Authentic Jiu Jitsu - Martial Arts Calgary

I highly recommend Authentic Jiu Jitsu to anyone contemplating learning Jiu Jitsu. Professor Ben demonstrates a high degree of care for all of his students, the quality of the instruction and the cleanliness of the academy. I am especially impressed with the attention to safety while still promoting a challenging and competitive training environment. If you are looking for a great place to train and make friends this is the place to go.As a white belt just starting out I had some significant issues spazzing" when rolling (hopefully done with that now :) ) . Professor Ben was incredibly patient and took the time to work with me to calm me down. Once that happened rolling was a lot more fun and I was a lot more relaxed when rolling my training partners."

My children and I have been trainining here for almost two years and we love it. They have many different classes and lots of times to go so it can fit your busy schedule. We came here with no experience but with the help of the Professor and instructors we picked up BJJ quickly. Everyone here is respectful and friendly. I highly recommend Authentic Jiu Jitsu and Professor Ben.

Professor Ben is a fantastic instructor for both children and adults. Very technically focused and a constant environment of respect and training safely with your partners. Myself and my 3 children all train here, a great family activity. Highly recommended!

Clean environment, great leadership and teaching, healthy community, these are all characteristics that come to mind when talking about Authentic Jiu Jitsu. Ben has a unique teaching style that trims the unnecessary away while honing in on the minutia of techniques, mentality, fitness, etc. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a new approach to training Brazilian jiu jitsu.

Professor Ben takes a pedagogical and technical approach to teaching Jiu-Jitsu to everyone. The facilities are kept clean to a very high standard, and the moment you walk in, you know you're going to have a fantastic time.If I could have started earlier I would have, but there's no time like NOW to get started and experience something very special.

Can’t thank Prof. Ben and all of the coaches at Authentic Jiu Jitsu enough for sharing their gifts and knowledge. My oldest son has been going for almost two years, my youngest son has been going for almost a year and now I’ve started to train. The skills and discipline you get here are second to none. The way they teach goes hand in hand with their patience. They make everyone feel welcomed and train all levels with the same consistency. If you’re interested in training in Jiu Jitsu or if you want a safe and healthy way to stay in shape I would definitely recommend checking out AJJ.

Really good for families. I go here with my kids. I love the adult class and the kids love the kid's class. Prof Ben is very good technically, and he also has background as a teacher so the classes are well structured and delivered. Nobody here seems disappointed about anything. Highly recommend!

Cleanest Jiu Jitsu gym you'll ever see. Professor Ben is a rare combination of a talented practitioner and instructor. His ability to breakdown complex techniques into their basic components so that beginners and advanced students can understand is effortless.

Both myself (43) and my boys (7 & 8) train at Authentic Jiu Jitsu.Professor Ben has been amazing to train under, my boys love our gym, have developed many friendships, as have i.Professor Ben's background in teaching allows for a structured class that has greatly progressed our growth.The club also has a great amount of classes ranging from basic fundamentals to more advanced classes where you are able to test your newly developed skills.Add all this on top of the facility looking more like a spa that a martial arts gym, the place is always Very clean and immaculately kept.Highly recommend to anyone who wants to try Jiu Jitsu.
