So i'm not sure where to post this, but i would figure i should start here and see where it goes. I'm going to be moving back to Illinois later this year and I'm trying to find a good training site. Currently I'm training in SoCal, and I would like to continue my training back home. I'm having very little luck with recomendations. I'm looking for somewhere in the Chicagoland area, I haven't decided on a town yet, but i'm willing to travel for a great gym. Any help would be appreciated. (Training centers with websites are a plus)
Gracie Barra in Chicago is pretty good. I've competed against some of their guys and they are the goods. I think there was a very similar thread to this last week. Try searching the forums. Also, Google works wonders for the internet as well. #1 in Chicago for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
There have been soooo many chicago jiu jitsu threads done. The consensus seems to be depending on what part of the city you live on. North Side: New Breed, Curran, Flo/Brasa City: Valko, Gracie, Rio West side: Jeff Neal Southside: Torres, Gilbert Grappling Overall I'd say that Torres is the best and then New Breed and Curran. But clearly I'm biased.
Jeff Curran's place is too far to be considered in Chicago land area. Also, I put Jeff Neal in West Side of the Chicago land area and include Gilbert Grappling to the South and FLO in the North.
