I have been there ever since it opened and it has been a fun and safe training environment. I have also made many friends in Gracie Barra and I highly recommend this jujitsu school for anyone interested in starting jujitsu.

What our kids have been learning here:1. Respect for each other, siblings, elders, parents and teachers, JJ tradition2. How to stay active and excercise3. Self-defense and safety4. Working on long term goals through routine, determination and "non-quiting attitude"5. How to stay on schedule and be responsible6. Developing leadership skills, communication, having athlete friends who are brave to compete although it's intimidatingProfessor/coach team here is excellent, lead by example and mentorship!

Gracie Barra New Lenox has become the most uplifting part of my week. I came in for one class on a free trial with no intention of signing up. That was 6 months ago! I loved it so much I signed up immediately and since then I do my best to make it in for 2-3 classes a week. Professor Chris is awesome, very patient and an excellent teacher. The overall vibe of the class is so positive and welcoming - higher belts are quick to welcome new comers and work with them. Everyone is very encouraging of small progress made and I always leave class feeling motivated to come back. Love love love!

I came in with no experience in BJJ and knew after the first class that I was in. Everyone I met was easy to work with and focused on progression and not dominating the new guy. There are a good number of students of all ranks and ages for training partners. The classes seem to be activly growing with new students. Class times are varied for flexing with my availability. Prices seem comparable to other places.I'm in my 50's and have always have had an interest in martial arts. I have experience with other styles but wanted to round out my knowledge. The Professor and Coaches are approachable and give clear instruction. I'm excited to learn more!

I’m in my 50’s and just started BJJ here in New Lenox. I am instantly addicted. The students are great and help you to grow just as much as the professors do. Professor Chris is an amazing teacher. He’s patient and detailed. It’s a fabulous workout and great for personal confidence. Low impact on the body. I leave tired and never sore.

Gracie Barra is a fantastic martial arts school for beginners and seasoned participants. As a young man with a physical disability, I second guessed my abilities to participate in martial arts. The participants and instructors have been very supportive and provide a positive learning experience for everybody. I look forward to every class because I know that I am going to learn something new. I might not get the concept picture perfect, but the instructors and participants will always find a way to explain it to everybody. Patients is the key to learning a new martial art, and the atmosphere at Gracie Barra is patient while pushing everybody to achieve their best. If you still are unsure on joining, please call, ask to watch a class, and talk to the participants after. You will also find new friends, and community at Gracie Barra

Excellent school for those new to martial arts, as well as for those looking to advance their current skills to the next level. The GB training regimen is great not only for learning the art of BJJ but also for getting into and maintaining physical fitness. You will come to train and love it, and you will stay for the camaraderie. The other students (Adult & Teen/Kids) are supportive and want only for their teammates to improve. I've been to grappling schools where newer athletes are thrown into a meat grinder program, where "only the strong survive," and injuries are commonplace to the point of being expected. GB New Lenox is not that type of school. GB New Lenox is an environment wherein you are encouraged to train with the intensity that is best for you, they are able to balance rigorous training with safety because of the high-quality Professor and Coach who oversee the program.
