BJJ in Palos Heights

Palos Heights is a southwest-suburban village with one local BJJ academy — **Arctic Training Center**, a **Carlson Gracie** affiliate. For south-side / southwest-suburban practitioners who want the Carlson Gracie lineage without driving into the city, this is one of the most convenient options. Oak Lawn (Crimson Guard) sits five to ten minutes east, Evergreen Park's Aries Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (also Carlson Gracie) is a similar drive northeast, and Tinley Park is the next significant stop south. The Carlson Gracie depth in this corridor is one of the underappreciated features of south-suburban Chicago BJJ.
