This directory section lists academies offering focused Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) instruction in ground fighting, joint locks, and chokeholds. These locations emphasize pure grappling, featuring both traditional Gi and modern No-Gi classes without requiring striking practice. Before attending your first session, verify whether the school provides loaner gis or allows standard rash guards for trial classes.

Good to know
How much do monthly memberships cost at dedicated BJJ schools?
Unlimited monthly training typically costs between $120 and $230 per month depending on the region and head instructor rank. Single drop-in fees usually range from $20 to $35 per class.
What is the primary difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu?
Gi training requires a heavy cotton kimono and belt where gripping fabric is central to submissions and throws. No-Gi uses rash guards and board shorts, relying on body hooks and friction, which creates a faster-paced grappling environment.
How long does it take to earn a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Earning a BJJ black belt requires an average of 8 to 12 years of regular training 3 to 4 days per week. Students progress through white, blue, purple, and brown belt ranks based on skill, sparring performance, and time on the mat.
