Ottawa Jiu Jitsu

I was in town visiting lookin for a place to train and ran upon Ottawa Jiu Jitsu. Great place to train. Coaching staff is very knowledgeable and great at instructing. Got some good rolls in. Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.

Ottawa Jiu Jitsu.It truly feels like a small circle of like-minded individuals who are not only passionate about BJJ but also genuinely friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and encouragement. The camaraderie and support among the members are inspiring, creating an atmosphere that motivates you to push your limits and grow as a practitioner.One aspect that immediately stood out to me was the gym's commitment to hygiene. The facility is spotless and well-maintained. They take cleanliness seriously, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone. The showers are fantastic, always clean. It's a small but significant detail that reflects the gym's dedication to providing a comfortable and convenient training experience. They go the extra mile to ensure a safe and sanitary environment, which is especially important in combat sports.Now, let's talk about Brandon and the other coaches. The level of knowledge and expertise displayed by the instructors is outstanding. They are not only highly skilled in BJJ but also exceptional educators. Their ability to break down complex techniques into understandable concepts is remarkable. What sets them apart is their commitment to follow-up. They genuinely care about their students' progress and go the extra mile to provide personalized guidance and feedback.

Cannot find a reason to give anything below 5 stars. The environment and community is super welcoming and supportive, everybody’s there to up their game while having fun and exploring, can’t ask for more.Personally really like their teaching style of going harder in lessons and classes than in training and sparring since you absorb the moves quicker as well as avoid making bad habits in sparring. Can’t wait to be back!

I highly recommend training at Ottawa Jiu Jitsu, whether you are new or experienced. The coaches do a great job at offering basic, or more challenging variations of an exercise to meet everyones learning needs. The gym has a great culture; people are friendly, supportive and respectful.Jiu jitsu has helped me feel safer and more confident as a women walking alone at night, or in other possibly vulnerable situations. Whether you're looking for self-defence, a good workout, or you're training to compete, Ottawa Jiu Jitsu is a great place to go. Big thanks to Brandon and Emera for fostering such a special community!

Professor Keel and Coach Emera are two amazing coaches dedicated to the success, learning, and enrichment of everyone who comes through the doors of Ottawa Jiu Jitsu Club. There are all levels of students here and everyone is welcomed from kids classes to beginners to international competitors. Professor Keel provides detailed instructions each class with plenty of time for drilling and practice. Everyone I've had the pleasure of training with here is respectful and kind. Classes are offered every day and several times a day so you can surely find one that will accommodate your schedule.

I moved to Ottawa in Summer 2022, and visited this gym by recommendation. After my first visit I knew this was the place to be for learning Jiu Jitsu. Coaches were super welcoming since my first day, and they are very knowledgeable about the sport. There are Jiu Jitsu classes almost everyday depending on your goals and there are also other combat sports available like wrestling, striking few times a week. The environment is welcoming to everyone regardless of your size, experience, gender. You will find someone to train with!! They also provide classes for kids few times a week which looks super fun time for children.

Big Keel and Emera gave myself and a training partner some mat space before ADCC to work. Seeing how they treat their students, competitors and visitors. I’d highly recommend Ottawa Jiu Jitsu. The students are welcoming and friendly. The leadership is top tier. I’m stoked to come back as soon as possible!

Great Instruction, Healthy Culture, Skilled Practitioners:I started training at OJJC in March of 2022 and found a great club for hobbyists and competitors alike.The professors are all knowledgeable and provide great technical instruction for beginners and advanced belts.It's clear that a healthy gym culture is important to the profs too and I've always felt welcome.OJJC provides 5 star training every day and I highly recommend a visit for anyone thinking about coming out.
