Memberships, class packs & prices
Training at Carlson Gracie Amsterdam starts free. Monday's two classes — 08:00 and 18:00 — are free, once per person, and women can also take a free first class in Friday's Women's Only Class. Another day suits you better? A single class is €25 in the sessions listed below.
After that there are four ways to train: monthly memberships, annual memberships paid in full, prepaid options, and a starter package for women new to the academy. Every price is on this page. No registration fee, no hidden costs, nothing that only appears after you ask.

| Option | Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Free first class | €0 | Monday 08:00 or 18:00, on the Mondays shown on the schedule · once per person · a gi is lent to you |
| Women's Only Class — first class | €0 | Friday 18:00 · for women new to the academy |
Monthly memberships
Paid monthly. Choose by how much you will train and how long you want to commit.
| Membership | Price | Commitment |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Classes per Week | €85 / month | 12 months |
| Unlimited | €95 / month | 12 months |
| Flexible Unlimited | €99 / month | Minimum 3 months |
The Flexible membership exists for one reason: not everyone is ready to commit to a year on day one. Four euros a month more, unlimited training, three-month minimum, and no annual contract. If Jiu-Jitsu becomes part of your life, the twelve-month memberships are the better deal — and by then you will know.
Annual memberships — pay for 10 months, train for 12
Paid once, in full. Two months free compared with the monthly contract.
| Plan | Price | The deal |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Classes per Week | €850 / year | 10 × €85 — two months free |
| Unlimited | €950 / year | 10 × €95 — two months free |
Prepaid options
No contract. Pay once, train on your own rhythm.
| Option | Price | Valid |
|---|---|---|
| Single class | €25 | One class — see the eligible sessions below |
| 5 Classes | €100 | 1 month |
| 20 Classes | €250 | 3 months |
| 6-Month Unlimited | €500 | 6 months, unlimited classes |
Which sessions a single class or a class pack can be used in:
| Day | Time | Class | Who |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 18:00 | Beginners & Intermediates | Anyone |
| Tuesday | 19:00 | Advanced | Blue belt and above |
| Wednesday | 08:00 | Beginners & Intermediates | Anyone |
| Wednesday | 18:00 | Beginners & Intermediates | Anyone |
| Thursday | 18:00 | Beginners & Intermediates | Anyone |
| Thursday | 19:00 | Advanced | Blue belt and above |
| Friday | 08:00 | Beginners & Intermediates | Anyone |
Monday is not on the list, on purpose. Both Monday classes are a free first class, once per person, and they are kept for people arriving for the first time. Friday evening — the Women's Only Class and No-Gi — and every Open Mat are for members.
The 6-Month Unlimited is for students who want complete flexibility without a twelve-month membership. It is deliberately time-based rather than class-counted: we would rather you thought about training than about how many sessions you have left.
Women's Starter Package
Created to make it easier for women to take their first steps in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, in a welcoming and respectful environment.
- 10 classes
- €100
- Valid 4 months
- For women joining the academy for the first time
A permanent part of the academy's pricing, not a limited offer. Start free: your first class costs nothing — Monday's free class, or Friday's 18:00 Women's Only Class with Professor Olga Lyashevska, whichever suits you — and the Starter Package begins after that.
There is no single-class option for the Women's Only Class. The way in is the free first class, then this package, then a membership.
Which option is right for you?
- New to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? → the free first class, Monday 08:00 or 18:00, on the Mondays the schedule shows.
- A woman starting from zero? → the free Friday class, then the Women's Starter Package.
- Visiting Amsterdam? → a single class, €25.
- Training occasionally? → 5 or 20 classes.
- Want flexibility? → Flexible Unlimited, or 6-Month Unlimited.
- Training long-term? → the 12-month memberships.
- Best long-term value? → the annual prepaid memberships — pay for 10 months, train for 12.
What's included — and what isn't
Every option covers full instruction in the academy's Carlson Gracie curriculum, taught to the same standard in every class — by head instructor Marcos Flexa, Professor Olga Lyashevska and Professor Desmond van den Berg.
No registration fee, of any kind. A gi is lent for your first class only; from the second class you train in your own, and gis are sold at the academy.
The Kids Program is run independently by Professor Laszlo and has its own prices — bjjkidsamsterdam.nl.
How to pay
Memberships, plans and packs run through Gymdesk, the academy's booking system. There is no registration fee — only what is listed on this page.
Cancelling or changing a membership takes an email with one full calendar month's notice before the next billing cycle (full terms).
