New Era Combat Sports

The absolute best instructors in all of Ottawa for BJJ and Muay Thai, respectively. I've never seen more people become absolute monsters in a shorter time than under Peter Fazekas and Kru Jeff.Also the fact that they've always had time to raise all boats" when it comes to students is a real rarity in the fight game. So many other high level competitive schools don't have time to help the hobbyist level students along with their professionals and supernaturally talented students. They always take the time and don't leave people in the dust.Makes me wish that COVID didn't devastate the martial arts scene here and that they still had their gym in Kanata.Highest possible recommendation. I would be training there if I could make the transit regularly."

New Era is the best gym!!!! The staff is absolutely amazing! Friendly, outgoing, and always greeting their members with a smile! My son started training a few months ago and has nothing but positive things to say about the instructors and the other members!! The facilities themselves are top notch!! Would recommend New Era to anyone at any age with whatever goals they have!!

New Era is the only place you should be looking when it comes to martial arts and fitness in Ottawa. Whether you're a professional athlete looking to boost your career in sport, or someone who appreciates training for the fitness benefits and fun, New Era has it all! Even with the massive locations and roster of experienced professionals, Kru Jeff and the instructors at New Era find a way to treat every member like family. Give New Era a try, and you'll have no reason to ever contemplate going anywhere else.

I did No Gi BJJ for 5 months before the Scamdemic lockdowns were enforced. Mateo is a great teacher and a very nice guy! Met some wonderful people there as well. Very pricey however at $190 a month, which eventually made me spread that budget elsewhere. But I do miss it. Nothing like rolling. Thinking of rejoining if I get a raise.

I joined this gym in November 2021, I'm overweight and wanted to join this gym to get in shape and learn BJJ. As someone who is pretty self conscious I have to say Jeff, Peter and the rest of the team at New Era made me feel welcome right away. The team here really wants to see you achieve your goals, they'll hold you accountable but are always there to encourage you along your journey.I highly recommend New Era, absolutely top notch team.

Best gym in Ottawa for sure! I trained there for a brief four month, but it was the best time of my life, the coaches are amazing at what they do, very humble and welcoming at the same time.I usually go to Camelot location, occasionally to Kanata as well, I have made so many great friends, conditioned my body like never before. I am glad the team in New Era helped me started my martial art journey, I had to move to Vancouver due to personal reason, and will continue to train, but none the less, if you are in Ottawa, New Era is THE ONE!Hope this review helps you make your decision!

I started training at this gym in August. With help from Kru Jeff I lost 35 lbs. Even tho I'm overweight, they treated me equally and made me feel comfortable which I never really felt at other martial arts gyms. They take the time to make sure you're using proper technique and have lots of patience to teach the beginners.

All I can say is WOW!! Jeff has been amazing with me! I talked to him over phone or text for about a year before pulling the trigger and signing up for the 5 week shred program and let me tell you it was worth every penny. Since going I have lost 20lbs and feel much better about myself. The instructor I had at the Merivale location was Dave and he is fantastic! Since reopening I've been training with Mateo and enjoy the different workouts. The community atmosphere at this gym is second to none. So much that I have started bringing my children so they can be surrounded by people who are going to be supportive.
