Complete Fitness and Martial Arts

I flew out from Manchester, England to come visit family for 9 weeks and have been training jiu-jitsu for about 15 months so I needed to find a gym to continue my training.I can’t recommend this gym enough, there’s a wide variety of people at the gym including men, teenagers like myself, women and even a few people from the UK which was nice to hear a few familiar accents. Everybody I met was welcoming, very nice and did their best to not make me feel like an outsider. The head jiu-jitsu coach Antun was a really good help by always making sure I understood the technique and breaking them down if I didn’t.Whether you’ve trained before or looking for somewhere to start up i would highly recommend CFMA for the great facilities and the welcoming atmosphere created by the coaches and all the students.

I have been training Brazilian jiu jitsu at Complete Fitness and Martial Arts for a little over a year now, and I have to say, it's been an incredible experience.First and foremost, the environment at the gym is extremely welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was part of a community. Everyone, from the instructors to the other students, were friendly and supportive, and I never felt out of place or intimidated. This made it easy for me to focus on my training and improve my skills.But what really sets Complete Fitness and Martial Arts apart are the instructors. They are all extremely skilled martial artists and amazing teachers. They are patient and take the time to make sure I understand each technique before moving on. I always feel like I'm learning something new, and I've seen great progress in my skills since starting at the gym.In addition to their excellent Brazilian jiu jitsu program, Complete Fitness and Martial Arts also offers an outstanding kickboxing program. The instructors are knowledgeable and skilled in this discipline as well, and the classes are always high-energy and fun.Overall, I would highly recommend Complete Fitness and Martial Arts to anyone interested in training martial arts. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, you'll find a supportive and welcoming environment, and top-notch instruction.

UPDATE: I'm still at CFMA, about 3 years now, still loving it and couldn't imagine training anywhere else... with BJJ/No-Gi classes 5 days a week and open mats every day at noon there really aren't many places where you can train this often (Great for shift workers)! The level of instruction from Antun, Guy and Curtis as well as the other high level training partners is incredible, the upper belts are always looking to improve and innovate. (Note: I only do no-gi/BJJ here but the kickboxing program is top notch as well)ORIGINAL REVIEW:I've been training here for about 5 months now and loving every minute of it! There is not one big ego or bad attitude here! All the instructors are friendly and dedicated to helping their students become the best martial artists they can be! Amazing atmosphere... I know it's a cliche but it truly feels like a family! This is my happy place!

Amazing gym, friendly environment and knowledgable instructors. You will never regret it. Worth every penny. I drive from Red Deer just to be there everytime. I guess the miles that I drive and the gas I spend everytime speaks for itself. 100% recommended.

An incredible place.If you're considering starting out or continuing your training in Jiu Jitsu, I recommend this gym with all my heart.Not only is the quality of training and teaching absolutely ELITE- but the people here are some of the most kindhearted and welcoming that I have ever come across.Whether you are an experienced athlete, or a complete novice to training (like I was), you will be treated like family from the moment you arrive.I would like to thank everyone at Complete for all of the training, kindness, and motivation!

Been training here ever since I came to Edmonton some 2.5 years ago. I visited a good amount of places in the city, but I stayed here for the level of instruction and the 'friendly but rough' atmosphere. This is very much a gym of open minded martial artists working together to get better in every way!

The best gym for jiu jitsu. The kids programs are also excellent. Great coaches, welcoming atmosphere and people.

Amazing atmosphere. Everyone is so welcoming and personally vested in helping you improve. The instruction is truly world class. Compared to other gyms, especially in St. Albert, this one is not a “belt factory”… the gym truly prides itself on quality technique which demonstrated every class. Antun as the owner and head instructor shows amazing empathy and understanding while teaching absolutely beautiful Jiujitsu. Something you have to see to believe

I can’t say enough good things about this gym. This gym really is such an exceptional place. The Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing coaches are phenomenal and so incredibly welcoming. I can’t help but look forward to class! If you’re looking for a place to take your kids or start or continue your journey with jiu jitsu & kickboxing - this is the place to be!
