Christopher Lund has been involved in the Martial Arts for over 30 years. He began training Jeet Kune Do Concepts in 1990 and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1992. Christopher is among the first generation of Americans to study the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, beginning his formal training at the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Honolulu with Relson Gracie. His credentials are steeped in a rich training lineage, having earned teaching certifications from the legendary Guro Dan Inosanto and his fourth degree BJJ Black Belt from world-renowned Team Nova Uniao. He was awarded his Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt from Nova Uniao Hawaii founder, Renato “Charuto” Verissimo in 2009 and teaching certifications in Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Kali from both Burton Richardson and Bruce Lee’s protege, the legendary Guro Dan Inosanto. 

Christopher Lund has been teaching Martial Arts full-time since 2001 and is one of the most experienced Jiu-Jitsu teachers in the area. He is honored to have introduced the art of Jiu-Jitsu to the far north suburbs, opening Lake County’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy in March of 2003. For over two decades, Christopher has parlayed his passion for the Martial Arts to a passion for helping others through teaching and mentoring. His highly structured classes accommodate all levels with a methodical teaching style showing both the how and why of every technique. Christopher’s signature lesson is that when trained correctly, Jiu-Jitsu is an art for a lifetime.
