Uflacker Academy 6390 South Archer Avenue, Chicago, IL 60638

"My daughters have been coming for a little over a year. My youngest is 3, and loves coming to class! The professors are amazing, patient and the kids love it! The atmosphere is very welcoming!"

"I'm so glad I came to this gym. Professor Christian and Professor Marcos are great. The rest of the staff are always helpful too. But it's also the people that train here that make this gym so good. Jitsu is brutal but just about everyone here is down to earth and willing to help you learn and improve your game. It's a long journey for sure and it helps that there's so many people here to go against with plenty of varying styles. Highly recommend for anyone interested in truly learning Brazilian jiu jitsu."

"July 2024 will mark my two year anniversary with Uflacker Academy. Joining the Uflacker family has been one of best decisions of my life. Professor Christian and his staff are incredibly professional and patient with the students. The facilities are always clean, well kept, and organized. Classes are offered Mon-Sun at different times which allows you to easily integrate classes into your schedule. Most important, the culture in the academy is family oriented and you are guaranteed to develop life long friendships. I recommend Uflacker Academy to anyone who is looking to make noticeable improvements in their life physically, mentally, and spiritually!"

"I came here outta curiosity in July 2021, but little did I know back then that it would be one of the best decisions I ever made. I come here regularly, 3-4 times out of the week and the level of attention to detail from the coaches whether it's Coach Marcos, Coach Valentino, Coach Oscar, or Professor Christian is incredible. Beyond the staff, all of the students are welcoming from the casual practitioners to the more advanced students whether they're preparing to compete or just sharing the knowledge they've attained along their journey. My confidence has improved from spending time on the mats, in such a way that I know how to conduct myself and a situation, should it arise for self-defense purposes as well. After 2 1/2 years, I'd say it's been one of the best choices I've made thus far."

"After having trained at other Chicago BJJ schools, I can confidently say Uflacker Academy is the best of them. I’ve been coming here for over two years now, and I honestly wish I had started here sooner. The school is clean and professional. The program is consistent and very practical. The coaches are friendly and give plenty of one-on-one attention. Professor Uflacker is a legend and bursting with knowledge. The classes are always packed, meaning plenty of variety in your training partners. There’s lots of female students which is what most gyms lack. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn self defense, make great friends, and get a good workout while doing so."
