The Best BJJ Gyms in Warsaw

Warsaw's two metro lines make a handy map of its jiu-jitsu. The M1 runs north from Ursynów through Mokotów, the district with the most gyms, to the center and on to Bielany. The M2 links Bemowo and Wola in the west with Praga on the far side of the Vistula. The two lines meet in Śródmieście, which has a few gyms of its own and makes the easiest base if you're visiting. Between them, they run through most of the districts with gyms, but check how far a given gym is from the station before you plan your week around it.

Beyond the city limits, Piaseczno, just south of Ursynów, has a small cluster, and the page also reaches Pruszków and Grodzisk Mazowiecki to the west and Ząbki and Józefów on the east side of the river.

Copacabana has several clubs, in Mokotów, Ursynów and out in Pruszków, and its Garażowa Street club in Mokotów heads the Google reviews for the whole page. Aligatores Fight Club and Academia Gorila, both in Śródmieście, come next.
