BJJ in Lombard

Lombard punches above its size for a DuPage County suburb — three academies covering distinctly different lineages. 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Lombard is the suburban no-gi / Eddie Bravo outpost, All Star Jiu Jitsu carries Gracie Barra under the Redzovic-family network out of Chicago, and Santiago Training Center runs as an independent.

Lombard sits along I-355 and I-88, putting it roughly 25 minutes west of the Loop and within 15-20 minutes of Naperville, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, and Bloomingdale. For commuters who want both gi and no-gi options without driving into Chicago, the Lombard cluster is one of the most efficient stops in the western suburbs.
