Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at Toronto BJJ

Toronto's home for jiu-jitsu.

The city's most accredited academy. Direct Helio Gracie lineage, world champions on the mats, and a beginner-first room with zero ego. Your first 30 days are free.

Built for beginners. Proven by champions.

For twenty years we've turned nervous first-timers into confident grapplers on the same mats that have produced world, Brazilian, and Canadian champions.

01

Lineage You Can Trace

Instruction taught directly from the late Grandmaster Helio Gracie's line, the way it was meant to be.

02

A Champion Factory

Coaches who've cornered world kickboxers, MMA champions, and a UFC champion, in your corner too.

03

Beginner-First, Ego-Free

Most members walked in with zero experience. Structured fundamentals, and you only spar when you're ready.

04

10,000 Sq Ft Downtown

Two mat areas, change rooms, showers, AC, and a pro shop. One minute from Christie Station.

Find your place on the mat.

Six programs, all under one roof. Every one starts with fundamentals. Every one ends with a coach who knows your name.

Who you'll learn from.

Eight active black belts. Every one holds a lineage, a competition record, and a first-day patience for the beginner across the mat.

From the mats, in their own words.

★★★★★"My plan was to do the 30-day trial, learn some BJJ, and then leave again. Well, I did end up staying here for 2.5 years, and if I didn't have to move away, I would've stayed."

★★★★★"I have been training at Toronto BJJ for the past 4 years. From the very first day I felt welcomed. The coaches also compete and are extremely knowledgeable, though there is no obligation to compete."

★★★★★"The classes were well-structured and I felt completely safe rolling as a newer white belt and petite female. The coaches were clear, patient, and encouraging, breaking down concepts in a way that really clicked."

Questions, answered honestly.

None at all. Most of our members started with zero martial arts experience. Our beginner classes are built specifically for first-timers, and you'll learn at your own pace in a supportive room.

Just yourself and comfortable athletic clothing, shorts and a t-shirt. We provide a loaner gi for your first month. Arrive 10-15 minutes early so we can give you a quick tour.

Safety is the priority. Beginner classes focus on technique and controlled drilling, not live sparring. You'll only spar when you feel ready, with partners who respect your level, under close supervision.

Sign up online or walk in and you get full access to beginner classes for 30 days at no cost. No card upfront, no commitment. If you love it, we'll help you choose the right membership.

Kids can start at age 5. We run Kids (5-12) and Teens (13-17) programs, grouped by age and experience, plus a dedicated women's program and private lessons for all ages.
