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.
How to lose body fat percentage?
Reducing body fat percentage involves maintaining a moderate energy deficit while engaging in strength training and high-calorie combat sports. Regular practice in disciplines like MMA or Muay Thai builds lean tissue while driving down overall body fat. Users in New York can browse 20 verified martial arts academies offering structured weight management programs.
How to drain fluid from ear?
Draining fluid from an ear—often caused by trauma such as cauliflower ear in grappling—requires sterile medical aspiration using a syringe followed by a compression wrap. Performing this procedure at home without medical expertise carries a severe risk of infection and permanent cartilage deformity. Practicing martial artists in New York should consult qualified medical professionals or ask coaches at one of the 20 listed local academies for proper sports health protocols.
