Learning jiu-jitsu in Bogotá proper
Two doors in the capital's fence open all the way. Satori Jiu Jitsu at Carrera 11 #80-09, second floor in El Nogal, prints its kids', teens' and adults' jiu-jitsu beside boxing and MMA, a named principal instructor (Rodolfo Pertuz, 2nd-degree black belt, per the site itself), attention hours through the day — and the register: «Reserva tu clase gratis — Sin compromiso · Cupos limitados». Affinity Studios on Calle 85 (308 members on the roll, the metro's second-biggest room) keeps a dedicated «Clase de Cortesía» booking page under professor Carlos Quintero, the address and WhatsApp printed beside the form. Around them, the roll's records: Team FCJJ on Diagonal 35 Bis — 663 members, the country's biggest room — Mas De La Riva (106), Cobra Aki, GOLDREAMS, Gracie Barra in Modelia, and the WAC/Kanji pair the registry itself links by one operator across two rows. Their channels are walled, so the printed seats and phones are the doors. For someone just starting, the real question is not "which academy is best" but "which one fits me."

Affinity Studios
Who this academy suits
The metro's second-biggest room on the roll (308 members) with a real open door: Affinity Studios on Calle 85 — the El Retiro belt of Chapinero — runs kids' and adults' BJJ beside functional and striking programs under professor Carlos Quintero, and keeps a dedicated «Clase de Cortesía» page: a courtesy-class booking form with the address (interior 6, local 401) and the WhatsApp line printed beside it. The weekly grid is on the site but not in its server text — book the courtesy class first and ask for the current schedule and plans on WhatsApp
Why we say it: affinitystudios.com.co home + /trial + /horarios, read 2026-08-27 — the name, professor line, programs, the «Clase de Cortesía» byte, the address and the WhatsApp number are the club's own published content, quoted verbatim; the /horarios grid is client-rendered under a «Calendario 2024» label and no schedule is claimed from it; the AJP roll (club/4290) cross-confirms the seat

I'm a complete beginner. Can I just show up?
It differs by academy. Entries show where a fundamentals program and first-visit process are verified. For the rest, check with the academy before visiting. For what a first class actually feels like, see the beginner posts on our blog.
