About this gym
In 1997, Carlson Gracie Junior was the first to open a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Chicago. In the following years, his father, legendary Grand Master Carlson Gracie Senior came to join him and assist with teaching and training the art to which they have both dedicated their lives. As an IBJJF ranked 6th degree black belt, Carlson Junior, or "Junior" as he is affectionately referred to, is the highest ranking BJJ instructor in the Chicagoland area. As a full time resident of the City of Chicago, Junior is the only member of the Gracie family that teaches in the Chicagoland area. Being that he was the first to bring BJJ to the area, he has produced the most black belts, and many of the black belts now teaching in Chicago were under Junior's tutelage.
