Southside Jiu Jitsu Club

"My daughter has been taking classes for about 6 months and always has great things to say. I recently visited her and asked if I could take a class. Initially I was very nervous, but that quickly went away. The community was so welcoming and supportive. Not only did I experience Jiu Jitsu, I also experienced humanity and the most uplifting environment. Solomon has created an all inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, supported, and a part of something more than Jiu Jitsu. My only negative take away is that I don’t live in Chicago so I could begin my journey at Southside Jiu Jitsu."

"I never thought getting choked out and pushed to my limits could be this fun. I started training because I’m 4’10 and wanted to learn how to defend myself. Lately, my mission in life has been to challenge anything that makes me fearful, and this club has helped me do exactly that. The coaches and members here feel like family. Everyone’s supportive, encouraging, and genuinely wants to see you grow. The energy is amazing, and the community is diverse…people from all walks of life, different ages, backgrounds, and even professions. It’s more than just a gym; it’s a place where you build connections and grow stronger, inside and out."

"Great Jiu-Jitsu club with a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The coach is knowledgeable and gives clear, detailed instruction. The seminar was well-organized and very helpful for improving techniques. Highly recommend!"
