The BJJ Scene in San José
San José's jiu-jitsu leans west. Escazú and Santa Ana, where many of the city's expats live, have more gyms than anywhere else on this page, and Pozos and Lindora add a few more. The east side has its own cluster around San Pedro, near the University of Costa Rica, and in Curridabat and Barrio Escalante. Desamparados covers the south, and Tibás and La Uruca the north. Heredia, Alajuela and Cartago have pages of their own.
Alliance has two academies, one in Escazú and one in Barrio Escalante. Gracie Barra is also in Escazú, and Renzo Gracie is out east in La Unión. Athletic Advance in San Pedro has the most Google reviews in the area, ahead of two Santa Ana gyms, Santa Ana BJJ and Kuntur Jiu Jitsu.
The Central Valley's traffic jams, the presas, are famous for a reason. Crossing from Escazú to San Pedro at rush hour can take as long as the class itself, so choose by where you live or work, not by the map.
