B1 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense Naperville

My teen daughter and I were very happy with our first class. Bruce and staff were very professional and knowledgeable in their direction to the class. We are both looking forward to our next class. Thank You B1 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defense!

Have been training at B1 for a couple years now after having started my bjj journey elsewhere and seen a few gyms around the world throughout the years. Hands down this is the best atmosphere you could start training in. The gym is modern, impeccably clean and it's a tight knit group. There's no macho nonsense, the lineage speaks for itself and Professor Bruce takes an interest in each and every student. There's a strong cohort of weekend competitors, but no pressure to do so. But if you do want to grow and test yourself personally or in competition gym friends will rally to help you along. Bruce has a long track record of competition that informs his grappling world view, but he keeps it real in the event we have to take care of ourselves out there too. If there was a single aspect of this gym that sets it apart, it is as a great place for kids to start from zero.

We have been members for over year now and our kids (4/6) have learned and grown so much! Not just physically but mentally — I am so thankful for professor Bruce and coach Eric — they are so good with the kids and not only teach them how to do jujitsu but also build their confidence! This is the best place and we have met so many amazing people too! You won’t be disappointed

I’ve been training at B1 for some time now and it has always been a great time. When I started my first class professor Bruce was very welcoming and made sure i was enjoying myself. Gym culture is essential for things like BJJ and this is one of the best cultures I’ve ever been in. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly, I’ve made some great friends since coming to B1. Additionally, coach Eric and prof. Bruce have helped me immensely with my training for competitions and I’ve been able to place 1st with their help. If you’re looking for a good place to train and better yourself as well as make new friends this is the best place to train in the area!

I recently joined B1 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I am blown away by the quality of instruction and the welcoming atmosphere. The coaches are all highly skilled and really take the time to make sure each student understands the techniques being taught. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the class sizes are small enough to allow for individualized attention. I highly recommend B1 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner. The positive energy and support from the entire B1 community is truly unparalleled.

We commute from Yorkville (30 mins away) to train here passing several other Jiu-Jitsu academies along the way. Professor Bruce, the coaches and members/families are next level.Our boys started at ages 3 & 7. Shortly after I knew I needed to step it up as a father and get out there on the mats.Fast forward 2 years later and there’s no turning back. My wife started the ladies only self defense classes on Sundays and a few months later decided to go all in and join the regular classes as well. Jiu-Jitsu has made our family stronger in many ways.Thank you Professor Bruce for the life changing community you have built.
