Luis Meza

Professor Luis Meza holds a BJJ Black Belt under the Ralph Gracie lineage and has been a cornerstone of the Chicago MMA coaching staff for years.

Luis is known for his technical precision and his ability to adapt his teaching style to students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether working with a brand-new white belt or an advanced competitor, he has a knack for identifying the most important detail that will unlock progress.

His classes emphasize clean technique, positional awareness, and the kind of systematic drilling that builds reliable skills under pressure. Professor Meza is also deeply committed to the community aspect of BJJ — he believes the relationships built on the mat are just as important as the techniques learned there.
