Gracie Barra Des Plaines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense

Super excited to finally announce the opening and schedule of our Park Ridge Location!!

It's been a long and lengthy process but we made it and I'm grateful for all of your support and patience through all of this. It wasn't easy. Many hoops to jump through from dealing with the village, contractors, construction, inspections and shady people!

So, mark those calendars and be ready for our first set of classes on Nov 6! Followed by some pizza and refreshments!

Let's spread the word! Let's start our founding members promotion for all the early birds looking to register and take advantage of the promotion!

Hope to see you all there!!

Special Congrats goes out to our Competitors! We had a Team of 7 go out and battle today at the Grappling Industries and we're able to come out with some great wins and a few Medals as well!!

The Team took 2nd Place Overall as a Team, and I couldn't be more proud!

Milana once again never ceases to amaze. Fighting 9 total matches and adding 5 more wins and 3 more submissions to her list. 2 loses on points and 2 on referees decision on 0-0 score! Best part is seeing her avenge her previous losses.

Congrats to Raul and Mark, wasnt their night, but entering the Blue belt and purple belt divisions brand new, was a great learning experience The Division isn't going anywhere and neither are they. Looking for big things from these guys. Congrats to Elmer on his great wins in the GI and had some tough No-Gi matches including a Teammate, but coming out better!

Congrats to Coach Jason on his Bronze Medal, going 1-1 with a great armbar setup and finish...then bowing out due to a Foot injury for later matches!

Lastly, Big shot out to Brian and Kyle Hannusch going Undefeated for their Gold Medals!
Kyle going 2-0...both wins by submission and Brian winning Double Gold, going 3-0 in the GI and 3-0 No-Gi. 4 wins by submission!
