How Much Do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Classes Cost in Metro Vancouver?

How much do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes actually cost? If you’re looking for affordable beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes in Metro Vancouver’s Richmond BC, you’ve come to the right place. At Art of Kickboxing, we believe world-class martial arts training should be accessible. That’s why our beginner-friendly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program, led by black belt and multi-time competition champion Coach Joe, is just $139.99/month for 8 classes—breaking down to less than $17 per session. These are some of the most affordable BJJ classes not only in Richmond but across Metro Vancouver. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.

Is it Expensive to Learn BJJ?

The average cost of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes across Metro Vancouver can range from $150 to $300 per month depending on membership plans, class frequency, facility features, and instructor experience. Some gyms charge monthly memberships with 12-month contracts, initiation fees, or hidden costs. Others require unlimited training plans, driving prices higher without offering personalized attention.

At Art of Kickboxing, we keep our monthly membership fees transparent and flexible. There are no surprise charges—just honest training with qualified, supportive instructors. For $139.99/month, students get 8 structured BJJ sessions a month, and we even offer a free trial class to help you make an informed decision. This trial class gives you a real taste of the quality of instruction, energy, and support that defines our community.

How Much Does a BJJ Gi Cost?

A beginner Gi typically ranges between $80 and $150, depending on brand and quality. Keep in mind, this is often a one-time investment for your training journey. Most Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes require a Gi after the first few sessions.

For your trial classes, we allow No-Gi attire (like rash guards and athletic wear) for the first 1-2 classes, making it easier for first-time students to get started without additional costs. Afterwards, students can purchase their own Gi from a vendor of their choice. We don’t rent Gis, ensuring you always have your own high-quality training gear.

Some practitioners also choose to train in a rash guard, which typically costs between $30 and $60. These are usually optional in both Gi classes and No-Gi sessions, but are important when it comes to competition and higher level sparring.
