Building a BJJ Directory – One State at a Time

I’ve started working on a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu directory to help people find gyms, academies, and competitors more easily. Right now, I’m focusing on organizing everything by U.S. states. It’s still early, but it’s coming together nicely. The plan is to combine google business data with data such as instagram handles and instructor names. A mammoth task for sure. Here is what I have so far: https://www.bjjmetrics.com/gyms A key frustrating issue is that many gyms choose not to share who the instructors actually are! Not to mention their competition accolades, they dont even say anything about instructors. Personally I would be very wary of such gyms. Maybe visit for a trial if there is nothing else in the area but otherwise a big no-no. So far, I’ve added a few states and I’m working through the rest. The goal is to make it super easy to search by location, whether you’re traveling, moving, or just looking to see who’s training nearby. More updates soon — if you have suggestions or want your academy listed, feel free to reach out!
