Rio de Janeiro rental apartments for BJJ and MMA students is a hot topic because the local hotel scene here is notorious for ripping people off and charging a “Gringo Tax” that is completely unpredictable.

Due to these hotel hustles, rental apartments seem like a better solution for most of us.

While watching the Fight Quest documentary on the Discovery Channel for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, one of the fighters makes the comment – When fighters die and go to heaven, it probably looks like Rio.” He couldn't have said it better.

The different types of apartments are Pent Houses, Luxury units, 1 and 2 bedrooms flats, and Studios. All of these properties are walking distance to the beach and it's neighbor Ipanema. Rio de Janeiro's summer months are December to February and this is high season on rental property rates. This is very much the case for Carnival and New Years Eve. Just be aware that you'll find better deals in months like June, July, and August then the week of Carnival or New Years.

Leblon and Ipanema share the same beach region. Just down the road it's the same story with Copacabana beach and Leme being connected. It's not surprising that people from all over want to spend infinite days in Leblon soaking up the sun rays and chilling on the beach. This is the Carioca lifestyle and it's been a challenge to find any spot on earth that's better.

The average Leblon day of beach, gym, beach, night life, is all anyone could ask for. A lot of athletes enjoy coming to Rio because of the healthy beach lifestyle. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters in particular have a blast with the world class Jiu-Jitsu training and Surfing all day.
