Downtown Jiu Jitsu Club Chicago

“Down town JJ club is by far one of the nicest academies I’ve had the pleasure of training at. Very laid back and welcoming coaches and members. The facility is extremely clean. From showers, changing room and not one but two mat spaces. I personally didn’t get any one on one time with Adam the lead instructor but I did notice him spending time with a student that had questions after open mat. Jorge, the guy working the front desk was super nice and welcoming as soon as I walked in. I will make this my go to training when I come to visit from out of town.”

“Training here while visiting town has been a fantastic experience! The instruction is excellent, and everyone is incredibly welcoming. The gym is clean, has great rolls, and the showers are a nice touch. I'm bringing the whole family tomorrow. Highly recommend! I had an incredible training experience this morning and was planning to tour the city afterward. However, I couldn't resist dropping by again for a no-gi class. Even though I didn’t have any gear, they generously lent me pants. To my surprise, they were hosting a tournament-style EBI and included me in the under-170 division after asking my weight. It turned out to be the best day ever as a tourist. I'll definitely be going back Tomorrow”

“As a person who is legally blind and almost deaf, (deaf-blind), I am very impressed with the professionalism and welcoming feel of this gym. The coaches here were very good at helping me learn and I walked away feeling like BJJ was for me. While I can't train again anytime soon, this gym will definitely be on my radar. BJJ is a sport that is very accessible to people who are hard of hesring or deaf and blind or visually impaired - and I happen to be legally blind and nearly deaf! I never felt unwelcome here. Shout out to Jorge and Enisa.”

“Had an incredible experience at Downtown Jiu-Jitsu Club! Dion went above and beyond on my first day, giving me a warm welcome, showing me around, and even waiving the drop-in fee. The training was top-notch, and the facility is spotless—truly one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been to. The showers, towels, and toiletries felt like something out of a luxury fitness club. Can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking to train in a professional, welcoming environment!”

“Just joined recently and have been loving the classes and people so far! I had a bit of a membership issue involving my new schedule and Dion was super helpful in helping me resolve it, allowing me to continue taking classes. I am looking forward to continuing my education in this amazing discipline. Shout out Dion!”
