United Grappling Club

A good mix of beginner and advanced students with a number of brown/black belts in regular attendance. Great place to start your grappling journey or get some high level training in.Coach Dom has fostered an inclusive and welcoming environment for students of all athletic backgrounds and abilities.If you are intimidated by the prospect of martial arts training; Dom, Ergys, and the rest of the coaching staff at UGC will ensure you have a positive experience!

UGC is a warm and welcoming community of grapplers. I highly recommend everyone from beginners to advance to drop by and join the community. Coaches are friendly and knowledgeable and members are as well; and there’s always something new to learn from anyone!

The best part of this club is that everyone is helpful and friendly.My grappling has improved drastically in the past 8 months I've been training under Dom.They also have a wrestling class which makes you a well-rounded grappler.

Great gym to go to, many welcoming people and very nice. Lots of beginners intermediates and highly advanced individuals who will help with your grappling. The coaches Dom and Ergys are very knowledgeable and great at teaching everyone. Overall a welcoming gym with many different people.

I’ve been training at UGC for around 8 months now and I can say whole heartedly that this is one of the best locations for grapplers of all skill ranges. Dom, Ergys as well as the rest of the coaches do an amazing job at making techniques and sequences easy to understand and are extremely passionate about what they teach. The environment is always friendly and extremely inclusive so you never feel left out even if you're someone who just started the sport or is coming from another gym. The training environment also has a lot of experienced grapplers who are down to roll with anyone and everybody that enters the gym is always trying to improve their game and willing to learn new things. I can confidently say that if I had gone anywhere else I wouldn’t have improved as much as I have here and I’m sure if you're someone interested in the sport you’ll have nothing but good things to say when you come by and give it a try.

Truly a great and welcoming place to train Jiu Jitsu. Especially as a woman just starting out.I was so nervous to begin but everyone was so friendly, and Dom, as a great instructor, is always cheering on my progress.The beginner classes are actually beginner friendly. The other guys I roll with are super nice, give me live feedback to ensure I learn the moves correctly, know when to adjust to allow me to practice and when to not hold back just because "I'm a girl".There's usually people that are more advanced and they go around and help too, as the classes sometimes have a lot of people and they sometimes give specific tips for what you're struggling with. Especially if you're shorter like me, these tiny adjustments help tremendously.Dom and the other instructors push you to succeed, but encourage you to step back if you're uncomfortable with certain moves during warm ups. Dom frequently reminds us this because we know our bodies and it's important especially if you have some kind of recovering injury or even if you're just not as flexible.Really recommend this place. They do a one week free trial. Give it a shot - you won't regret it.

Guys. This is one of the only gyms where you can come in, practice great jiu jitsu, and build a brother hood alongside the people you are training with. This is not one those places where you come in and feel out of place. The first time I came in was the most welcoming experience. A bunch of high level practitioners who are looking to make you better just as much as themselves. Highly recommended. See dom the head coach!

I have trained with Dom and the rest of the instructors for a couple years now and they have a great system that cater to beginners and advanced students. They are patient and make the students feel comfortable while also addressing any questions they may have. I recommend United for all people in the GTA.

Very welcoming environment with awesome teachers and a good community. I've only been training for 3 weeks now, but the instructors Dom, Nico, Tom, Ergys, and John have all been great in helping new people like me learn and feel included. Excited to see how my grappling skills develop over the coming months with these guys.
