About Us
Built by practitioners,
for practitioners
BJJ Portal was born out of frustration with gym management software that didn't understand BJJ. We set out to build something better.
Our Story
We're just getting started.
What we believe in
The principles that guide how we build BJJ Portal.
Built by practitioners
We train BJJ ourselves. We understand the culture, the community, and what academies actually need.
Simple by design
Software should help, not hinder. We obsess over making things simple so you can focus on teaching.
Your data, your control
We use Stripe Connect so payments go directly to you. Export your data anytime. No lock-in.
Community first
We reinvest in the BJJ community through sponsorships, open source, and giving back.
