How BJJ Changed Their Lives.

Real Stories from Students Across Our Academies

When I joined, I was at my lowest, 300+ lbs, diabetic, and had zero confidence. Jiu-jitsu here changed my life. Every class made me feel stronger, supported, and more alive. If I can do it, you can too.

My three-year-old son joined two months ago. He tried other sports but only connected with Jiu-Jitsu, thanks to Professor Louis-Philippe. He is patient, friendly, calm, and also appropriately demanding. This balance builds discipline, which kids need to succeed. My son loves going and has already become more disciplined, less shy, and more attentive. Clean space, easy access, and free parking. Thank you for your hard work and professionalism!

I accompanied my 7-year-old grandson and noticed that the teacher (Louis-Philippe) adapts to his students and respects their learning speed. The place is clean and welcoming (armchairs, kitchen, changing room, etc.). My grandson is very happy to train and always looks forward to going back.

I have to say my experience here has been amazing. Even on my first day here I liked the environment, the people, the coaches, everything was amazing, and very easy to start understanding concepts to the sport! All the instructors take time to explain if someone is having difficulty understanding. The people that come here are also super friendly and it's easy to make friends.

Glen, Andrew, Wayne, Claudio and Phil and the others are amazing. Renzo team will take Montreal by storm this year 2024! And it’s just the beginning. I have progressed a lot with their techniques in 2-3 months 🌟✨ especially with LASSO from Andrew and some variations of pressure passing guards from Glen. And many other stuff. Let’s start the new year with a strong numbers of new members! God bless!

A super friendly, welcoming and supportive gym in a beautiful and clean facility. Very nice mats on a sprung floor, so taking falls on them is a pleasure. The level of the athletes is excellent. Anyone from a brand new white belt to a high-level competitor will be satisfied at this gym. Glen provides outstanding, highly-technical  instruction coupled with a great sense of humour that makes the already-fun training even more fun!

Customer service was impeccable they were respectful and helpful, answered to all my questions and I was very confident before letting my son train with them. Coaches were very professional and trained my son very well. Really recommend this place if you want to start jujitsu. If there were more than 5 stars, I would put more.

Very good BJJ school. I have been training at this gym for 6 months now. Very good level of competition, amazing team spirit and the level of support and help between team members is impeccable. It all starts with Professor Glen, very good technician and even better teacher. All you need is one try, don't wait!

Excellent school, my 7 year old son has been doing Jiujitsu there for 2 years already! And I can say that the influence of the coach and this discipline is incredibly positive. Give it a try, you won’t regret!

The nicest BJJ facility in Quebec hands down. The guys training on this team are absolute animals, arguably the best in the city. If you want to get good at BJJ, compete, and smash everyone; this is the team for you. The Professor is the best coach in the business for building champions.

I noticed this JiuJitsu school open near my house. I was already looking at a martial arts class to undertake. I decided to walk in mid day and check it out. Glen was there and introduced himself, and asked me to jump in on a class to see if I liked it. I’ve been hooked since. Not only is it a great school that shows proper technique. The people there and in class are extremely helpful. Will sign up my 6 year old son shortly.
