BJJ in Plantation

Plantation is a planned Broward suburb that runs along Broward Blvd west of Fort Lauderdale, with a well-maintained commercial-residential grid that draws professional families from across central Broward. Its 2 academies — YR Jiu Jitsu Team and John Wai Martial Arts — are both independent operations, each with a distinct character: YR is competition-oriented, while John Wai Martial Arts has roots in traditional martial arts alongside its BJJ curriculum. The city's central Broward location puts it within easy reach of Fort Lauderdale's deep roster (15 minutes east) and Sunrise's western options (10 minutes west). Residents looking for a Gracie-affiliated school will need to commute to Fort Lauderdale, where Gracie Humaita, Renzo Gracie, and Rilion Gracie each have locations.
