cross-trained, award-winning instructors will guide your progress in a positive, friendly and encouraging atmosphere.

Sweat. Strength building. Stress building. Empowerment. Achievement. Friendship. Fun. And, last but in no way least, lifelong self-defense skills. Degerberg is the only place where you can give yourself all these gifts at the same time. Each class is like a one hour vacation.

Defined and refined over 50+ years of experience, the Degerberg Blend, our unique approach to Mixed Martial Arts education, incorporates elements of over 300 international fighting styles. A small sampling of 'ingredients' in the Blend include Boxing, Kickboxing, Thai Boxing, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Kenpo, Savate, Tae Kwan Do, Jeet Kune Do, Kung Fu, Lee Jun Fan, Wing Chun, Kali, Aikido, Streetfighting, Grappling, Wrestling and Shoot Wrestling. By learning the best of many martial arts, you will instinctively use the right techniques to handle any given situation.

At Degerberg, you can augment your Blend training with specialty classes in various martial arts and fighting styles that interest you. For example, you can take the Blend two days a week but also take a specialty class in Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Self-Defense or a Fitness class.

The Degerberg Academy is distinguished not just by the Blend but also by its genuine, close-knit family atmosphere, anchored by instructors whose average history with the school (including training and teaching) is well over 10 years. We're more than a school. We're a family that welcomes new members with open arms.

The Degerberg Blend is a great way to learn self-defense. But you may also find that it improves your life in ways that go beyond self-defense. Our adult students frequently tell us that:

They generally feel more upbeat, relaxed and calm (than prior to joining Degerberg)
They have more energy
They like the way their clothes fit/look/feel
They feel more flexible -- both physically and mentally
They feel more focused and confident at work
They feel more confident and poised at work and in their personal lives
They feel better able to manage challenging professional and personal relationships
They feel more secure in their ability to protect their families
They feel a sense of empowerment

We encourage you to ask any adult Degerberg student about their experience here and/or consult Yelp. What you'll hear is that each class feels like a vacation. Once you bow in, there's nothing to worry about. You can "turn your brain off" for a while and become fully immersed in what you're doing. Our students find it so relaxing and enjoyable, many of them refer to Degerberg as "The Healthy Addiction."
