Learning jiu-jitsu in Kaohsiung
Kaohsiung is this guide's second Taiwanese city and the smallest honest city in the corpus. The city's jiu-jitsu lives on Instagram and Facebook — two platforms this research does not read — and exactly one door runs its own domain. But that one is gold: Catch Jiu Jitsu in Qianjin prints its whole adult weekly grid in server text on a site published in English and Chinese (No-Gi Tuesday and Thursday, Gi Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, a 7 AM class on Thursday), keeps «Book a Free Trial Class» as its standing call, and writes a trial clause this corpus had not seen before — «Kids trials are only available Wednesday, Friday or Saturday» and «Judo classes are not available for trial». Head coach Dan Reid is a 3rd-degree BJJ black belt and a judo black belt, seventeen years on the mat and a Marianas Pro win at black belt, all on the academy's own page. The two other rooms — Kaohsiung BJJ & MMA on Zhongshan 2nd Road and 忍者兄弟 in Fengshan — are readable only through a directory and social channels, so they are recorded, not listed. No rankings — verified facts per academy and the evidence behind every claim.

Catch Jiu Jitsu
Who this academy suits
The English-speaking beginner in Kaohsiung: the only door in the city with its own domain, and it is written for you — a full adult grid in server text (No-Gi Tuesday and Thursday, Gi Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, a 7 AM Thursday class), «Book a Free Trial Class» with all equipment provided, and a head coach card that reads 3rd-degree black belt, judo black belt, seventeen years, a Marianas Pro win
Why we say it: catchjj.com home, /adult-grapplers.php and /faq-en.php server text (read 2026-09-01) — grid rows, the trial call, the equipment line and the coach card quoted verbatim
The reader who wants the fine print before the visit: this room prints a trial clause the corpus had not seen — kids trials only Wednesday, Friday or Saturday, and judo excluded from trial — plus its prices in TWD, including a disagreement between two of its own pages on the 10-class pass that this guide records rather than resolves
Why we say it: catchjj.com schedule block, pricing block and FAQ server text (read 2026-09-01) — the clause sentences and both 10-class figures quoted verbatim; the conflict is stated as a conflict
