Uflacker Academy is located on the southside of Chicago. I have been to several other bjj/mma gyms in the Chicagoland areaand nothing compares to the level of instruction you get from Christian Uflacker (Carlos Gracie Jr. Black Belt). On top of having top honors in the best bjj/mma competitions, the gym is filled with solid guys (no meatheads). Certainly won't be going anywhere else for bjj as long as I am in Chicago.
