Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is more than self-defense — it's a way of life. At Southside Jiu Jitsu Club Chicago, we believe in the power of Jiu Jitsu to build stronger, safer, and more connected communities. Founded by Black Belt Solomon Dixon — trained under the legendary Adem Redzovic — Southside is where Chicago's grapplers come to grow, compete, and transform both on and off the mat. Now, your entire Southside journey lives in one powerful app.
Know exactly where you stand and what it takes to level up. The Southside Jiu Jitsu Club app gives you full visibility into your belt progression and curriculum — from your first class as a white belt to the milestones that mark your path forward. Whether you're training in All Levels BJJ or developing the next generation in Youth BJJ, the app keeps your goals front and center so you stay focused on the work that moves you forward.
Consistency is everything in Jiu Jitsu. The mat rewards those who show up. Use the app to schedule your training sessions, track your attendance history, and stay accountable to your practice. Every class logged is a step closer to the next stripe, the next belt, the next version of yourself. The Southside app helps you build the discipline and habits that define a true martial artist.
Training as a family? We've got you covered. Manage all your family memberships, track your kids' progress in Youth BJJ, and keep everyone on the mat and on schedule — all from a single account. Southside is a community built for all ages and skill levels, and the app makes it easier than ever for the whole family to be part of it.
Stay connected to the Southside community between classes. Receive announcements, updates, and messages directly from the school so you never miss a seminar, schedule change, or important moment. Download the Southside Jiu Jitsu Club app today and bring the same mindset that conquers challenges on the mat to everything you do off it.
