BJJ Vaasa

Brazilian jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling on our own mat.

· About us

Vaasa's BJJ community since 2008.

BJJ Vaasa is a combat sports club founded in July 2008 to promote recreational and competitive Brazilian jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling. We train on our own mat in central Vaasa — both gi and no-gi, beginners and seasoned grapplers side by side.

  • Regular training location

    Classes are held at Wasamove on Meijerinkatu — a familiar place to train week after week.

  • Clear training themes

    Our training follows nine recurring themes to keep training structured and help students build their game step by step.

  • All levels welcome

    After the intro course, beginners join regular sessions. Newcomers and experienced belts train on the same mat in a safe, supportive club environment. Visitors welcome!

What we train.

Two complementary disciplines — same mat, same equipment, different attire.

  • Submission wrestling (no-gi)

    Submission wrestling (no-gi)

    Grappling without the gi. Faster pace, different grips, and a regular competition circuit in Finland.
