Gracie Barra New Lenox - Jujitsu school in New Lenox - 14623 W Edison Dr, USA

Gracie Barra New Lenox has become the most uplifting part of my week. I came in for one class on a free trial with no intention of signing up. That was 6 months ago! I loved it so much I signed up immediately and since then I do my best to make it in for 2-3 classes a week. Professor Chris is awesome, very patient and an excellent teacher. The overall vibe of the class is so positive and welcoming - higher belts are quick to welcome new comers and work with them. Everyone is very encouraging of small progress made and I always leave class feeling motivated to come back. Love love love!

I have been there ever since it opened and it has been a fun and safe training environment. I have also made many friends in Gracie Barra and I highly recommend this jujitsu school for anyone interested in starting jujitsu.

Wow. People wonder why this cult has such a bad name. This Gracie Barra doesn’t allow anyone outside the organization to train there. It’s not 1950 Brazil. I bet this school doesn’t allow cross training either. Run from this place.

AMAZING! Visited GB New Lenox while in town on business. The team there are simply wonderful, warm and welcoming. Had a great experience and I will definitely return to train again when I am back in town. I highly recommend checking them out. 👍👍

I came in with no experience in BJJ and knew after the first class that I was in. Everyone I met was easy to work with and focused on progression and not dominating the new guy. There are a good number of students of all ranks and ages for training partners. The classes seem to be activly growing with new students. Class times are varied for flexing with my availability. Prices seem comparable to other places. I'm in my 50's and have always have had an interest in martial arts. I have experience with other styles but wanted to round out my knowledge. The Professor and Coaches are approachable and give clear instruction. I'm excited to learn more!

I’m in my 50’s and just started BJJ here in New Lenox. I am instantly addicted. The students are great and help you to grow just as much as the professors do. Professor Chris is an amazing teacher. He’s patient and detailed. It’s a fabulous workout and great for personal confidence. Low impact on the body. I leave tired and never sore.

Such an amazing school! I just started and am having a blast! Everyone is very welcoming and great to work with. Everything is spotless and super clean. If you are looking to start training for jiu-jitsu Gracie Barra is the place to go!

What our kids have been learning here: 1. Respect for each other, siblings, elders, parents and teachers, JJ tradition 2. How to stay active and excercise 3. Self-defense and safety 4. Working on long term goals through routine, determination and "non-quiting attitude" 5. How to stay on schedule and be responsible 6. Developing leadership skills, communication, having athlete friends who are brave to compete although it's intimidating Professor/coach team here is excellent, lead by example and mentorship!
