Living Art Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Living Art Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Willowbrook is guided by Coach Ramses Bugarin, who has been immersed in martial arts since his early days training Hapkido before dedicating himself fully to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2012. Ramses’ background combines a deep appreciation for grappling with a patient, technique-focused approach, reflecting his own journey from a friend’s basement mat to running a full academy. The school’s mission centers on making BJJ accessible to all ages and abilities, emphasizing the art’s practical applications for self-defense, fitness, and competition. Students at Living Art BJJ engage in traditional gi classes that follow a classic structure: warm-ups tailored to Jiu Jitsu, technique instruction, positional drilling, and live sparring. The curriculum spans from beginner fundamentals to more advanced concepts, with separate classes for adults as well as children starting as young as three years old. The kids’ program is designed to build physical and mental skills appropriate for their developmental stages, highlighting problem-solving through movement. Adult students include a mix of working professionals, competitive athletes, and those training for general health and confidence. Beyond Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the academy also offers striking classes for adults, integrating stand-up martial arts training into their schedule. This addition rounds out the curriculum, providing a broader martial arts experience while maintaining BJJ as the core discipline. Living Art BJJ welcomes drop-ins and draws practitioners from surrounding suburbs, maintaining a clean, spacious facility that supports focused training.
