BJJ Gyms in Aargau

Aargau is the German-speaking canton on the Zürich–Basel axis, with a 4-gym footprint split across three cities — Aarau (2), Rheinfelden (1) and Wohlen (1). Pricing is in CHF and runs roughly CHF 67–120/mo for adult unlimited at the multi-discipline studios, with one premium subscription-based BJJ academy in Aarau that quotes long-term tiers on consultation only. There is no canton-wide dominant affiliation — the academies here run independent lineages (Sampa BJJ via Renato Migliaccio, Roger Gracie via Dean Mihanović) plus an International BJJ Association (IBJJA / Edson Diniz) affiliate.

Aarau anchors the canton. New Legacy Aarau (Neumattstrasse 36) is a modern combat-sports school offering BJJ (Gi/No-Gi), MMA, Kickboxing, Wrestling and Kids BJJ under head coach Marius Maissen — a BJJ Black Belt 2. Dan under Renato Migliaccio (Sampa BJJ) and one of Switzerland's pioneers of No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. The instructor bench is unusually deep for a Swiss academy: BJJ Black Belt Nenad Kokeza (Dean Mihanović / Roger Gracie lineage, competing since 2008), Brown Belt Erbakan Kocatürk as BJJ Assistant Coach, Purple Belt Jann Kaufmann as Kids Coach (international competitor), Purple Belt Corina Schmid as Kids Coach and IBJJF European Champion 2024, Pro MMA Fighter Moreno Kacapor for Kickboxing competition, plus Blue Belt Sivan Sommer on Kickboxing. Try-out is two lessons for CHF 25, longer memberships quoted on consultation. The neighbouring International BJJ Association (New Legacy Gym Aarau) at Weihermattstrasse 86 is an affiliated school of Master Edson Diniz's IBJJA (headquartered Ribeirão Preto, BR), running Thaiboxen tiers from CHF 950/year for adults plus 24h gym access for members and non-members.

Outside Aarau the canton thins out. Genesis Gym Rheinfelden (Gerstenweg 8A) is a 24/7 fitness and combat-sports studio teaching Boxen, Thaiboxen, MMA, Grappling (No-Gi) and Ringen with a Full-Abo at CHF 1190/year (~CHF 99/mo) bundling fitness, group fitness and combat sports, plus specialty tiers for Kinder Thaiboxen, Frauen Thaiboxen and Fit mit Babybauch — no dedicated BJJ Gi program, but full No-Gi Grappling and a 4.8★ Google rating across 66 reviews.
