About Me and Our Gym

Welcome to The Pawn Shop Jiu Jitsu Club, where passion for martial arts meets community! My name is Wilson Hensleigh and I’ve been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since 2016. My lifelong journey of growth and discipline through martial arts practice has now become a dream come true—opening a gym in the area where I grew up, near Rantoul. 

This gym is a place for the practice of the martial art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for sport, self-defense, and self-development.  I believe anyone can train and progress in BJJ, and hope to foster an environment where each person can train and accomplish their individual goals.  If you want to train for competition, self-defense, or just to get in shape, you are welcome here. 

To make it easy for you to get started, we offer a free trial class—no pressure, just an opportunity to experience the art of jiu jitsu and see if it’s the right fit for you.  No Equipment is needed to take a trial class!  Just give us a call to set up a time to come in.

I can't wait to share my love for martial arts with you and help you discover the physical and mental benefits of jiu jitsu.  Let's grow together on this journey!

All Open mats, training sessions, etc. are for gym members, potential members and members of our affiliates only.
