  Laid back atmosphere, competitive athletes, this place has it all. Curriculum is well-structured, there are a ton of class options over two locations, and you won’t find the predatory sales practices and pressure to sign long contracts like you encounter at a lot of other gyms. I utilized the class punch pass until I could consistently commit to membership. Great place to start if you’re a beginner (like me), but also has a high volume of upper belts as well if you are experienced and looking for a new place to train. 10/10.

  Stopped in from out of town - the environment was extremely welcoming and the instruction from Jay was top notch. I’ll likely be back while I’m in town and any time I come back! I had a great lesson and got some really solid rolls in.

  I had a fantastic experience at Valko while travelling through town for work, great community, clear instruction and made me feel supported and welcome as a relative beginner white belt. Would recommend!

  I have been training at Valko BJJ for over a year now and have improved tremendously. All the instructors are awesome and the owner, Jay Valko is a great guy and very approachable. Highly recommend for beginners and also experienced grapplers.

  In my opinion, the best bjj academy in Chicago. Classes 7 days a week with amazing professors. Valko BJJ has students from all kinds of levels and it is excellent for hobbyists and competitors. Recommend 100%!
