LCCT Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Elgin

"I am leaving this review for a couple of reasons: 1. I would like to let people interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu know about the lineage authenticity that Professor Luiz Claudio Augusto, along with Professor Thiago, have to offer in their Dojos to the martial arts community in general. 2. I also would like to mention the cohesive and coherent jiu jitsu instruction that Juan Ramon Sandoval "Coach Junior," one of his black belt instructors, is providing in LCCT Schaumburg and in LCCT Pro Boxing Elgin. Coach Juan Ramon Sandoval "Junior" I met Coach Sandoval about 8 years ago. Although he has been my jiu jitsu classmate for about 8 years, and I knew that he was coaching the kids class at LCCT in Schaumburg, I had not had the opportunity to know him as a jiu jitsu instructor. Nonetheless, Professor Luiz Claudio just opened an LCCT Academy in Pro Boxing Downtown, Elgin. Because of that, I had the opportunity to train with him and observe the way he teaches his classes. Coach Sandoval is truly an impeccable instructor in the way he adheres to the Professor Luiz Claudio Augusto's spiral curriculum. He follows the curriculum in the same pedagogical process that Professor Luiz Claudio would do. He consistently revisits the previous lesson and continues with the next. He carefully dissects each portion of the technique taught during class and makes sure that people understand the how's and the why's Of the technique. Of course, coach Sandoval is not alone. He is consistently technically supported and trained by Professor Luiz Claudio. Coach Sandoval is teaching in Elgin, but Professor Luiz Claudio is closely supervising the quality of the instruction in this dojo in Pro Boxing. I highly recommend Coach Sandoval's instruction because he has an innate gift and dedication in the art of teaching. Before I started practicing with Coach Sandoval, I usually said that I would only train with Professor Luiz Claudio; otherwise, I would not train jiu jitsu. However, after carefully analyzing the way Coach Sandoval teaches and the close ways that he is following Professor Luiz Claudio's high levels of jiu jitsu supervision, I decided to constantly train with him. I have trained in martial arts for about 43 years, and I have been a professional educator in the USA for 29 years. By this time, I have known way too many great fighters, but not many of them have become great instructors or enjoyed teaching. I personally know many champions, but fighting and teaching are very different abilities, and Coach Sandoval is a natural teacher. Teaching is a life-long process and you never stop improving. Still, Coach Sandoval is young and he will solidify his own teaching style. Meanwhile, people interested in practicing Jiu jitsu should know that he is a qualified instructor who is technically and methodologically well developed under the guidance of Professor Luiz Claudio Augusto.

"LCCT Elgin and Coach Junior are the best. I definitely recommend bringing your kids to his class to learn self-defense, discipline and confidence! The whole LCCT team is there to support and help you. I love this gym and 10/10 recommend."

"Been training here for about 5 maybe 6 months already. Great atmosphere, great coach, and just overall great learning experience. Would definetly recommend to anyone interesting in learning BJJ!"

"Coach Junior is amazing. He has coached my kids and husband through the years. He is incredibly skilled in bjj, patient in his instruction, and runs a great class!"
