Where should I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Chicago?”
“What tournaments are coming up?”
“Does anybody know about <specific BJJ instructor>?”
STOP having to check five different sites and googling stuff all day just to find out the answers to your questions.
Truth is, the answers to those questions are all here on BJJinChicago.com.
The popularity of BJJ in Chicago is a double-edged sword. We have so many academies and tournaments that often times it is extremely difficult to find the best fit for you. Unfortunately, most people do not have time to travel to each gym and tournament to try it for themselves. This is where BJJinChicago comes in.
Current Site:
Updated tournament list
Firsthand Chicago academy reviews
Interviews with Chicago area instructors
Links to all Chicago academies’ websites
A free mailing list with monthly giveaways (starting in June!) —->
Future Plans:
Gym Tour - I will tour all (yes, ALL) of the bjj/mma gyms in the greater Chicago area. You will see videos of classes, interviews with instructors / coaches, images of the facility, and, most importantly, my experiences training at the academy.
Tournament Coverage - I will cover local and regional tournaments. I’ll provide preliminary results, interviews, pictures, video, etc.
Brief bio:
My name is Brendan Hufford and I am currently a purple belt under Miguel Torres / Andre Maneco. I’ve had reasonable success in local / regional tournaments at white through purple belt and I hope to continue that trend. But, frankly, this site really isn’t about me.
