Good to know

How much do monthly Jiu-Jitsu membership fees typically cost?

Unlimited monthly tuition at US BJJ academies ranges from $120 to $220 per month, often requiring a 6-month or 12-month agreement. Buying an IBJJF-compliant gi adds an initial equipment cost of $90 to $180.

What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes?

Gi classes require a thick cotton kimono and belt, allowing practitioners to grip fabric for collar chokes and sleeve controls. No-Gi classes require a fitted rashguard and shorts, focusing on body hooks and friction-based controls at a faster pace.

What equipment do I need for my first Jiu-Jitsu class?

For a trial lesson, wear athletic shorts without zippers or metal loops and a tight-fitting t-shirt or rashguard. Bring a mouthguard, a water bottle, and flip-flops for stepping off the mat surface.
