"the people that do jiu jitsu and train jiu jitsu have healthy egos because they face reality on a regular basis, martial arts are a vehicle for developing human potential and nothing in my life has ever put me in face with reality better then jiu jitsu". if you are looking for high level serious training in the art of Brazilian jiu jitsu look no further then Island Top Team. come in check out the club. we have the best atmosphere for learning. honestly I cant thank professor rob enough for bringing jiu jitsu into my life and helping me become a better person every single day. I wouldn't change my club and the people I train with for anything and I can guarantee if you give jiu jitsu a serious chance you probably will fall in love with it also.
Excellent training, clean space, friendly team. High recommend you stop by here on your travels. Rob has a wealth of knowledge that you won’t find anywhere else in the country.
Dropped into Island Top Team Jiu Jitsu while on vacation and had a great experience! I was a little nervous heading into class knowing we’d be working on leg entanglements as it’s not an area I’m well versed in. Luckily, Rob taught in a really clear, conceptual way that actually made it easy to understand and remember. I was able to drill something new, feel like I actually understood the concepts and wasn’t just trying to memorize steps which I’d forget after class. Really enjoyed the class and the instruction. Definitely recommend checking them out if you’re in Nanaimo!
Was in town and did a drop in. Rob was very friendly and welcoming. Learnt a lot from just 1 class. Much appreciated for the hospitality! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
Great rolls, people, and Rob is a great coach. Free visitor drop-in was a bonus.
Ive been training here for about the last 3 years, and I have severely improved in my skills and understanding of jiujitsu, as well as making connections with such an amazing community. The coaches are amazing at what they do and have the best personalities haha.
I learned about the concepts Rob teaches by rolling with one of his black belts in Vancouver. During this roll, I remember thinking “wow, there are zero opportunities for me to take advantage of… I’m in trouble”, which I now understand was because of his Alignment. After that, I got Rob’s instructional with Stephan Kesting on the core concepts of BJJ and it is the most succinct explanation about ‘why’ things work or don’t work out there. I’m not local so am not a member of this gym, but felt compelled to share that if I was, I definitely would be.
Thanks Rob and all the students for welcoming us to your bjj dojo! The level here is high quality, in control and based on concepts like we’ve never experienced before! And every students were friendly and helping us with new material. :) In only 1 week, we experienced a jiu-jitsu based on concepts and principles that changed our perspective on how to do bjj at a better level. I encourage anyone to do the visitor program for a week so they can experience the same level of eye opening in our jiu-jitsu!
Thanks Rob and Island Top Team for making me feel so welcome as a visiting student! Loved my week training here working on my jiu jitsu and really learnt a lot from Rob’s insights which solved problems I’ve been having for a long time. Make sure to be around for a Thursday night class Jiu Jitsu development followed by an hour of FYJJ rounds, which honestly were so fun and helped me improve a lot in a short amount of time. Make it over to Nanaimo from Vancouver and you definitely won’t regret it! Awesome people and jiu jitsu here. Thanks again Rob and his team for having us, a bunch of absolute legends!
