Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu in Chicago

"Great Jiu Jitsu school! Professor Marcelo was professional, kind and extremely knowledgeable! Training spaces and changing area were clean and well maintained! Excited and honored to be able to train here! Will be back the next time I’m in town"

"I am staying in Chicago for a week and am a member of Gracie-Barra Overland Park in Kansas. I was allowed to drop in and train with some really great folks who welcomed me as part of the Gracie-Barra team. I stayed for the fundamentals class as well as the advanced class. The professor is a world class jiu jitsu practitioner, having won multiple world championships. As good of a competitor as he is, he is also an incredible instructor. If your looking for the best place to train Brazilian jiu jitsu in Chicago, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student, there is no where better to train than Gracie-Barra west loop."

"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!"
