History
Chicago is in our name because it means something to us and because we honor it. We [Nick Cimmarusti (BJJ black belt), Nick Mitria (brown belt) and John Le (purple belt)] all have strong ties to Chicago and started training together in the area. Like Johnny Appleseed we wanted to go around spreading the value of Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Not only did we discover that there was a need for BJJ in the area, but we also wanted to teach differently. We wanted to make strategies specifically designed for our students. We wanted women and children to feel welcomed and we wanted to provide a suite of classes that not only make our students fit, but allow them to learn and to have fun.
Specialties
We teach classes to offer our students a variety of classes so that they can learn. Specifically, we offer the following: -Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi and no-gi to help you learn grappling movement and strategy) -Muay Thai kickboxing (technique and refinement to help you learn how to strike) -JitFit (interval training with Jiu-Jitsu based workouts and NO contact or sparring to help improve cardio and fitness)
