Stasis Jiu Jitsu & Yoga

Stasis Jiu Jitsu & YogaThe perfect blend of the intensity of Jiujitsu and the mindfullness of Yoga. I’ve been attending Stasis for about 4 months now and wished I’d found it sooner. Stasis is family oriented professional and welcoming. They have classes for all ages and skill sets, a women’s only and even specific classes for law enforcement officers.Both Estefan and Bianca are passionate and effective instructors, who take pride in their academy and instruction. It shows. Lesson plans build on one another and have been meticulously thought through so that the poses, sweeps, escapes and submissions are understood.I highly recommend Stasis to anyone who’s interested in either Yoga or Jiu jitsu. Oss.

Estefan has created a great BJJ LE program! It has helped to provide me with more options when interacting with people rather than having to just go immediately to my use of force. The classes are fun, useful and a good workout! The people are great! I would highly recommend Stasis!

Absolutely amazing place to learn and develop your skills. Professor Joseph is articulate in his demonstrations, very disciplined, and provides an atmosphere inside the training area that is highly appreciated. All his students and peers highly respect the professor, and everyone is treated as equals .Highly recommend giving Stasis Jiu Jitsu a go, it’s worth every penny and you won’t regret it.The environment is rich in diversity and everyone is treated as equals.CheersPS The Yoga is amazing as well !

My son, who is 15 years old, started attended Stasis Jiu Jitsu 3 times a week just over a month ago and LOVES it! Professor Estefan is fantastic and knowledgeable! My son is always eager to attend and never wants to miss a class. All areas of the facility kept extremely clean. If you looking for a place to try Jiu Jitsu no need to look anywhere else Stasis Jiu Jitsu is the place to go!

One the best academies I've ever been to. The professionalism & level of care from Stasis is of the highest quality, and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The level of academy pride and honor is very evident throughout the facility; not only do the owners & professors show it, but the members exude a deep sense of community for their fellow members, and the facility. I am a current member at Stasis, and would sign my children up once they become eligible for the Little Heroes Program.

Bianca gave me private yoga lessons for about a year prior to opening her studio in Barrie. She was very knowledgeable and particularly adept at customizing my training to address my specific flexibility issues.Her patience and professionalism enabled me to carry on a very aggressive weight training program at age 73 without ever sustaining an injury. Her pleasant and gentle manner made it a pleasure to work with her.

Stasis is one of my favourite places to be.I’ve been training here for over a month now, and I only have positive things to say.I decided to sign up for the 7-day free trial on a whim, looking to try something new to pull me out of my comfort zone and get me active again.After an awesome initial conversation with Estefan over the phone, I was encouraged to come in that same day and attend my first class that evening followed by a yoga session.Along with Estefan and Bianca, all the students in attendance that day were very welcoming, friendly, and encouraging. Towards the end of the class, I got my first opportunity to roll with someone and I immediately felt a rush of endorphins and excitement as I settled in for a match of physical chess.Within the next few days, I signed up for the premium membership (which allows me to attend yoga classes as well as Jiu-jitsu) and what a rewarding decision it has been.It’s enabled me to improve my mental and physical health, make new friends, and learn discipline and dedication in a very enjoyable way.BJJ also has a very long and interesting history of its own, with a very large and welcoming community outside of just Stasis.As for Bianca and Estefan, not only are they both extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about teaching others, but they are also two very kind, compassionate and genuine people that are just fun to be around.If you are thinking about Jiu-Jitsu, Yoga, or just trying something new outside your comfort zone, I highly highly recommend signing up for the 7-day trial and coming in. It was one of the best decisions I could have made.

TLDR at the bottom;This is the third academy I have joined since beginning Jiu Jitsu several years ago, there was nothing wrong with the previous academy’s, but life got in the way and I had to change locations.When I returned to Barrie I was intending on returning to my previous location, but wanted to supplement my training with yoga. After searching for Yoga studios I came across Stasis, both things I was looking for in the same place with a schedule that worked for me. I began with a 1 week trial at stasis for yoga and Jiu Jitsu and immediately knew this was the place for me. Professor Estefan is incredibly knowledgeable and patient with his students and all of the students have bought in to his culture of trust and respect, there are no egos at stasis, everyone is welcoming and friendly and this is a culture that is clearly believed in and followed from the top down. Despite being in a class environment, professor Estefan has the presence and ability to take time and care with each student as they learn new techniques or improve on existing techniques. At my previous locations I always felt like an outsider when joining and even after attending for quite some time never felt like I belonged. At stasis I feel like a valued member of the team and it feels more like a close knit family.I can’t speak much about yoga as I am still very much a beginner, but Bianca is fantastic at teaching the classes, always with a friendly smile and simple instructions and assistance when needed.Overall this is the best facility I have trained at in any capacity and it is all due to what Estefan and Bianca have built here. If you are thinking about starting Jiu Jitsu or yoga, this is the place for you.TLDR; 10/10 recommend, great instruction, great atmosphere and great culture. Not a single negative aspect of this academy.

I can't even put into words how incredible my experience has been at STASIS Jiu Jitsu and Yoga Academy! Five stars just don't do it justice!Professor Estefan and Bianca have completely changed my attitude towards discipline and consistency. They've shown me that hard work and dedication can lead to amazing results, both on and off the mats. They're not just a coaches; they're mentors who genuinely cares about their students' growth.I remember being nervous when i first joined in, but professor and other team members very super supportive and helpful. No matter your skill level, they take the time to understand your strengths and weaknesses and help you improve. They are patient, encouraging, and always ready with a smile.From never taking part in any sport throughout my life to competing my first ever BJJ competition with professor on my side, it was a life changing event.The energy in the academy is infectious! The facility is clean and well-maintained, and there's plenty of space for both jiu jitsu and yoga. The class schedule is flexible and offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a challenging workout or a moment of Yin, they've got you covered.But what really sets this academy apart is the emphasis on personal growth. Professor Estefan and Bianca go beyond the physical aspect of training and incorporate mindfulness practices into their teaching. It's not just about getting fit; it's about finding balance and inner peace. I've gained so much clarity and self-awareness through their teachings.In conclusion, It's a place where you can challenge yourself, make lifelong friends, and become the best version of yourself. I can't thank both of them enough for the positive impact they've had on my life. If you're looking for an incredible journey of personal transformation, this is the place to be!Highly Recommended !!!

The best gym for jiu Jitsu and yoga.The professor makes training very enjoyable, there is never a day I don’t want to come train. He took his own time to help me get ready and cornered me for my first MMA fight. The yoga program is top notch as well. I took first the YTT class and everyday was always exciting, the knowledge I gained during the class are way above the normal! Usually “Martial Arts” gyms can be a little intimidating but the feeling you get when you walk in and train or just come in for yoga is a feeling of family and community! Even the recent move they stayed open for us to train well they were getting the bigger space ready for the students. I’m extremely thankful for Stasis gym!
