About
A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy built for Loves Park. Beginner-friendly, family-friendly, serious about training.
Where Jiu-Jitsu Thrives. Community Grows Daily.
Loris Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grappling, Muay Thai, and kids martial arts academy in Loves Park, Illinois. Training here is about technical development, practical self-defense, fitness, and confidence — for children as young as three and for adults stepping onto a mat for the first time. The gym is built around a supportive environment where members train consistently, look out for each other, and improve together.
Ryan Eggert
Loris Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is owned and led by Ryan Eggert, an Rdojo Associated Instructor with over fifteen years of Jiu-Jitsu experience. His coaching shapes every class on the schedule, from three-year-olds taking their first class to adults training for competition.
Real Members
Members here range from young children to adults, and the room reflects that — families training together, beginners learning alongside experienced students, and a coaching approach that makes new people feel welcome from their first class.
Proven Coaching
Fifteen-plus years of Jiu-Jitsu experience shape how classes are taught: fundamentals first, positional control, practical self-defense, and steady progression at a pace that fits each student.
