I had zero combat experience before joining, and after just three months here my confidence has skyrocketed. The training is humbling and unlike anything else, and the atmosphere is super welcoming. The gym is clean, and the upper belts are always helping out the newer guys. The gym is incredibly supportive of each other. Professor Eddie Redzovic leads an incredible team of instructors including Rob, Hamza, Sandino, Magomet, and Abdulmelik. Whether it’s jiu jitsu, wrestling, striking, or Muay Thai, every class pushes you to grow. The hardest belt to get is the white belt and once you get started you won’t want to stop.
I started coming here back in June of 2025, and I couldn’t have asked for a better gym. Little did I know I’d walk in as a trainee, but leave as a FAMILY member. That’s exactly what this place feels like, a second FAMILY. Every single person in this gym is super down to earth and willing to help you out. And don’t even get me started on the staff now, they are so brilliant. Thanks to this gym, I finally feel confident in ALL my athletic abilities. Again, I walked in here like a shy little mouse, but leave feeling like a lion. I LOVE THIS GYM!!!
I've been training at Team Redzovic Jiu Jitsu for a few years now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly welcoming and patient with students of all levels. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you'll find the classes both challenging and rewarding. The facility is clean, well-organized, and has a strong sense of community. Everyone, from the coaches to the students fosters a respectful and supportive atmosphere. Professor Eddie, Jim, Rob & Greg put real care into teaching not just technique, but also discipline, respect, and perseverance. If you're in the Chicago area and looking for a place to train, grow, and connect with great people, I highly recommend checking out Redzovic Jiu Jitsu.
I’ve been going to Redzovic Jiu Jitsu for about two months now, and it’s been an awesome experience. I’ve tried all the classes — jiu jitsu, wrestling, and striking — and each one has taught me something new. The coaches really care about helping you improve and always bring great energy to every session. Hamza, Sandino, Magomet, and Coach Rob have all been amazing to learn from. You can tell they’re truly passionate about what they do and about their students’ progress. The atmosphere here is super friendly and motivating — it really feels like a community. I’m grateful to have found this place and definitely recommend it to anyone looking to train and grow.
We absolutely love our experience at redzovic BJJ The coaches are incredible—patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each child’s progress. They take the time to give individual attention, helping kids build confidence while developing strong technique. It’s a great balance of discipline, fun, and skill-building, and we’ve seen so much growth in both our kids since they started. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it really feels like a supportive community. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch BJJ program!
