“I am very happy to have found such an amazing Jiu-Jutsu academy so close to my home for my 9 year old son. This place is super clean, air conditioned, properly setup for excellent trainings. I love that the location has proper Matt/Flooring for takedowns to avoid getting hurt. You can see the raised floor in the pictures. The other thing I love is that the kids learn in a room out of parents influence. There is a camera pointing at them for us to see in the waiting area but this keeps the kids focused and attentive to the teacher without having to look over at their parents for their approval. It really fosters a great learning environment for the kids. The owner Skinny and his wife are truly talented and prestigious black belt instructors. On one occasion my son needed extra help with his flips and exercises and Skinny recommended that I show up 10 minutes early to each session free of charge just to help him keep up with the rest. Honestly, that's a teacher that cares about his students and something you almost never find in this line of business. What's also amazing is how well the kids truly listen to their instructor and behave. I think this goes without saying but if BJJ lab fosters a healthy, clean, and entertaining environment this is why the kids really respect one another and listen. The instructions never have to tell them to pay attention and it really does feel like a gathering among friends. In Conclusion: I can't recommend them enough. Thank you BJJ Lab for existing in my area. My son is improving his BJJ and truly loves your teaching methods and location. P.S. As a plus, if your hungry after a session, which most kids and parents are, there are so many restaurants withing walking distance in the area. Francesca's is right next door for example. :)”

“I had an amazing experience training at Vuk BJJ!! I came in from out of town for a week and did a few drop ins. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The instructor David “Skinny” was phenomenal. Classes were well run. I didn’t experience any egos, it was a great experience. And that facility was top notch! Very clean, and comfortable. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town!! Thanks Vuk!!”

“As a frequent traveler, I ensure that I maximize my mat time, enabling me to connect with fellow jiu-jitsu practitioners and visit various gyms. Upon reaching out to Vuk BJJ, I had the pleasure of attending a Saturday no gi class that offered top-notch instruction from Professor Eduardo and a welcoming training environment. With eight years of jiu-jitsu experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the people at Vuk BJJ were among the most pleasant and helpful individuals I've had the pleasure of training with. If you ever find yourself in the West Chicago area, I highly recommend checking them out. Vuk BJJ”
