The BJJ Scene in Chicago
Chicago doesn't belong to any one team. Gracie Barra has academies in the city and out in Downers Grove and Naperville, 10th Planet is in Chicago and Lombard, and Renzo Gracie and Checkmat are both represented. Carlson Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Headquarters is here as well. When it comes to Google reviews, Taylor Biagi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in West Town, BJJ Lab in Naperville and The Academy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Glenview are near the top.
This page doesn't stop at the city limits. Inside them, gyms are spread through neighborhoods like Lake View, Lincoln Park, Logan Square and Edgewater, with more in Pilsen and on the South Side. In the suburbs, the main clusters are west around Naperville and Downers Grove, northwest in Schaumburg, north in Glenview and Northbrook, and southwest in Orland Park.
A fair number of gyms here are MMA gyms that teach jiu-jitsu alongside striking, so if you want jiu-jitsu on its own, look for dedicated BJJ classes. Staying downtown? The Loop, West Town and the Near West Side are your closest options. The suburban academies are easier to reach by car.
