My son attends this jujitsu school in Vaughan. He is having by far the best experience out of any activity he has participated in. Coach Matt is amazing. He’s patient, funny, entertaining and has my son fully engaged. I strongly and highly recommend this jujitsu school in Vaughan which is close to Toronto as well.

Mike Aviado is an excellent instructor with a fun and unique teaching style. He explains techniques in a way that makes it super understandable. If you are in Vaughan and looking to learn Jiu-Jitsu, check out this academy!
