Great experience with the trial class. They have different options for contract duration, so you can really pick what works for your family. They also offer discounts on more than one child. The timing of their classes work well with our school schedule, so we’ve decided to join. The coaches were all fantastic. We got to speak to Joel and Richard, both very friendly and great with the kids as well. Our kids are looking forward to starting their classes

Just graduated from the beginners class. As a beginner, I’ve had a really great experience with the beginner classes here. The instructors are excellent at teaching, and what really stands out is how much attention they give to the details. They don’t just show you a technique; they explain why it works, how to do it properly, and what small adjustments can make a difference. During drills and practice, they make a point of going around and checking on everyone individually. Often, they notice what you need to correct before you even have to ask. You really feel that they care about your learning and progress. Safety is another big plus. Having been injured at other gyms in the past, I was initially a little apprehensive about training again. However, I felt safe and comfortable throughout these classes. The training partners were friendly, respectful, and controlled, and I never felt that anyone was being unnecessarily aggressive. There was always someone to partner with, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming rather than intimidating. Most importantly, I feel that I’m actually making progress here. In the past, I often struggled to learn techniques and ended up getting injured, which made it difficult to keep going. Here, I can focus on learning, improving, and enjoying the process. I would highly recommend the beginner classes, especially for anyone who is new to BJJ, feels a little intimidated about starting, or is looking for a place where they can learn at a comfortable pace in a safe and supportive environment.

Great gym with an awesome atmosphere. The coaches are welcoming, knowledgeable, and really take the time to help. The manager has also been great since day one, taking the time to explain everything to us and making us feel comfortable from the start. Highly recommend Ground X Jiu-Jitsu!

Had a great time at the Ground X open mat. The owner Joel and all the members were welcoming, friendly and very good at Jiu Jitsu. This is a super deep room and a great place to train. Thanks for having me!

My 14-year-old recently tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Ground X, and we couldn't have asked for a better first experience. From the moment we walked in, everyone was warm, welcoming, and the dojo was exceptionally clean. We were greeted by Mo, who immediately made my son feel comfortable. He helped him get fitted with a gi, shared a few introductory tips, and placed him in a small group of four others with similar experience levels. The instructor was fantastic. He stayed with my son throughout the class, demonstrating each technique, modeling the movements, and offering encouragement and guidance every step of the way. It was clear that helping beginners feel confident and successful was a priority. If you're thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I highly recommend Ground X. It's a supportive, professional environment where beginners can feel comfortable from day one. You won't be disappointed!

Great experience so far! From the beginning, the team has been very attentive and professional. They provided all the information I needed and followed up to make sure everything was clear. My son really enjoys the classes—he has a lot of fun while learning, which is very important to us. The environment is positive and engaging, and you can tell they truly care about the kids. Highly recommended!

Just visiting from Texas and was lucky enough to find this academy. Could not ask for a nicer gym and better rolling partners here in Ottawa! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train in the Ottawa area.

I can't stress how amazing it is to have a place like ground x Jiu-Jitsu. they do open. Matt on Sundays and that helps so much when you want to practice against people from all over..... The staff and team are all very polite and friendly... 10 out of 10

Ground X is one of the best activities you will add to your kids life. From the intro, to the people at the desk to the coaches. The way they teach kids and the amount of awareness and attention the coaches pay to every single class is excellent. It’s so rewarding to have our son train here for the last five months. There is not a single coach here your kids will train with that is not talented and knows what they are doing however have to give a HUGE shoutout to coach Richard and Eric as well as Steve. These coaches are super talented, they not only bring discipline but their strictness during class makes it a great experience overall for the kids training but also for us as parents.

My kid has been training with GroundX Jiu Jitsu for the past 4 months, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere at the gym is very welcoming and inviting, and it's clear that the instructors are passionate about what they do. One thing that really stood out to me was how great this gym is for kids. My 5-year-old became very passionate about this activity , and he absolutely loved the classes. The instructors are patient and attentive, and they do a fantastic job of keeping my kid engaged and excited about this sport. Overall, the staff is awesome, the facilities are great, and the classes are amazing for kids.
