Brazil 021 Arlington Heights - School of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Self-Defense

"I walked in once for my children. The instructor was awesome. I do hope when I'm financially stable in the near future to take classes for myself and my children."

"I started training here August 2023, and I have loved it ever since. I’ve never been the type to do rough, contact sports (outside of the water), but ever since I was influenced by my boyfriend and his mom, I am glad that I did not miss out on the opportunity to step outside my bubble. I met some really great people and the professors/coaches are amazing. They are so thorough and make sure everybody understands everything. I felt really included and I learned so many new things. I can now defend myself in almost any situation. It’s so worth it, highly recommended!"

"I’m a new student at Brazil-021, I have never participated in a martial art and didn’t really know what to expect. What I got when I came in for a free lesson was that inside this gym are an amazing group of people that help you achieve your goals. The instructors are full of knowledge and passion to pass that knowledge on. The higher belts invest their time coaching and guiding you to help you at every step. I don’t know how I found this gym but I know for a fact that I am a lifer!"

"I’ve never heard of BJJ until a year or so ago when I was looking to do a more interactive sport. I didn’t know what I was getting into but I loved it the moment I started. This sport not only keeps your body in great shape , but your mind as well. Very friendly environment with amazing Professors and students. Highly recommended!"
