Get to know us
Founded in 2020, Art of Ground Games began with a vision to build a modern BJJ academy that sets a new standard for training in Finland: a place where our Jiu-Jitsu is built to last for generations.
From one mat to three academies
Art of Ground Games began in 2020 with a simple idea: build a modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in the heart of Helsinki that combines world-class training, community and service. Today we are three academies and a community of over 500 members from all over the world.
AOGG in numbers: our story in a nutshell
Where it all began
Our first academy opened at Erottaja, right in the center of Helsinki, just as the pandemic changed the world. Those first years were tough, but they shaped who we are: resilient, close-knit and built around community.
By 2022 we made a clear choice. Our members come from all over the world, so we became an international academy open to everyone, while staying true to our Finnish roots.

Room to grow
Our second academy is larger and built on everything we learned at Erottaja. Sörnäinen quickly found its identity: committed young athletes and experienced old-schoolers training hard side by side, focused on two things: growth and having fun.

The next step
Our third academy opened inside Hybridiarena Hype in Kivenlahti, Espoo. It is home to Finland’s strongest kids and teens competition team and a growing adult team, built on structured training, clear development paths and a community that grows together.

More than classes
Seminars, open mats and competitions bring our three academies together. One training membership gives you access to all of them, and to a community where everyone helps each other get better.

Absolutely! You don't need to be in "peak condition" to start. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic way to improve your fitness, and the training is designed to let you progress at your own pace.
To start as beginner or in No-GI classes, you only need comfortable indoor sportswear (t-shirt and shorts/sweatpants without zippers or buttons) and a water bottle. Dental guards are highly recommended. For BJJ with GI, you will need a BJJ Gi (uniform).
No problem. Life happens! If you miss a class, just join the next one. We review techniques regularly, so you won't get left behind.
Yes. Safety is our priority. All training is supervised, and we teach everyone from day one to respect their partners and to "tap out" early to prevent injuries.
