Over the past weeks I've created bjjgym.com, a site oriented at bjj practicioners around the world, to help find gyms while on the road.
The Problem: As a traveler I've faced sometimes a hard time finding gyms that welcome drop-ins, offer nogi classes (no need to pack a gi) and are chill and welcome friendly. In the past, I used Google Maps and checked each gym site, but it's a pain in the ass and reviews lack key details.
The solution: A website where users can search and rate gyms based on tags like:
Currently, the following criteria are being considered:
- Drop-in choices (and fees?)
- Nogi or gi classes
- Warm vibe
- Cleanliness (to be clear of staph, ringworm...)
- Gym's skill range
- Open mat times
- Women's classes
So far, I've launched a search tool that sorts by big cities (New York, Austin, Madrid...).
Would love to hear some feedback for it :)
