226 S Wabash, Fl 3, Chicago, IL
Downtown Jiu Jitsu Club in Chicago is led by Adem Redzovic, a fourth-degree black belt under Gracie-family red belt Carley Gracie. Redzovic is known for a conceptual teaching style and has spent years teaching seminars, coaching students and developing a school in the Loop rather than building a large suburban franchise network. The current program includes gi and no-gi jiu jitsu, fundamentals and women’s training, with drop-ins marked as welcome. Redzovic’s lineage is unusually direct: his academy traces his rank through Carley Gracie, one of the family members who helped bring jiu jitsu to the United States well before the modern BJJ boom. For students who work or live in central Chicago, Downtown Jiu Jitsu Club combines an unusually convenient Loop location with senior Gracie-lineage instruction. The strongest reason to compare the school is not simply that it offers BJJ downtown; it is the chance to train under a fourth-degree professor with a direct relationship to an older branch of the Gracie family.
