60 BJJ Academies in Salvador.
Salvador is the capital of Bahia and Brazil's third-largest city — the cultural cradle of Afro-Brazilian heritage and the principal home of capoeira (UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, 2014). The Federação de Jiu-Jitsu da Bahia (FJJBAHIA) runs the state-level Bahia BJJ Pro circuit (gi and no-gi) with multi-stage etapas across Pojuca and Ilhéus. A separate body, FBJJMMA (Federação Baiana de Jiu Jitsu e MMA), also operates in the state.
The IBJJF runs an active Salvador calendar: the Salvador Fall International Open at Ginásio Poliesportivo de Cajazeiras (the 2025 edition ran March 29–30), an IBJJF Salvador Spring International Open, and companion Kids editions across the year.
The team map clusters across Rio Vermelho, Barra, Pituba, and Cabula. Gracie Barra Salvador (Rio Vermelho) sits on Trav. Lydio de Mesquita; Gracie Barra Farol da Barra is at R. Marquês de Caravelas, 62 in Barra; Gracie Barra Pituba operates as a third unit. Alliance Jiu-Jitsu Salvador runs from Av. Miguel Navarro Y Canizares, 300 in Pituba, with a separate Alliance Jiu Jitsu Piatã branch. Nova União maintains a Salvador presence in the Cabula neighborhood. Almeida Jiu-Jitsu under Uilian Almeida and Associação Nordeste Jiu-Jitsu (Rua Professor Pinto de Aguiar, 400) round out the local depth.
Salvador-born BJJ talent includes Luiza Monteiro, who has competed extensively on the IBJJF circuit.
