Ascend Jiu-Jitsu Chicago

“Came for a trial class with my sister and loved it. Pierre is an excellent teacher who made us feel comfortable from the start. His passion for JuiJitsu is contagious and his knowledge and experience are bountiful. Classes are small (max 4 ppl). It is more of a boutique school with lots of personal attention given to each student, so you learn a lot. Other students are friendly and supportive. Love it.”

“Got a traveling BJJ workout at Ascendjj. HIGHLY recommended. Professor Pierre is outstanding and has pulled together a small group of very, very good students. His white belts are top shelf blues anywhere else. I really enjoyed the evening classes and learned a lot that will be incorporated immediately into my game.”

“Amazing experience!! As an unknown visitor, I was welcomed as part of their jiujitsu family. The dojo is back to basics: a room with a mat and outstanding instruction. Professor Pires is an incredibly accomplished competitor and yet is able to provide a thoughtful, thorough and makes the techniques accessible even to a junior blue belt like me! Awesome - highly recommended!”

“Awsome experience at Ascend Jiu-Jitsu! Pierre is a high quality teacher and a great human being! I felt very welcomed and i learned so much during the class. I would definitly come back if i have the chance to visit Chicago again!”

“I started with Ascent Jiu Jitsu this month with zero martial arts experience and I do not regret the decision at all. I have already learned so much, Pierre is a top notch instructor and the other students are very accommodating. Plus the studio is in a very nice residential building and you get access to a very nice gym, pool, and locker room. Highly recommend.”
