The BJJ Scene in Tokyo

Tokyo is part of jiu-jitsu's backstory: Mitsuyo Maeda, the judoka who taught Carlos Gracie in Brazil, came out of the city's Kodokan. These days the gyms are spread around the wards rather than gathered in one district. Shibuya, Minato and Setagaya have the most, with Ota, Toshima, Nerima and Suginami next, and we've pulled in the cities of western Tokyo as well, such as Tachikawa, Musashino and Machida.

Two teams keep turning up. Carpe Diem has branches in Aoyama, Shibuya and Jiyugaoka, plus Tachikawa out west, among others. Tri-Force has academies in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Gotanda, Kamata and beyond. A branch is usually named after the nearest station or neighborhood, so make sure you're messaging the right one. Checkmat and Royce Gracie are around as well. When it comes to Google reviews, Arta BJJ Hiroo, Yawara Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Shibuya and Tri-Force Higashinakano come out ahead.

Finding the door can take a little work. Many gyms are on an upper floor or down in the basement of a small commercial building, so note the floor number in the address. Some go only by a Japanese name, and then the map is often the quickest way to tell them apart.
