Every state we've mapped, ranked and filterable — flip between an at-a-glance overview, the city grid, and the full sortable shop.
Every city with a gym gets its own page — a local map, ratings, gi / no-gi, drop-in fees, and kids programs side by side.
Thousands of gyms with Google ratings, hours, gi / no-gi, kids programs and links — captured from public sources and re-checked over time.
BJJ and MMA records merged into one athlete — submission leaderboards, finish rates, head-to-heads, and an interactive scatter of every competitor.
First-person notes from the mat — starting late, training smart, and what each room actually feels like.
