  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!

  Gracie Barra Chicago West Loop – The Best Jiu Jitsu Gym in Downtown Chicago. I had a great experience trainning with High top level Black Belt Marcelo Dourado and the Legend Carlos Lemos. Beyond the technical aspect, the atmosphere at Gracie Barra West Loop is second to none. The community is incredibly supportive, making it a great place for anyone looking to train in a friendly yet challenging environment. Everyone—from the coaches to the training partners—embodies the values of respect, discipline, and perseverance. The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything needed for high-level training. Whether you’re training for fitness, self-defense, or competition, you’ll find everything you need here. Highly recommended!!!

  I visited the West Loop gym while in the city and I was very impressed with the professors and how welcoming the whole team was! When I went in two professors and another student stayed back to give me a fantastic lesson and gave me really great advice to improve. I am still very new to the sport and something that constantly impresses me about Gracie Barra is the willingness for very experienced people to take the time to help me improve and make it clear I am welcome. I would definitely recommend going!

  Loved the 1.5 years spent at Gracie Barra. I came in knowing nothing about martial arts and immediately got hooked. The classes are great for either beginners or advanced participants. The coaches have a strong depth of expertise and bring in guest professors for a variety of teachings. The location is easy to get to and well maintained. Highly recommend!
