North Vancouver Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I've been training here for 6 months and it's been awesome! Marc and Liz have created such a welcoming, safe, fun community. Training is positive and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived.

Everybody is so welcoming. It's such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. I have travelled to many bjj gyms and Mark's class was definitely a treat. He is very insightful. He doesn't just teach a move/technique. Each move taught is reintegrated into the sparring/rolling done after. He makes you think about the movement you do and why it works and what to do if it doesn't. I really appreciate the structure of his classes and his insight. I will definitely be back when I'm in the Vancouver area.

I consider North Vancouver Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a special school. The enthusiasm of Marc Marins about Jiu-Jitsu is contagious and creates a great and positive environment. He is an amazing person and skilled instructor, who really cares about his students. All techniques are demonstrated with clarity and can also be reviewed in the Gracie Academy website. I enjoy every minute I am there! I highly recommend this school!

Enjoying my experience here.Safe, friendly, supportive, clean, and a very positive/professional training environment.NVBJJ is my martial arts school of choice.I recommend this school to everyone & anyone looking to learn, grow, and become part of a loving community.Much respect to Marc and his team.

A lot of BJJ gyms out there can be quite intimidating and full of ego, NVGJJ is quite the opposite. Marc and the team have established a unique environment where safety is paramount, people support each other and having fun is encouraged. It’s clear that Marc knows what he’s talking about and cares deeply about sharing his wealth of knowledge.

I have been studying martial arts for over 25 years. Many of those years teaching. I have had the privilege of learning from some pretty amazing instructors and training with great fellow martial artists over these years. I stepped into NVBJJ last year and have found a new home. Mark and Liz run a great Gracie Jiu Jitsu program. The level of instruction is the highest that I have experienced. The entire school has a great atmosphere and energy and all of the other instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful as well. It truly is the highlight of my day. They also have an excellent children's program that my nieces and nephews have been attending for a number of years.As for the facilities, very very clean which is an absolute must for any martial arts club. Mats are always clean and disinfected regularly.
