Our Philosophy

Toronto BJJ was founded, because of person's love of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. However, he had a difficult time learning the art.  He came to realise that for him only world class instruction would do. Eventually, the need to offer not only great BJJ instruction, but a place where people could train all the elements necessary to compete in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions such as the UFC, became apparent. From these simple ideas Toronto BJJ was born.

It is our firm belief that everyone should have the best instruction from day one.  Whether you have never trained before or are a BJJ Black belt, this is where you should train.

At Toronto BJJ we want to provide everyone with the best instruction.  That is why we hire the best to teach us.

We believe that regardless of your goals or ability, you and your family deserve the best.

Also, we understand that many of us simply want to get a little exercise, have some fun, and learn some neat stuff.  We have created an atmosphere where you can train at your own pace.  We simply want to share the joy of training these incredible arts.

We believe firmly that in addition to having great instruction and training facilities, that the people who train here play a key role in making us such a great place to learn, exercise, and achieve. Our environment is based on helping to build eachother up, which makes everybody better in the process.

Toronto BJJ is a team and a family. That is why we will not compete against each other in open competition, nor do we list the name of individual students when recapping competition results.  We truly believe that since we train together the results are shared by all.
