Find BJJ Near Me — Top Jiu-Jitsu Clubs & Gyms

Use the map and academy cards above to compare schools in your area — each listing shows real student ratings, class tags (Gi, No-Gi, Kids, Beginners) and, where available, a starting price. Open an academy's profile for its full schedule, coaches and reviews, then book a trial class to judge the culture in person. Not sure what a session involves yet?

No experience is necessary. Almost every school runs a beginners or fundamentals programme for people with zero grappling background, and pairs newcomers with training partners who know how to work safely with first-timers. New to the sport entirely? Start with what is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and what to expect in your first class.

Pricing varies by location, how many sessions a week you train, and whether the academy includes extras like open mat or Gi hire. Rather than quote a figure that quickly dates, we surface a starting "from" price on many academy cards above and link straight to each school's profile — open one to see its current membership options, and most offer a free trial before you commit.

Most academies teach both. Gi ("kimono") training uses the traditional uniform and allows grips on the jacket and trousers; No-Gi is trained in shorts and a rash guard with a faster, more scramble-heavy pace. Beginners usually start in the Gi, but there's no wrong answer — filter the academies above by the style you want. We break down the differences in Gi vs No-Gi BJJ.

A dedicated BJJ academy focuses entirely on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — both Gi and No-Gi — and usually has a more structured belt progression system. An MMA gym covers multiple disciplines (striking, wrestling, BJJ) and suits you if you want to train for cage fighting. Many BJJ black belts teach at MMA gyms, so quality grappling is available at both — check the class tags on each listing above to see what a gym offers.
