Carlson Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Headquarters

““Great place to train. Clean, friendly, safe atmosphere—highly recommend for all people.”

“A wonderful school for BJJ. My three children love their youth classes (Usually 8 to 15 students) Pedro, Arthur and Laura do a great job controlling (discipline) and educating the kids in a way that they find fun. The parents are welcoming and many of the kids have been going for years and I’m sure my kids will attend for years to come.”

“The source of jiu jitsu! The home of Legendary Carlson Gracie. The academy provides world class instruction and is a great facility. I’ve been fortunate to go to CGT all over the world but nothing beats HQ. Top notch training and environment that will elevate your game and let you have some fun while doing it. Can’t say enough good things about the place and the people!”

“I had the Privilege of training with Chris C. for two years. He is a very patient trainer.He uses techniques and inaligies for easy understanding. I always got a good workout when training with him. He made my sessions fun and educational.”

“Carlson Gracie Chicago is definitely the very best place that you can train at in the Chicago area. All of the instructors are world class and are very helpful and welcoming to the students. Carlson Jr. Teaches personally and you just won't get anyone with better experience. You'll learn from the source and from the best when you train here.”
