Matte1
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Matte1 was founded in 2020 by three BJJ athletes who shared one vision: to make Vienna a home for authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. What started as a small class in a rented room quickly grew into one of the city’s leading BJJ gyms.

Our name is about more than the mat itself – it stands for the first place to go for BJJ in Vienna. The “1” reflects our standard of quality and our place at the top of the Austrian BJJ scene.

From day one, our goal has been to make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu open to everyone – whatever your age, gender or experience.

Frequently asked questions about BJJ training

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. BJJ is built on leverage and technique, not raw strength. Our structured beginner classes walk you through the fundamentals step by step – safe and effective from day one.

How quickly will I see progress?

Train two or three times a week and you’ll notice a real difference within two to three weeks – in your fitness, flexibility, confidence and technique.

Do I need any special gear?

For your trial class, sportswear and a towel are all you need. If you stick with it, you can buy a quality gi (BJJ uniform) right at the gym.

Can I cancel my membership?

Standard memberships run for 3 to 12 months and can then be cancelled monthly. Flexible options and pausing your membership are possible – just talk to us.
