Great place to train. I was nervous being a newbie and older than everyone else, but Skinny and my classmates were awesome. I felt the instruction was professional and personable and I just didn't know how fun jiu-jitsu was going to be. I trained with Skinny mostly, but with Rafeal and Eduardo, also. I liked training with all of them and my training partners. Only reason I left was because I moved out of state for work. The facilities in Wheaton and Elmhurst are top notch. I was really on the fence about starting jiu-jitsu but I'm so glad that I did. Thank you Skinny and everyone I trained with for a great experience.

I train at a BJJ school in the city, but the drive is overwhelming so my professor at Molinaro Jiu Jitsu recommended me to train here. Let me just say...for me, taking class at another school is so nerve wracking, but the environment (owner, people, facility, location) is so nice, that you feel immediately right at home. I am so thankful for BJJ schools like this. It is so hard to find good schools especially in the Chicago suburb - Elmhurst- Oak Brook - Downers Grove- etc etc area. Look no further!!!!! Side note: I used to wonder how the parking would be in downtown Elmhurst...IT IS SO EASY!

It's so wonderful seeing kids of all ages becoming friends and supporting one another- he loves having 'big kid' friends. The owners Skinny and Jessica are AMAZING- they go above and beyond. There have been times we've been late to pick up and they always go the extra step to make sure he is watched over until we get there. They both are so talented as well my son has learned so much. We love supporting small businesses and you can tell the both them truly enjoy what they do and provide a wonderful experience. Thank. you both!

Upon reaching out to Vuk BJJ, I had the pleasure of attending a Saturday no gi class that offered top-notch instruction from Professor Eduardo and a welcoming training environment. With eight years of jiu-jitsu experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the people at Vuk BJJ were among the most pleasant and helpful individuals I've had the pleasure of training with. If you ever find yourself in the West Chicago area, I highly recommend checking them out. Vuk BJJ

The community is great, I enjoyed meeting the other students and they treated me as one of their own. The facility is also very nice, I was impressed with the amenities they provide.

If you around the Elmhurst area and want to train jiu jitsu, this is a gym you have to visit. I was fortunate enough to visit VUK BJJ for their Saturday morning 8am class and loved it from start to finish. The instructor Rafael provided the move of the day, went over the move with detail and assisted members during the drilling of the move. Beginner friendly and great for advanced students! The gym mat is spacious and clean! I hope to visit again soon!

I started training at VUK BJJ in Elmhurst not long ago. It has been an outstanding experience so far. Some of the reasons I give it a five-star rating: - Beginner-Friendly: VUK BJJ provides an excellent environment for beginners. The instructors, Rafael and David, are patient and dedicated to ensuring newcomers feel comfortable and supported. Every week I see new people starting. - Welcoming Atmosphere: The academy has a friendly atmosphere. The staff and the students are inclusive, fostering a sense of camaraderie and making it easy to connect with others who share a passion for BJJ. I've been frequently making new friends! - Expert Instruction: The level of expertise of the instructors is impressive. Both possess deep knowledge and experience in BJJ, which makes them outstanding guides for beginners and advanced students like myself. I want to take my jiu-jitsu to the next level, and I am happy with the instruction I get daily. - Comprehensive Training: Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, they offer comprehensive training programs. The classes are structured and organized to ensure a progressive learning experience. I like their approach. It's different than my previous gyms. - Clean Facility: The mats are regularly cleaned and sanitized, creating a hygienic environment for training. (I've trained at gyms that didn't give the same attention to this.) Bonus: The massage chairs they have in front are sooooo good for relaxing after training.

Excellent school. 52 year old “office worker” with zero previous training and minimal athleticism who was curious about starting BJJ. When I started looking at schools in the Chicagoland area – very few of them had early morning classes to accommodate busy professionals. Vuk BJJ solved this problem with a 6 AM class MWF. I am having the time of my life training with a wonderful group of men and women in a SAFE, CLEAN and STRESS FREE environment. ZERO EGO everyone is just having fun. Was I worried about starting this BJJ journey later in life? Yep. Luckily I found Vuk BJJ – this is the perfect school for the older practitioner to learn the “Gentle Art”. No regrets.

Based on the reviews, it might seem that this place specializes in training kids. Although kids do get the most professional training in the area, adults also get an opportunity to train in very clean attentive BJJ gym. This is a very friendly and comfortable environment you can get in combat sports training. The coaches and the owner pay extra attention to the new-comers so you don’t feel left out, explaining the details very carefully without any unnecessary hustle. I recommend this gym to everyone who wanted to try BJJ and/or martial arts but still hesitates. You won’t be disappointed!

I am very happy to have found such an amazing Jiu-Jutsu academy so close to my home for my 9 year old son. This place is super clean, air conditioned, properly setup for excellent trainings. I love that the location has proper Matt/Flooring for takedowns to avoid getting hurt. You can see the raised floor in the pictures. The other thing I love is that the kids learn in a room out of parents influence. There is a camera pointing at them for us to see in the waiting area but this keeps the kids focused and attentive to the teacher without having to look over at their parents for their approval. It really fosters a great learning environment for the kids. The owner Skinny and his wife are truly talented and prestigious black belt instructors. On one occasion my son needed extra help with his flips and exercises and Skinny recommended that I show up 10 minutes early to each session free of charge just to help him keep up with the rest. Honestly, that's a teacher that cares about his students and something you almost never find in this line of business. What's also amazing is how well the kids truly listen to their instructor and behave. I think this goes without saying but if BJJ lab fosters a healthy, clean, and entertaining environment this is why the kids really respect one another and listen. The instructions never have to tell them to pay attention and it really does feel like a gathering among friends. In Conclusion: I can't recommend them enough. Thank you BJJ Lab for existing in my area. My son is improving his BJJ and truly loves your teaching methods and location. P.S. As a plus, if your hungry after a session, which most kids and parents are, there are so many restaurants withing walking distance in the area. Francesca's is right next door for example. :)

I had recently gotten out of the military, and wanted to be as consistent as possible training jiu jitsu as well as balancing work and family life. The schedule is what initially drew me to Bjj lab, but after learning the amount of experience between skinny and Rafa I knew it was a perfect fit! Skinny makes it very accommodating with classes all throughout the days. With showers as well which is very convenient before work or during lunch breaks. Highly recommended!
