What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Jason Kohl

"I always recommend Brazil-021 to anyone looking to train Brazilian Jiujitsu in the Chicago or Arlington Heights area. Andre, Vini, and Hannette are world class instructors. The school is welcoming, and all the instructors are extremely helpful. They care about their students learning, whether it is competition or self defense. Andre and JT are also excellent law enforcement tactics instructors as well. The Friday night class for police, focusing on law enforcement tactics, should be attended by any officer who wants to increase their capabilities and officer safety skills."

Sebastian Guerrero

"I highly recommend this gym to people of all levels. As a beginner I’ve been exposed to a whole new world. With a combination of tough training and detailed skills, all the professors here have so much knowledge to offer. I always look forward to my days training because not only am I enduring a challenging workout, but the mental clarity I feel after class is one that I haven’t experienced before."

Audrey Alberti

"Brazil 021 School of Jiu-Jitsu! This place is my second home since day one I feel comfortable. It's a family environment. They also have a Women's class self-defense which is great, as a woman know how to defend yourself these days is so important. Professor Andre and Professor Hannette are amazing ,they dedicate their lives to jiu-jitsu. Brazil 021 is an above and beyond"

Jose Cervantes

"This Jiu-Jitsu school is amazing for kids. Instructor and owner Andres is just really amazing with kids. My 6 year old was on the verge of tears because she didn't want to stay. But because the place and Andres came highly recommended, I convinced her to give it a shot. I'm so glad she agreed. By the end, she was completely engaged and smiling and telling em about how much fun she had. Suffice to say, she is singed up a d happily goes every. And we could not be happier that she is learning self-defense and how to deal with bullies. So I highly recommend this school!"
