Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Toronto

My children and I train at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Toronto.The instructors: Joel, and Arther are seasoned practitioners, and great teachers. They know what they are doing, and they know how to teach.The Gracie Combative program: The techniques being taught are foundational, and relevant to real scenarios for self defense. You get many opportunities to practise. You also get access to an online library to review the techniques in case you forget some details. This program is built to make it easy for you to learn techniques that work.The culture: No judgment if you have trouble learning the moves. People are always patient and willing to help.My children smile while they learn vital skills during class. I have made new friends that want to submit me, and care for my well-being at the same time. I love this place :-)

I've been training under Joel and Arther for 6+ years and have had both my kids in the Munchkin program. World-class instruction, amazing (and clean!) facility and wonderful training partners. I can't recommend this place highly enough and drive past several other quality gyms to keep training here.

Around a year ago I was looking for Jiu jitsu gyms and between all the options I had, I chose to join this gym and I have not regret my decision once. Amazing instructors with a very positive environment. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Toronto, specially if you are new to Jiu Jitsu and don't know where to begin.

I have been training Jiu Jitsu here for the last 8 months and love the instructors and gym culture. Joel and Arther are world class and set the example where anyone, new or experienced, feels welcome and safe.

The whole experience at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Toronto is first class, from the welcome you receive when you walk through the door to friendliness of the students and the high-level of coaches its amazing.Some schools you may initially feel like an outsider but not at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Toronto, I was super impressed by the way my fellow students took me under their wings, made sure that I was ok and that I was not feeling left out … always looking out for my safety and encouraging me throughout the whole class.Its things like that, which show the culture at this school is what you want when you are looking for a long term and sustainable place to train…Super clean gym – Awesome students – Safety first mentality – World class coaches

I would like to start off by saying that I have had a very positive experience at Gracie Jiu Jitsu. The instructors, the curriculum and my training partners have been amazing. My development has exceeded my original expectations and on top of that, I have re fallen in love with Jiu Jitsu. Thank you so much. For anyone considering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the only place you or your children should start at. See you on the mats!

Wonderful place to train BJJ. Joel is a fantastic instructor and the whole gym has a really chilled, welcoming vibe.Would definitely recommend

I have been training for just around a year and my son has been in the kids program. I’ve had an amazing experience. Joel Gerson and his team are the best in the city. For any parent who is thinking about martial arts for their kids this is the only place they should consider to help them develop real life skills

You have to pay extraYou can find 100 more MMA gyms that’s are the right price and offer better quality service especially for the price you pay

Great facility. Exceptionally clean and spacious with a weight area. I've taken adult jiu jitsu lessons with Arther. Really good instruction. Makes techniques easy to understand even for beginners while being able to provide extra details for more advanced students. Atmosphere is also very fun, friendly, and inviting.
