Northbrook Jiu Jitsu/Gracie Allegiance/R-Team jiu jitsu/Redzovic Jiu Jitsu

"I have been learning from Professor Barry Phillps for a few years now and Northbrook Jiu Jitsu is a definitely a good fit for me. The atmosphere is great for any level. If you are a beginner this is a great place to start as Professor Barry has the patience and years of experience. From day one he will personally make sure you are feeling welcomed and comfortable and will take time to show the techniques. All of our students women, men and kids are like a family and all respect each other and always willing to help regardless of belt color. There are also an array of skilled upper belts that are very experienced and are a crucial part of helping students learn and improve. This facility is top notch, clean and has new matts with plenty of room for our big classes. I highly recommend this place! Great environment! Great people! Just come by and try it and see for yourself. No intimidation just friendly people that want to learn jiu jitsu."

"Professor Barry is a Chicagoland BJJ pillar and his school has some of the best instruction you can get in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This is reflected in the quality of his students and the number of loyal members and the growing number of black belts he has working with him. Northbrook JJ stands out as the place you need to consider if you want to train, providing both quality and a safe path of longevity on the North Shore burbs from Chicago."

"As a 4-stripe purple belt, I've dropped in a few times. Barry is a very knowledgeable Bjj professor. He provides little details specific to my body type that really elevated my game. He has a great dedicated crew of students varying from white belts all the way on up to a few recently promoted black belts. Whether you're brand new to Bjj or looking to change gyms, I highly recommend Barry at Northbrook Jiu Jitsu."
