Where modern American jiu-jitsu built its northern capital, from San Francisco across the bay to Silicon Valley.

Where jiu-jitsu built its East Coast capital, from Manhattan across the boroughs.

Texas's independent heart and its fast-growing corridor — free trials, day passes, and the fine print, band by band.

The guide's third US-depth city and its first with four areas: eight own-channel doors with printed grids or prices, free weeks and two-class trials beside Syndicate's paid $30 three-day pass, and Jiu Jitsu Authority's fifty Nevada addresses.

The guide's fourth US-depth city, four areas along the lake and the L: fifteen own-channel doors with free intros or a paid seven-day week, Downtown's printed drop-in and guest pass, and three directories for the recorded rows.

One of America's densest mats: the Atos network's world headquarters with its weekday grid printed in full, Gracie Barra and 10th Planet doors, and a $0 trial up the North County coast.

A city with German words for the paid single visit — 'Einmalkarte', 'Tageskarte' — that also sells that visit in English inside German-language rooms, in four words with no agreement between them; and where 'Probetraining' names a trial, not a free one, so read the figure beside it. This guide covers Berlin Bezirk by Bezirk as each is verified.

Berlin's register inverted — «kostenloses Probetraining» at six of seven doors — and the first city this guide opened on a demand signal.

A metro that publishes in Spanish and prices nothing in English — 'clase muestra' is the free first class, 'clase de visita' the paid one, and 'clase suelta' is a private lesson, not a walk-in; this guide covers the city and its Estado de México ring, area by area as each is verified.

The city that speaks English to the visitor: FOREIGNER daily and weekly passes printed in English on an Italian operator's own tariffa, a flatly free first lesson at the same door, an English-first flagship with a COMPLETELY-FREE trial and drop-in open by default, and a printed tariffa at a room whose domain says what it is.

Where 'clase de prueba' appears it comes without a figure — ask. Covered area by area as each is verified.

The own-channel capital where the free register leads — one club prints «Prueba clase gratis» in its site title, and a three-door network runs under a coral-belt maestro. Nobody prints a price: rates live in the booking conversation.

Poland's first free-register city — «pierwszy trening gratis» at three of four doors — and the proof that the Warsaw wall was Warsaw's.

A city where 'trening próbny' — the trial class — is a paid product where it appears at all, and most rooms publish no trial word: the door is the single entry, 'jednorazowe wejście'. Much of Warsaw's club life lives on channels this research does not read, so the guide is small and says so. Covered area by area as each is verified.

A city that prices the first visit five different ways at once: a flatly free trial, a 1000₽ trial credited toward membership, a plainly priced 1500₽ trial, a paid trial with no figure published, and one door that is free for children and half price for adults — off a base the site never prints. The figure beside the word decides, never the word. Covered area by area as each is verified.
