Brazil-021 Arlington Heights ,IL

Brazil-021 Arlington Heights is part of the Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu network, founded by world-class black belts Andre "Negão" Terencio and Hannette Staack. The school was created with a vision of not only training champions but helping members become good citizens and family members. Brazil-021 is not reserved solely for the "tough" and powerful, but rather for all men, women, children, and people who are unsure of their abilities.

The academy's philosophy emphasizes that character development is a key component of the martial arts journey. Rather than the "transactional" model where technical knowledge is simply traded for tuition, Brazil-021 believes every student's journey should be a commitment towards improving not just their Jiu-Jitsu, but their quality of life and that of those around them. Safety is paramount, with all students expected to contribute to creating a safe, fun, and healthy training environment, using Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense only.

Brazil-021 Arlington Heights provides a family-friendly environment where Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is accessible to anybody who is interested. The team emphasizes family values between members to develop trust and genuine camaraderie. With world-class instruction and personalized attention, students of all ages can succeed in a supportive community dedicated to becoming stronger together, on and off the mats.
