"What a gem!! This school is so welcoming and the jiu jitsu is very practical yet interesting. I have travelled a lot and been to many schools and it’s rare to find a culture like CU has. Coach Mike and everyone here has been so kind to me even knowing I am a visitor."

Why People Choose CU Jiu-Jitsu

"It's more than a gym, its a community"

CU Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a family based martial arts academy serving the areas of Champaign - Urbana, IL.

 

We are a beginner friendly gym with age appropriate classes for Youth Martial Arts & Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Members also have access to a full fitness gym as a bonus to help your personal progress.

 

​Great for fitness, functional self-defense, and competition, our instructors provide unparalleled training for all skill levels, but most importantly it's about creating an environment where people can find their people, and experience friendships and social exchanges that often extend well beyond the mats.
