Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Private Lessons operates out of Living Art BJJ in Willowbrook, Illinois, under the guidance of Coach Ramses Bugarin. Ramses began his martial arts journey in Hapkido before dedicating himself fully to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2012. His approach to teaching emphasizes steady technical improvement and a deep understanding of BJJ’s principles, cultivated through years of both training and competition. The academy focuses on self-defense, fitness, and competition, aiming to equip students with practical skills and confidence. Classes at Living Art BJJ are structured to serve a diverse range of students. Adult BJJ classes welcome men, women, and advanced teens, providing training in traditional gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The curriculum progresses through fundamentals to more advanced techniques, with an emphasis on position, leverage, and timing rather than brute strength. For younger students, the academy offers age-appropriate classes starting as early as three years old, designed to build physical ability and mental acuity in a supportive setting. Separate levels accommodate kids as they advance, ensuring consistent development. In addition to BJJ, the academy includes adult striking classes, adding a complementary dimension to the grappling-focused training. The school maintains a clean, spacious facility and encourages drop-in participation. While based in Willowbrook, Living Art BJJ draws students from surrounding suburbs including Burr Ridge and Hinsdale. The instructors prioritize making the first steps into training accessible, with a focus on steady progress regardless of starting fitness or experience.
