The people were so nice and the coach (Hussein) was very helpful. I was just in town and wanted to go for an open mat, and if I lived in Edmonton then I would consider going to this BJJ club
Very welcoming, comprehensive classes and great community
I’ve been training at Bairro BJJ for about three months now, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to join. From day one, the instructors Professor Hoss, professor Pablo, Professor Jody Dorchester, Kashi Rahaman and team have been welcoming, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. As a beginner, walking into a combat sports gym can be intimidating, but the community here creates an environment that is both safe and challenging. The technique instruction is top-tier, with a strong focus on fundamentals, details, and proper form. You get a great workout every session, but more importantly, you actually learn and progress week after week. Whether you're looking to learn self-defense, get in great shape, or compete, Bairro BJJ is an incredible place to train. High energy, clean facility, and a fantastic group of people. Highly recommended!
As someone who was completely new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this was a great place to start. Hoss and Pablo were fantastic instructors. They were patient, welcoming, and made everything easy to understand for beginners. The atmosphere was friendly, and the customer service was excellent from the moment I walked in. If you’re thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu for the first time, I definitely recommend checking this place out!
I just want to thank Barrio BJJ for being such a great and welcoming school to me and my colleague, while we were visiting out of town. The team and students were wonderful to train with. Polite, skilled and overall great people. I enjoyed the class instruction and format. This school has a great culture and I highly recommend anyone who wants to try jiu jitsu or even visiting from out of town to come train. You are in good hands at this school. Thank you to Hoss and to your students once again !
The team at Bairro is the ideal mix of extremely skilled and also very welcoming. The parent and tott class is a great way to introduce BJJ to younger kids in a supportive, friendly, environment while slowly building in the foundational movements and skills. Vic has been exceptional with my kiddo, able to engage and encourage her even when it’s a really rough day. I see the whole staff taking a skilled interpersonal and teaching approach at different levels with older students. I heard the professor sitting with other young students and speaking about values, helping one another, etc. before starting class; that’s the kind of gym I’d like my kids to attend.
Attended Bairro central for the first time while in Edmonton for work. I had requested information for their free trial class during the holidays and hadn’t expected a quick response. Not only was it quicker than expected but it was easy enough to sign up. No issues locating the gym. It’s a clean and well put together space. The class was great. Beginners would be able to jump right in and start learning easily with the level of instruction. The break downs and the attention to the participants. More experienced individuals would be able to fit right in. From my experience anyone would be welcomed openly and would feel comfortable. The live rolls were great. Would recommend this club to anyone looking to start jiu jitsu. Looking for a new location or if their kids want to get involved.
A great and welcoming space and engaged community. As an absolute beginner with little experience in martial arts, I feel welcomed and encouraged to succeed by a community at all skill levels that is glad to share support. I also get to watch incredible athletes hone their skills for competitions in a community dedicated to pushing each other. Bairro is a great place to be introduced to Brazilian Jui Jitsu, as well as an excellent training and support network for experienced competitors.
Posted 1 year agoThis is a great place to learn martial arts! Before this, I had NO kickboxing experience, but Bairro is very beginner-friendly. I had the pleasure of training with some of the instructors, Chase, David, and Sydney, who were patient and encouraging during the classes. They took into account that I had no experience, constantly correcting my form, answering any questions I had at the end of the class and taking the time to show me how it’s done right. In under a month, my body is feeling a lot stronger! I did their kickboxing, MMA and PAD HIIT classes, which were awesome. The other thing worth mentioning is the amazing community they have. Their members are kind and welcoming! Classes were a lot of fun because of the people I trained with. And yes, they have a clean gym.
Posted 1 year agoThis place is amazing. Great professors and coaches. They are very welcoming to newcomers and great with children and youth. Highly recommend this Academy for Jiu-jitsu. The life skills that are gained from this type of training are endless and very noticeable after attending for under one month. Talk to Tim about getting started!
Posted 2 years agoBairro was the first gym that I tried after moving to Edmonton and I immediately signed up! Its an amazing gym with top tier coaches and super friendly training partners. Also they are air conditioned, so you can train comfortably even in a heat wave.
Posted 2 years agoTraining at Bairro has helped me in self defense in real life scenarios and quite possibly saved my life. Training here taught me how to be a stronger and more confident person and is still teaching me how to improve those qualities. Deeply indebted to the gym and the instructors that I've encountered thus far. It's of course a wonderful experience being around amazing people. Very well managed gym with welcoming and friendly instructors.
