Movimento BJJ & Fitness is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing school in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood, open since 2011. It is led by Israel "Izao" Reyes, a fourth-degree black belt with multiple IBJJF world and Pan American titles, and is part of the Brasa International family under Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros. The gym teaches gi and no-gi jiu-jitsu, a Muay Thai-style kickboxing program built around bag work, mitts and conditioning, and structured kids' and teens' classes that mix games, technique and live rolling. Training takes place on anti-microbial mats, with showers, changing facilities and nearby free parking. Visitors can try a class, and law enforcement members receive a discount.
