BJJ in Dortmund

Dortmund is one of the four anchor Ruhrgebiet cities in this directory's NRW pass — 7 academies inside the city limits across the Innenstadt, the Ritterstraße corridor, and outlying neighborhoods. Pricing is in EUR; adult unlimited BJJ in Dortmund typically falls in the €50–€100/month band, the working-class Ruhr-region pricing that defines NRW. The local scene is heavily MMA-led with BJJ as a strong secondary program in most academies rather than a dedicated specialist room. The deepest multi-discipline anchor is **budokan Dortmund** (operating since 1968), one of the oldest continuously running combat-sports centers in NRW — covering Muay Thai, Kickboxen, Boxen, Taekwon-Do, Sambo, MMA, Krav Maga, plus a kids' program and a Sauna/wellness area under coaches Viktor Nihaenko and Wladimir Galjardt. **Fightology-Gym** (founded August 2012) is the brothers Armin and Benjamin Malekzadeh's 1000 m² fight gym with Muay Thai/Thaiboxen, Boxen, MMA, Grappling/BJJ, K-1, and Ringen, supporting 5 trainers and 14 fighters. **Fight Lounge Dortmund-City** (Ritterstraße 8) is the Dortmund branch of the regional **Fight Lounge** chain (also Bochum + Hagen), running on the Magicline pricing platform under Franek Lukanowski and Mark Buchholz with BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai, Thai-Boxen, Boxen, Krav Maga, Luta Livre, and Lil Dragons kids. **BAEKHO** (founded 1988, run in second generation across Dortmund HQ + Oberhausen) covers Taekwondo, Kick-/Thai-Boxen, Kung-Fu, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — an unusual TKD-anchored room that includes a serious BJJ program. **LAGHMARI PALACE Fight Club Dortmund** is a striking-focused fight club (Boxen, Kickboxen, K1, Muay Thai) under Souliman Laghmari, with MMA and BJJ added through coach Nicolas Anielski. **Rumble Fight Club** is a 500+ m² MMA-focused fight club under owner Harun Uzun with MMA, Grappling, Boxen, and Fitness. **Combat Sports Dortmund** is an MMA-adjacent combat-sports gym with no published web details.
