We make it easy to find a Brazilian jiu-jitsu academy near you — and to know how to pick a good one.
BJJ Gyms is a national directory built for one thing: helping people find a Brazilian jiu-jitsu gym near them and actually start training. We cover all 50 states and the top 100 U.S. cities with practical, plain-language guidance on choosing the right academy.
For no-gi grappling, we feature 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu as our recommended system. Founded by Eddie Bravo, 10th Planet is one of the largest grappling affiliations in the world, with 100+ academies nationwide and a no-gi game built for MMA crossover. When you ask us where to start for no-gi, that's the answer.
We are an independent directory and referral service. We are not a gym, and a listing here is informational, not an endorsement of any individual academy. We're transparent about our recommendation: 10th Planet is our featured no-gi pick. Always take a free trial class and vet a gym yourself before committing.
