BJJ Gyms in Bern

Bern is the German-speaking Mittelland canton and federal capital, with a 23-academy footprint across 12 cities — anchored by the city of Bern (7), Ostermundigen (3), and 2-gym pockets in Biel/Bienne (bilingual DE/FR), Burgdorf and Langenthal, plus single-gym branches in Stettlen, Worb, Bäriswil, Lyss, Zollikofen, Brügg and Interlaken (Berner Oberland). Pricing is in CHF and runs notably lower than Zürich: the canton average sits near CHF 68/mo, with adult BJJ unlimited commonly in the CHF 80–150/mo band at commercial dojos and Vereins-style programs (Alvorada, Fusion Sports BJJ-only, MTSB combo) dropping to CHF 55–90/mo on yearly contracts. Probetraining is universally free (often 2 sessions). Biel/Bienne sits on the language border and operates bilingually; everything else is predominantly German-language. The metro's BJJ pedigree runs through three primary anchors. **Fusion Sports Academy** (Freiburgstrasse 251 Bern, 1,200 m²) hosts Switzerland's first national performance centre for Kickboxing and runs a deep Carlson Gracie BJJ program under Ben Hall BB (Carlson Gracie lineage), with 7 black belts on staff, 18 led BJJ classes/week (Beginner/All-Level/Advanced) and 30+ hours/week of open mat; pricing is sharp at CHF 57–83/mo for BJJ-only annual. **Alvorada Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu** (Alpenstrasse 8, Ostermundigen, since 2018) is led by 2x IBJJF World Champion + 2x Pan + NoGi World + European Champion **Johnif Rocha** (BB under Cicero Costha / PSLPB squad member) — one of the most decorated competitor heads in Switzerland — and co-owner Laurie Rocha; full Gi/NoGi across Beginners/All-Level/Advanced, Ladies-Only and Kids, CHF 63–92/mo on annual. **Joker Jiu-Jitsu Bern** (hosted at Maru Dojo, Uferweg 42) is the Bern-native BJJ school under "Hitch", with Gi/NoGi weekday evenings, Wednesday Kids and Saturday Open Mat — Joker also partners with **Elements Fight Team** (Könizstrasse 74 Bern, founded 2017) and **Elements Interlaken** (Waldeggstrasse 89, since 2019) on a shared CHF 100/mo all-trainings (Bern + Interlaken + Joker JJ) all-access bundle that's one of the best-value MMA + BJJ deals in Switzerland. The second BJJ/MMA layer is broad and instructor-heavy. **BJJ Team Bern Karkará** runs Fundamentals and Advanced in both Gi/NoGi plus Kids out of central Bern (CHF 60/mo). **Jiu-Jitsu Aarhof Bern** rounds out the Bern city BJJ list. **Maru Dojo M. Marffy** (Uferweg 42) is the host facility — a multi-discipline marketplace under Marko Marffy (Shotokan/Goju Ryu Karate) where Joker BJJ, Elements MMA, Boxfit, Yoga and Karate operate as independent programs (Joker BJJ Jahresabo CHF 100/mo). **Shinbudo Biel/Bienne** (founded 2017) is a Judo + BJJ + NoGi + Taïso club with multiple BJJ BBs on staff including head BJJ coach **Valentin Rota** (Vice European Champion M20) and Daniel De Maddalena. **Gladiators Fighting Gym** in Ostermundigen covers Boxing/Kickboxing/Grappling/MMA with a Swiss + international competition pedigree. **SW Trainings** in Ostermundigen (founded 2010 by Stefan Wüthrich, 200+ members, 13 trainers) runs ACDS stand-up, Luta Livre grappling and Self-defense. The **MTSB Fightsports** twin (Lyss + Brügg, 600+ members, founded March 2005 by Roger Rubi) runs MMA + Muay Thai + Boxing + Grappling/Wrestling with a CHF 1019/yr Combo All Access tier covering everything including grappling. **Jiu-Jitsu Academy Worblental** (Stettlen, bjjbern.ch domain), **Jiu-Jitsu International Worb**, **Ju-Jitsu Club Adelboden** (listed at Bäriswil), **Boxfit-Bern** (Zollikofen, members-only 24/7 fight-fitness club with Fight Therapy MMA team), **FightRight Biel/Bienne** (Angelo Fasolis, since 2010), **MMA GYM Langenthal**, **Fightcamp Gym Langenthal / Martial Sports Science Academy** (Dutch & Diana Farinas, since 2012) and **Kampfsport-Center Burgdorf** + sister site **Kickbox-Team Bern** (light-contact kickboxing + Simon Giger's MMA-Burgdorf grappling tenancy + Krav Maga) round out the Mittelland combat-sports bench. Strictly speaking the city's traditional Japanese-rooted Ju-Jitsu via the **SJV** (Swiss Judo & Ju-Jitsu Federation) is a separate art from Brazilian BJJ — when SJV-style clubs appear in this directory they are flagged for completeness rather than as BJJ academies.
