Welcome to Blackhorse Jiu-Jitsu

Welcome and thank you for visiting Blackhorse Jiu-Jitsu.

     We are an Army OIF veteran owned and operated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school located in Downers Grove, IL. My family and I would love the chance to introduce you to the wonderful martial art commonly referred to as BJJ. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for the study of what can be an extremely challenging martial art to learn, but one which the benefits are truly life-changing. Our curriculum focuses on both the self-defense as well as the sport aspects of BJJ. We offer classes for children as young as 4 and create an environment where practitioners of all ages can train safely.

     We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not just a martial art, but a way of life that promotes discipline, focus, confidence, and physical fitness. Our team of experienced and dedicated instructors are passionate about sharing their knowledge and helping students reach their full potential on and off the mats.
