Chicago School Of Grappling

Update on parking: If you can’t find parking on the non-​permit streets (which is more difficult during the day if you want to drop by a noon class), they have a bunch of permits that you can grab and use for the day so you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket!

If you’re looking to start a great journey with great instructors I cannot recommend this school enough! Started my Jiu Jitsu journey with Instructor Nick Cimm and since then, have had so much fun coming here. John Le and Nick Mitria have also been fantastic. The school offers classes in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Jit Fit (A Jiu Jitsu based exercise class).
Great place to learn with quality instruction. Will be coming here for hopefully, a very long time. Come in and try a class, you won’t regret it!

Looking for an experienced but welcoming BJJ gym? Seeking an effective high intensity workout? Convenient location in Chicago? The Chicago School of Grappling is a yes for all three.
Having been a wrestler and jiujitsu practitioner for a number of years, I was very interested in the CSOG. I attended one of the JitFit sessions which is comprised of a circuit of high-​intensity, jiujitsu-​based exercises. The JitFit sessions are non-​contact and fitness oriented, I feel they are well suited to beginners to advanced people trying to get fit, as well as men and women. I believe they have a kids session too. I enjoyed my session, having mainly been lifting the past few years, and the HIIT type session was helpful in addressing my cardio and goal of leaning up, while practicing fundamental jiujitsu maneuvers.
The instructors are very experienced here, Nick and John (black and purple belts respectively), and can teach the spectrum of jiujitsu — from fitness enthusiast to advanced competitor. I highly recommend checking out the CSOG! I’m looking forward to my next session.
