BJJ in St. Charles

St. Charles is a Fox Valley city in Kane County, with one local BJJ academy — The Grappler Academy, an independent operation focused (as the name suggests) on the grappling-only end of the spectrum.

The Fox River suburbs cluster nicely here: Geneva is immediately south, North Aurora is a short drive further down the river, and Aurora's two academies sit at the southern end of the corridor. For practitioners who want a Gracie Barra room or 10th Planet, the Lombard cluster is about 25 minutes east.
