BJJ in Glenview

Glenview is a North Shore village just south of Northbrook, with one local academy — The Academy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a Carlson Gracie affiliate. For North Shore practitioners who want the dominant Chicago lineage without going downtown, this is one of the most direct options.

Glenview connects easily to Wilmette (also Carlson Gracie via Staley Martial Arts), Northbrook's two independents, Niles, and Park Ridge — all within a 10-minute drive. The cluster of Carlson Gracie rooms across this stretch of the North Shore is one of the more underrated features of suburban Chicagoland BJJ.
