Academy owner FAQ

Listing your gym, answered

How do I list my jiu jitsu academy?
Fill out the form on this page with your academy name, city, and website. We verify the details from public sources and build your profile — usually within a few days. A basic verified listing is free.
Is listing my BJJ gym free?
Yes. A verified listing on your state and city pages, including a backlink to your website, is completely free. Featured placement and advertising are optional and kept separate from rankings.
How do I claim an academy that's already listed?
Use the same form and enter your academy name — we'll match it to the existing profile and give you control to keep your schedule, styles, photos, and contact details current.
How does my gym get on the "Top BJJ Gyms in [City]" guide?
Those guides are editorial — based on coaching pedigree, competition results, facilities, beginner-friendliness, and student reviews. You can't buy a spot, but a complete, verified profile is how academies get noticed.
Can I advertise or sponsor a city guide?
Yes. You can run banner placements across city and article pages, or sponsor your metro's Top Gyms guide. Ad spots are always clearly labeled and never disguised as ranking — ask us for rates.
How do you verify academies?
We confirm each academy's address, schedule, and contact details, note the head coach's rank and affiliation where public, and score every gym on an independent 0–5 rating before it's listed.
