Molinaro Jiu Jitsu

Prof. Alex and Prof. Mike are two of the nicest and welcoming black belts I’ve met. I had the pleasure of dropping in for a couple of days while visiting my brother who trains there. They took me in with open arms, shared their knowledge and at the end it was like I knew them for years. This academy is the place to train at if you’re interested in Jiu-Jitsu. They offer classes for all individuals, Morning, afternoon and evening. As well as a great kids program. If you are looking to begin your journey look no further Molinaro is where to go.

I've been a member for 8 months. This gym is really fantastic. Coaches Alex and Mike are great athletes themselves but also great teachers, and they teach a curriculum that's far more advanced and effective than what I've found at other gyms. The team ranges from serious competitors to more casual players and there are lots of great training partners to roll with who'll help you level up your game

We’ve had an amazing experience with Molinaro Jiu-Jitsu. My son started when he was just 3 years old, and now he’s about to turn 5. We are so happy we found this place. The coaches are incredibly patient, kind, and truly great with kids. They know how to keep the classes fun, engaging, and age-appropriate while still teaching discipline, confidence, and important jiu jitsu fundamentals. The environment is very welcoming and positive. We highly recommend it!

I recently joined this team, and they welcomed me very warmly. The team is very friendly, fun, and strong! The best jiu-jitsu gym in Chicago! I recommend it to everyone.

By far the best Jiu-Jitsu academy in Chicago. The level of instruction, the training environment, and the team culture are exceptional. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, this academy offers the right balance of high-level training, structure, and a welcoming atmosphere. Truly a place where everyone can grow and feel part of a strong team. 😊
