This directory lists martial arts academies specializing specifically in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) rather than mixed striking disciplines. These facilities focus exclusively on ground grappling, leverage-based submissions, and positional control in both Gi and No-Gi formats. Before contacting a school, verify whether their schedule aligns with beginner fundamental blocks and if they supply loaner gear for trial classes.

Good to know
How much do monthly Jiu-Jitsu membership fees cost?
Unlimited BJJ memberships in the US average $140 to $230 per month depending on location and instructor rank. Expect an additional upfront cost of $90 to $160 for an academy-approved Gi or $60 to $100 for a No-Gi rashguard set.
Do I need prior martial arts experience or advanced fitness to start?
No prior experience or elite athletic conditioning is required to begin training. Most BJJ schools offer structured 8- to 12-week fundamental programs that teach basic breakfalls, escapes, and positional hierarchy at a controlled pace.
What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes?
Gi training uses a traditional heavy jacket and pants, allowing fabric grips that slow the pace and emphasize technical leverage. No-Gi training relies on body friction, wrist control, and neck hooks, resulting in a faster-paced session closer to wrestling.
