BJJ Holiday Bangkok is a dream destination, famous for its incredible street food, stunning temples, and vibrant culture. But for a growing number of travelers, the city offers another powerful attraction: world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If you’re part of the global tribe of “BJJ tourists” who love to combine their passion for grappling with their travels, this guide BJJ Holiday is for you.

As the high season (November-February) approaches, it’s the perfect time to plan your trip. Here’s everything you need to know to make your BJJ holiday in Bangkok unforgettable.

Why Train BJJ Holiday in Bangkok?

- World-Class Training at an Affordable Price: The city is home to high-quality academies with experienced instructors. You can get top-level training at a fraction of the cost you might pay in North America, Europe, or Australia.
- The Ultimate Combat Sports Hub: Thailand is the heart of the striking world, and its grappling scene is exploding. It’s a travel gateway to the rest of Asia, making it a perfect base for a larger trip.
  Bangkok has firmly established itself as a top-tier destination for any martial art enthusiast. Here’s why it should be at the top of your list:
- More Than Just Mats: The experience doesn’t end when training is over. The incredible food, rich culture, and friendly people make your recovery time just as exciting as your time on the mats.

Your Pre-Travel Grappling Checklist

- Your Gear:
  - Gi: If you have space, bring at least one Gi. It’s always best to have your own. However, if luggage space is tight, most gyms (including BJJBKK) offer Gi rentals.
  - No-Gi Kit: Definitely pack a few sets of rash guards and shorts. They are lightweight and essential for training in Thailand’s tropical climate.
  - Belt: Don’t forget it!
- Health Essentials:
  - First-Aid: Pack basics like athletic tape for your fingers, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers.
  - Hydration: Bring a reusable water bottle. You will sweat a lot and need to stay hydrated.
    Packing for a BJJ trip requires a little extra thought. Here’s a quick checklist:
  - Travel Insurance: Always a smart move for any international trip, especially an active one.

A Guide to Dropping In

- Universal Mat Etiquette: Remember the basics—trim your nails, be respectful, bow when entering and leaving the mats, and introduce yourself to the instructor before class.
  Visiting a new gym is one of the best parts of the BJJ journey. Here’s how to do it right:
- Contacting BJJBKK: We love welcoming visitors! The best way to arrange your drop-in is to contact us through our website or social media a day or two in advance. We can confirm class times, let you know the drop-in fee, and answer any questions you have.
