Double Five Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, opened in 2012 by Andre "Maneco" Leite, a fifth-degree black belt in the Carlson Gracie lineage. The school runs a sizable kids' program for ages 4 to 14 with a team culture and competition preparation, alongside all-levels adult classes where most students train for fitness and self-defense rather than competition. Beginners are welcome with no prior experience or gear, and private lessons are available. Gi and no-gi training and open mats round out the offering. The academy is registered with the IBJJF, and its team has taken home medals and team placements at Grappling Industries events in Chicago.
