HISTORY AT BRAZIL 021 CHICAGO
The Brazil-021 School of Jiu-Jitsu was founded by Jiu-Jitsu black belts Andre “Negão” Terencio and Hannette Staack. Indeed, from its very beginning, the school had a clear vision. This vision aimed not only to unify its staff. It also sought to create a solid team. Furthermore, its mission extends beyond training champions. It also strives to help members become good citizens. They also become responsible family members.
Importantly, Brazil-021 is not just for the “tough” and powerful. On the contrary, it is a place designed for all. This includes men, women, and children. It even includes those uncertain about their abilities.
Regarding its identity, the name and logo draw inspiration from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Specifically, “021” is Rio’s telephone area code. This city was Jiu-Jitsu’s initial strongest development hub. However, Jiu-Jitsu has since expanded globally. Consequently, the academy adopted an English name: BRAZIL-021 SCHOOL OF JIU-JITSU.
Currently, the team includes schools in Brazil, the United States, and Canada. This network further reinforces its international presence. It also highlights its commitment to spreading Jiu-Jitsu worldwide.

THE BRAZIL-021 Chicago PHILOSOPHY
Brazil-021 Jiu-Jitsu has a clearly defined philosophy. This philosophy consistently drives instruction. It also shapes the learning environment. Many schools focus only on technique. Brazil-021 believes character development is essential. It’s a key part of one’s martial arts journey. We reject the “transactional” model of martial arts schools. They simply trade technical knowledge for tuition. We strongly believe each student’s journey is a commitment. This commitment improves Jiu-Jitsu skills. It also enhances their quality of life. Students should positively impact those around them. Our goal is to provide attentive, personalized instruction. This keeps Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu accessible. It also makes it transformative for all skill levels.
Safety and Self-Defense
We believe safety is paramount. This is true for all Jiu-Jitsu goals. We emphasize teaching Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense only. We expect all students to contribute actively. They help create a safe, fun, healthy training environment. They should never use Jiu-Jitsu to cause harm. This applies under any circumstances.
Family-Friendly and Family-First
We firmly believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone. We strive to make it always accessible to anyone interested. Our academy dedicates itself to a family-friendly environment. Students of all ages feel welcome and supported here. We prioritize family values. Trust and mutual respect build a strong community. We encourage camaraderie among team members. Ultimately, everyone benefits from a positive, inclusive atmosphere.
