Our History

The idea for our dojo emerged in 2010: a calm, friendly space for high-quality Jiu-Jitsu instead of loud mass processing. After years of training in different gyms and a strong sense of togetherness during the pandemic, we opened BJJ Dojo Berlin in November 2021.

Today we’re a community that prioritizes respect, personal growth, and injury-free training.
