How Much Does BJJ Cost in Singapore? Memberships, Trial Classes and Equipment
Admin, GJJ Singapore
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Singapore commonly involves three types of expenses: training fees, a uniform traditionally called a Kimono or Gi and optionally No-Gi clothing, and a small amount of optional personal equipment such as mouthguards and finger tape. At GJJ Singapore, adult membership options currently range from $280 for a flexible monthly plan to $2,500 for a 12-month upfront membership. New students can first use a free 2-day trial before deciding whether to join.
GJJ Singapore Membership Prices
Unlimited gym membership options are:
- 12 months upfront: $2,500, including a complimentary GJJ Singapore Gi at signup
- 6 months: $1,400
- 3 months: $750
- Monthly pay-as-you-go membership: $280
- One-time registration fee for a new member: $30
The longer plans reduce the effective monthly cost. The annual plan works out to approximately $208 per month before considering the included Gi. The six-month plan is approximately $233 per month, while the three-month plan is $250 per month. The monthly option costs more per month but provides less commitment.
Membership or Class Pass: Which Is Better?
A membership generally makes sense when you intend to train consistently. A class pass may suit shift workers, frequent travellers or people dividing their time between several activities. The right comparison is not only the upfront price; calculate how often you will realistically attend before the pass expires.
Current class-pass options are:
- Single class: $60 with one-week validity
- 10 classes: $500 with three-month validity
- 30 classes: $1,200 with six-month validity
- 50 classes: $1,500 with 12-month validity

For example, the 50-class pass is $30 per class if every class is used. The 30-class pass is $40 per class, and the 10-class pass is $50 per class. Someone training twice each week may receive better value and more flexibility from an unlimited membership, while an occasional schedule may prefer the class pass.
What Does BJJ Equipment Cost?
You do not need to buy everything before your first lesson. Trial students can wear ordinary sports clothing, and Gi rental is available for $10 per session. This allows you to confirm that you enjoy training and obtain advice about sizing before purchasing a uniform.
Current GJJ Singapore merchandise prices include:
- Adult Gi: $160
- Kids Gi: $120
- Rashguard: $40
- Training shorts: $40
- Belt: $15
- Gi rental: $10 per session
Are Discounted Memberships Available?
GJJ Singapore currently offers a 50% membership discount to NSF personnel, law-enforcement officers (Police, Military, SCDF), senior citizens and university students. The complimentary Gi is excluded from this discount. Eligibility and current terms should be confirmed with the academy before payment.
How to Judge Whether a BJJ Membership Is Worth It
The cheapest plan is not automatically the best value. Consider the timetable, travel time, coaching quality, class structure, hygiene and whether you feel comfortable with the training culture. A nearby academy that you attend consistently is usually more valuable than a cheaper option that does not fit your schedule.
Before committing, ask yourself:
- Can I attend at least twice most weeks?
- Does the timetable fit my work or school schedule?
- Do the beginner classes match my experience level?
- Can the membership be paused for injury, illness or travel?
- Do I understand the validity period and booking rules?
Use the free 2-day trial to evaluate the coaching and environment before comparing plans. A trial is more informative than choosing solely from a price table.
