When I went in two professors and another student stayed back to give me a fantastic lesson and gave me really great advice to improve. I am still very new to the sport and something that constantly impresses me about Gracie Barra is the willingness for very experienced people to take the time to help me improve and make it clear I am welcome. I would definitely recommend going!”
“Gracie Barra West Loop , is a very welcoming and professional Martial arts school in this area ! The atmosphere is great and its place everyone at any level . The professors are very knowledgeable , located in a very central part of Chicago. I felt welcome and safe .”
“I have been training with Gracie Barra at west loop for almost one year and I LOVE it!!! I am a small girl with no previous experience in martial but I found it safe and fun to train here. Professors are awesome, the students are nice and the classes are super interesting! It’s been a good workout for me and I feel like both my mind and body are trained as my skills develop. BJJ for life!❤️❤️❤️”
“Loved the 1.5 years spent at Gracie Barra. I came in knowing nothing about martial arts and immediately got hooked. The classes are great for either beginners or advanced participants. The coaches have a strong depth of expertise and bring in guest professors for a variety of teachings. The location is easy to get to and well maintained. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing Jiu Jitsu school. We have joined as a family and it has changed our lives. The instructors are very respectful and experienced in welcoming new beginners like ourselves. My 3.5 year old is making new friends and even though he trains together with kids of much older age like 10, he is having a blast and I always feel it is a safe space for him. There are options for classes at different times of the day, which allows for some flexibility. A month in, we are already feeling the difference mentally and physically. Strongly recommended!”
