Public Hearing
Special Use to Kaizen Jiu Jitsu to permit a martial arts studio at 1762 W.
Algonquin Road
REQUEST SUMMARY
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu is a new martial arts studio proposing to open in the Forest View Plaza
shopping center. The subject property is zoned B-1 Neighborhood Business District.
Martial arts studios are considered a health club which requires a Special Use under
Section 9-8-1-C-2 in order to operate.
Location: 1762 W. Algonquin Road
Property Owner / Applicant: Forest View Plaza II Partnership / Faizan
Mughni
Property Size: 5.45 ac.
Zoning / Land Use: B-1 Neighborhood Business District / Forest
View Plaza retail center
Adjacent Properties: North: R-7, detention basin
West: R-7, Whispering Trails Subdivision
South: R-5, Algonquin Road ROW
East: B-1, gas station / shopping center
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu Club is proposing to occupy a 2,480-square foot tenant space in the
Forest View Plaza. Minimal changes are proposed for the space. Most of the floor plan
is dedicated to an open-space training area. A new office, storage room, and locker
room would be added, as well as a small retail area and reception desk. Restrooms
would be updated to meet accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) and the Illinois Accessibility Code (IAC). The use would not negatively
impact parking demand for the shopping center. Retail shopping centers require 4
spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area and the shopping center currently has
an adequate supply of parking (282 spaces) for its size and tenant mix. Parking hasn't
been an issue in the shopping center.
Hours of operation would be 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm Monday through Thursday; 10:00 am -
1:00 pm Saturday and 11:00 am to 12:00 pm Sunday. The maximum size for any one
session would be 15 students.
The club is operated by two full-time staff members who are experienced in operating
similar martial arts studios in the Chicago area.

Background: Kaizen Jiu Jitsu was founded on over a decade of experience as both a
practitioner and instructor, training under the prestigious Gracie Allegiance Team. In
2021, we co-founded All Star Jiu Jitsu in Lombard, IL, growing it into one of the most
successful academies in the area with a thriving student base and strong community
presence. After selling our share in that gym, we set out to create something of our
own—Kaizen Jiu Jitsu—in Hoffman Estates, the city we proudly call home.
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu is proud to be a direct affiliate of the prestigious Gracie Allegiance
Team, led by the highly respected Carley Gracie. This elite affiliation is exclusive to only
eight gyms in the Midwest, ensuring the highest level of instruction, lineage, and
tradition. Our mission is to cultivate a community-driven training environment where
students of all levels can grow, improve, and embody the Kaizen philosophy of
continuous progress.
Currently, we do not have intentions to expand to multiple locations. However, we have
proactively requested the landlord to grant us the first right of refusal for the neighboring
spaces, allowing us the opportunity to expand our current facility if the right
circumstances arise.
Mission: Our mission is to build a strong, inclusive community where people from all
walks of life can come together. At Kaizen Jiu Jitsu, we believe that the practice of Jiu
Jitsu goes beyond physical training—it’s about fostering connections, building
relationships, and creating a supportive environment.
We envision a place where individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels can
unite, learn, and grow together. Our Academy will be more than just a training facility; it
will be a hub for community engagement, personal development, and PXWXDOUHVSHFW

By bringing Kaizen Jiu Jitsu to Hoffman Estates, we aspire to spark a new wave of camaraderie
and support, helping to weave a richer, more connected community fabric. Join us in this
journey to empower individuals, foster unity, and build a vibrant, thriving community.

Kaizen Jiu Jitsu Club will complement the surrounding area by providing a well-maintained, professional facility that promotes
health, fitness, and personal development. The club will operate in a structured and respectful manner, ensuring that noise
levels, parking, and overall activity remain non-disruptive to neighboring properties. Additionally, a high-quality martial arts
academy can enhance community appeal by attracting families and individuals, potentially increasing local property values.
3. That the establishment of the Special Use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding
property for uses permitted in the district. Please provide an explanation.
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu Club will operate within zoning regulations without disrupting future development. As a low-impact,
family-friendly facility, it will generate minimal noise and traffic while enhancing community appeal. The club will comply with all
local codes, ensuring it supports, rather than hinders, the area’s growth and improvement.

points. All utility connections and drainage systems will comply with local regulations, ensuring seamless operation without
straining public resources.

public streets. Please provide an explanation.
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu Club will be situated in an area with adequate parking and well-planned access points to ensure efficient traffic

space for vehicles to enter and exit smoothly. The layout will ensure that traffic remains orderly and does not disrupt the
surrounding neighborhood. We will communicate with students and parents on where to park and how to avoid any traffic.

Plan, or other relevant adopted sub-area or strategic plans. Please provide an explanation.
Kaizen Jiu Jitsu Club aligns with the Village's economic development goals by contributing to the local economy through job
creation, attracting visitors, and supporting local businesses. As a community-focused fitness facility, it enhances the well-being
of residents and fosters a healthy, active lifestyle, which is a key component of the Village’s long-term vision. The club also has
the potential to increase foot traffic in the area, benefiting nearby establishments, and contributing to the overall growth and
vitality of the local economy as outlined in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.
