BJJ Academies in Nevada.
Nevada's BJJ scene is anchored by Las Vegas, which is also one of the U.S.'s most important grappling-event cities. The IBJJF World No-Gi Championship is held annually in Las Vegas; the most recent ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship was at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, in August 2024.
Zenith Jiu Jitsu, founded in 2012 by 4th-degree black belt Robert Drysdale (under Léo Vieira), is the city's anchor academy and has been voted "Best of Las Vegas" three times. Drysdale's main location is at 1246 South Rainbow Blvd. Drysdale returned to the U.S. in 2007 and ran grappling classes at Randy Couture's Xtreme Couture gym before founding his own academy. Gracie Barra Henderson covers the Henderson side of the metro.
