Vianna Brothers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Not managed on Matador yetJiu Jitsu
A Chicago jiu jitsu academy serving the Bucktown, Wicker Park and Logan Square neighborhoods, led by black belt Daniel Vianna, who trained under Carlson Gracie Jr. and Marcelo Alonso. The school teaches both gi and no-gi Brazilian jiu jitsu to adults, alongside a structured kids program split by age and level. Beginners of any background are welcome, and a free first week lets newcomers try the training before committing. The academy promotes its own black belts, is registered with the IBJJF, and keeps friendly ties with affiliated schools run by trusted instructors. Open mats run on weekends, and a regular queer and trans open mat adds to an inclusive community. Gis are available at the academy, and there are no contracts or promotion fees.
