How much does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu cost in Singapore?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Singapore is commonly priced by monthly membership rather than per class, with trial classes often free to around $30. At this academy the trial class is $30 and monthly membership is $250 for adults or $200 if you are under 24, with no franchise or registration fee. There is no gi to budget for, since every session is no-gi.
What this academy charges
A one-off trial class is $30. Monthly membership is $250 for adults and $200 for anyone under 24. There is no franchise fee and no registration fee, because the academy is independent rather than part of a chain. There is also no gi to buy, since every session is no-gi.
Prices are in Singapore dollars. Confirm the current rate on the pricing page or by message before signing up.
The fees that catch people out
Registration or joining fees. Some gyms charge a one-off amount on top of the first month, and franchised academies sometimes add an association or federation registration fee on top of that.
Minimum contract terms. A price quoted per month is not the same as a price you can stop paying next month. Ask what the minimum commitment is and what the cancellation notice period is before you sign.
Grading fees. Some martial arts charge for belt tests. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu generally does not, since promotion is usually handed out in class, but it is worth asking.
Peak and off peak restrictions. A cheaper membership sometimes excludes evening classes, which are the ones most working people can actually attend.
Kit costs beyond the membership
A gi, if the academy you pick trains in one. Prices range widely and you never need one on day one. At an all no-gi academy there is no gi cost at all, which removes the single biggest kit expense.
A rash guard and shorts you can probably supply from existing gym clothes. A mouthguard is optional in a standard class. Beyond that, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is unusually cheap to equip compared with striking arts, which need gloves, wraps, shin guards and often a bag.
How to compare gyms on price
Work out the cost per class you will realistically attend, not the headline monthly figure. A cheaper membership you use once a week is worse value than a dearer one you use three times.
Then check what is included, and whether the timetable has classes at hours you can actually make. That is the difference that decides whether you keep going. A membership you stop using is the most expensive option available.
