The John Frankl Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competition Team currently runs classes in two locations.
Apgujeong Academy

The main JFBJJ Academy is located in Apgujeong-dong, just a few minutes walk from the

Apgujeong Subway Station (Orange Line #3). From the station, take Exit 3 and walk 200 meters straight ahead. Walk past the CGV movie theater and take a left turn at the Mini Stop (convenience store). Then take the first right turn and you will see a "Jiu Jitsu" sign about 100 feet ahead. We are in the basement.

Yonsei University Academy

We also have classes at Yonsei University. Take either a bus to the front of the university or the subway to the Shinchon stop (between Edae and Hongdae) on the Green Line #2. From the station follow the signs to the Yonsei front gate. From the front gate walk about 100 meters until you see outdoor basketball courts on your left. Turn left and head up the small hill. The gymnasium is the building that looks like an airplane hangar at the top of the hill. We are in the back on the second floor.

We also have affiliated academies near Seoul National University and in Pangbae-dong. If these locations are much more convenient, we can provide contact information.

Apgujeong Academy
Tuesday-Thursday-Friday 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Monday through Friday 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
