BJJ Academies in Dubai.

Dubai is one of the UAE's two main BJJ emirates, and the country's hub for international team affiliates and high-end training infrastructure.

Major affiliated team rooms in Dubai include Gracie Barra Dubai, Gracie Humaita Dubai (Al Wasl Road, Al Safa 1), Roger Gracie Academy Dubai (The Forge, Al Barsha — opened July 8, 2022), Renzo Gracie Academy Dubai, Alliance Dubai, Atos Jiu-Jitsu Dubai, and Team Nogueira Dubai. The IBJJF and AJP run multiple events out of the emirate.

Dubai's BJJ scene runs at two speeds simultaneously: the elite expat / Brazilian black-belt affiliate side, and a steady pipeline of MMA and competition-tourism training visitors year-round.
