How Much Does Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) cost in 2023? | BJJ Success

preview

Skip to contentA colleague recently asked me how much it costs to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and it got me thinking about all the necessary and optional fees and equipment you’ll need to pay for when starting.The basic costs associated with BJJ are gym fees, gi and/or no-gi clothing, and a mouthguard.&nbsp;In the USA, BJJ costs approximately $160 per month for unlimited jiu jitsu classes, $65 – $130 for a gi, and $20 for a basic mouthguard.Elsewhere around the world, you can expect to pay the following amounts to start BJJ:Once you pay for these basics there are other optional gear and expenses associated with BJJ, including competition fees, instructionals and post-training soaps. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to pay for each in the USA, Australia and the UK.Jiu jitsu gym fees can vary depending on the location of the gym, its facilities, and any other extras it offers e.g MMA, kickboxing or yoga classes. Unfortunately, many BJJ gyms aren’t upfront with their prices on their websites until you call or go in.Most gyms will charge their gym fees fortnightly or monthly, and for adults, the fees will usually include unlimited classes. In these situations, the more you train, the cheaper each class becomes. Some gyms will also discount the monthly fee if you agree to a 12 month contract.For example, my gym in Australia costs approximately $180 AUD each month for unlimited BJJ and wrestling classes. If I train a minimum of three times per week this equates to approximately $15 per lesson, but if I use the gym even one other time per week this brings the cost down below $12 per lesson.The below averages are taken from a sample of gyms in each respective country:In addition to regular training fees, some gyms will also charge other one-off or annual fees including:You’ll eventually need to purchase the proper clothing for BJJ classes so you can train comfortably and efficiently.Most BJJ gyms train in the gi, which is basically a heavy cotton jacket, trousers and belt. Some gyms like the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu schools pioneered by Eddie Bravo train exclusively in no gi attire, which is basically a rashguard very similar to what surfers wear, plus no gi shorts.Gis can vary in price depending on the materials used, the brand and the type of gi e.g regular or competition style. Even budget gis made by a reputable brand will last a while, so check out user reviews and don’t be afraid to buy a cheaper gi when you’re starting out to save your money. If you enjoy BJJ you can always upgrade later. We’ve also got a guide to the best BJJ gis for beginners, competitors and those looking for premium gis if you’re lost.Below is a summary of what you can expect to pay for budget and more expensive gis in each location.&nbsp;As mentioned above, no gi attire is simply a rashguard and board shorts with optional spats (leggings), although some even train in a t-shirt and sports shorts at first.&nbsp;Many gyms will require students to wear an official gym rashguard showing their rank, and might even have official boardshorts. Regardless, no gi BJJ clothing can be cheaper than gis and costs on average:The only other piece of gear which is a necessary for BJJ is a mouthguard. I chipped my teeth twice in my first two years of BJJ, and a training partner did the same.&nbsp;Mouthguards can be obtained from sports stores, mouthguard professionals or dentists, and can range in price depending on whether it’s a one-size-fits-all “boil and bite” model or a fully custom mouthguard.&nbsp;Here’s what you can expect to pay:These are the primary costs of BJJ, but there are some extra costs to be aware of depending on how far you want to go.Jiu jitsu competitions usually charge entry fees, with early bird discounts for those entering several weeks or months before the competition. Most jiu jitsu competitions will cost approximately $80 – $150 USD/AUD to enter. Some competitions will charge extra fees for entry into open/absolute divisions and for competing in both gi and no gi divisions.Some competitions like Grappling Industries will also give free entry to black and brown belts to encourage signups.There are other optional costs associated with BJJ, including:Did we miss any costs, or do you have any money-saving ideas for learning jiu jitsu?

ThanksThank you for the informative article. I am a Japanese Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast.Japanese Jiu-Jitsu gyms cost approximately 9,000 yen (around $68) to 13,000 yen (around $97). Famous gyms in Tokyo are about 17,500 yen (around $130). This covers participation in all classes.Many gyms have a membership fee of 10,000 yen (around $75), but they often run campaigns that effectively make the fee free.I’m Marc, the guy behind BJJ Success.
