1311 Butterfield Rd #310, Downers Grove, IL
Team Kuma Jiu Jitsu Academy in Downers Grove is built around Professor Amir, an active IBJJF competitor and black belt under Mark Vives of Tac Team Midwest. The staff also includes first-degree black belt Jim Fritz, who has trained for more than 17 years, giving students regular access to multiple senior instructors. The academy competes under Tac Team Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and is affiliated with New Breed Training Center. Its current program includes gi jiu jitsu, fundamentals, wrestling and open mat, with visitor drop-ins available. Wrestling provides an important complement for students who want to start exchanges from the feet rather than treating takedowns as an afterthought. For grapplers in Downers Grove and Chicago’s western suburbs, Team Kuma is particularly relevant if they want an academy led by a black belt who remains active on the competition circuit. The school’s Tac Team/New Breed connection and deeper coaching bench give it a clear identity within the local BJJ scene.
