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 ↗

i’ll be more than happy to help you out, it all depends on where you live to tell you the truth. Brazilian jiu-jitsu gyms are pretty easy to find for the most part. The gym by me is less than five minutes away and they hold lessons basically every night with the exception for weekends. I’m lucky that my gym has been accommodating for my visual impairment needs but, if you want to educate your coaches or need some help. Definitely reach out to myself or some other individuals who practice the sport while visually impaired. They are YouTube demonstrations to help out, but, as long as you keep co source, 2024 ↗

These are probably nearest to Old Town Chicago MMA (Halsted & North Ave) Valko’s BJJ (Ontario & Chicago) Team Fumaca Academy (Clybourn & North) These are also easily accessible via public transportations Downtown Jiu-Jitsu Club (Adem Redzovic) Chicago School of Grappling (by UIC) Carlson Gracie Jr / HQ (Logan Square, Milwaukee Ave) Vianna Brothers (also on Milwaukee Ave near CG) Brazil-021 (Chicago Ave, west of Ashland) Double Five Jiu-Jitsu (Andre Maneco, Chicago Ave East of Ashland) Molinaro Jiu-Jitsu (Lakeview) Lakeside BJJ (also Lakeview inside of Quad’s gym) source, 2024 ↗

Can't recommend andre manecos (double five Chicago) enough. Also; valko, Carlson hq, movemento (izzy rayes is a G), redzovic are Chicago bjj pioneers!!! All in the west loop area. Brazil 021 moved, fwiw. source, 2024 ↗

Just double checking, so that $500 sign up fee is including either a Gi or No-Gi uniform and 4 weeks free? Let’s be honest the VIP portal is probably not that great and defeats the purpose of VIP if everyone who signs up gets it. The nutrition guide is also probably booty cheeks because not everyone is the same. Unless they’re giving you one tailored to what you want to achieve and actually keeping up with you as you progress. So this is the breakdown: Gi:$150 1 month(pretty much): $200 Total:$150 for the first month realistically. And after that $200 a month? It sounds about right since yo source, 2023 ↗
