Redzovic Jiu-Jitsu

At Redzovic Jiu Jitsu Chicago, students train under the guidance of Professor Eddie Redzovic, a fourth-degree black belt with deep roots in the Gracie lineage. Eddie’s journey began in the late 1990s, traveling between Chicago, California, and Brazil to immerse himself in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He earned his blue belt from Royce Gracie and later became the first American representative for Carlos Gracie Jr. in the United States. The academy has grown steadily since those early days, holding to the Gracie tradition while developing a local approach that blends self-defense and sport. Classes here are organized around both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with a clear structure for adults and kids. For adults, the fundamentals program covers self-defense and basic techniques, while advanced students move into higher-level gi and no-gi classes, open mats, and competition training. The schedule also includes wrestling, striking, and MMA classes for those looking to round out their skills. Younger students have their own programs, starting as early as age 3 in the Pre-K group, then moving up through age-based gi and no-gi classes, as well as a competition class for kids who want to test themselves further. The team at Redzovic is made up of dedicated coaches and professors, many of whom have been with the academy for years. Classes are run with a focus on practical skill, respect, and steady improvement, whether students are there for fitness, self-defense, or competition. Drop-ins are welcome, and the academy’s doors are open to anyone who wants to learn BJJ in Chicago with experienced teachers and a structured path for growth.
