"Highly recommend this Academy! Sensei Daniel and other teachers Karla and Will hosted a free community women’s self-defense class that was incredibly informative and empowering. It included practical knowledge and hands-on techniques to escape common holds—valuable skills for everyone. It was a fantastic experience, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity. Looking forward to the next one! My son is also part of the BJJ program, and he absolutely loves it! It brings me so much joy to watch him thrive, growing more confident with each class. Coach Al and Coach Mike do an amazing job teaching proper technique while fostering discipline and respect. I’m proud to know that my son is developing a growth mindset and the strength to stand tall in life."
"During a 2 week stay in Chicago I went to Vianna Brothers 5 or 6 times. The instruction was awesome and the training partners were great. This is one of the most welcoming gyms I’ve ever been to. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in town."
"Super welcoming, family-friendly jiu jitsu gym! Great for all ages and skill levels. The coaches are awesome, and the place is super clean—perfect if you’re new or just want a safe, positive space to train."
"I've been training for 15 years. Every time I visit Chicago I make my way to Vianna Bros BJJ. Great community. Great rolls. Great times. Thank you!"
