Fantastic gym to train bjj! Wonderful people and an awesome Professor!!
Awesome place to learn jiu jitsu. No egos here at this school. Just a great bunch of people who love jiu jitsu.
Prof. Barry is an inspiration. Training with him
over the years, I’ve learned that you never ever have to stop growing. He demonstrates this every time he steps on the mats. Don’t miss out on training with Prof Barry!
As a 4-stripe purple belt, I've dropped in a few times. Barry is a very knowledgeable Bjj professor. He provides little details specific to my body type that really elevated my game. He has a great dedicated crew of students varying from white belts all the way on up to a few recently promoted black belts. Whether you're brand new to Bjj or looking to change gyms, I highly recommend Barry at Northbrook Jiu Jitsu.
Great place to train. Multiple black belts professors present to always coach and help out. Classmates are always respectful and happy to help out the newcomers. They also started kids program few months ago and now all of my three kids are training. Come and give it a try, you won't regret it.
Professor Barry is one of the most knowledgeable and friendliest people in the Chicago jiujitsu community. He runs an excellent program, his students are wonderful people, and he fosters a culture that is welcoming, open-minded and growth-oriented. Highly recommended.
Great school. Doesn’t get better than Professor Barry.
Love it here! Great school, great instruction, great people!
One of the most amazing places to express one's euphoria for BJJ
