BJJ Academies in Antioquia.

Antioquia — the Colombian department containing Medellín — is Colombia's BJJ-tourism hub and one of South America's increasingly popular training destinations.

Medellín hosts Affinity Jiu-Jitsu Medellín, the Cobrinha Jiu Jitsu Medellín affiliate (Poblado, under instructor Yiyo, in the network led by Rubens "Cobrinha" Charles), and MMA Colombia under head coach Daniel Nogueira — a Brazilian black belt from GFTeam. The city's BJJ surface has grown alongside its broader status as a Latin American digital-nomad and competition-tourism destination.
