Molinaro, double five Chicago, movemento, and Northside bjj all aren't too far. The biggest in the area that is new breed but they're just outside the city in Niles. Best nogi open mat is in lombard at 10th planet, just a fun suggestion. source, 2025 ↗

Yooo Im getting ready to move to Chicago. A buddy trains at Molinaro jiu jitsu near Wrigleyville and really likes it. I went once for an open mat and liked the vibe. Any chance you could DM me the name of the place you went? Want to avoid source, 2024 ↗
