Gracie Barra Downers Grove

“Five Stars – Great Gym and Great People I visited from Dundee, Scotland, and was made to feel incredibly welcome by both the instructors and students. The training was well-structured, fun, and high quality. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Gracie Barra Downers Grove to anyone in the area.”

“Started training at Gracie Barra Downers Grove three months ago and have absolutely loved it. All the coaches/professors have made the experience memorable and productive. I feel like I've learned so much in the past three months and I'm excited to begin competing a couple months from now. Professor Carlos is a great teacher with a great lineage and I'm looking forward to continue learning from him.”

“Professor Carlos and Professor Pedro provide such a welcoming environment and truly believe in and have pride for the Gracie Barra name. All of the coaches are professional and provide the highest standards for BJJ, self-defense, and kickboxing. BEST decision we have made in our fitness and wellness journey.”

“I would like to l share my impressions of the beautiful academy in Downers Grove, where I was very well received in a welcoming environment conducive to the practice of Jiu Jitsu - clean, organized and disciplined. The people are friendly and at the same time show an unparalleled disposition when training. I've come from far away and I feel at home at Gracie Barra Downers Grove.”

“I switched from the WL location to DG because of work. Since day 1 I have felt so welcomed at DG. The professors and coaches here are amazing and really helpful, especially Coach Vince he is the best. Everyone I train with are super friendly and wants you to succeed and that combination is hard to find. If you’re thinking about doing Jiu Jitsu I would highly recommend coming to DG or any Gracie Barra location, you won’t regret it”
