My experience at Marcus Soares Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy was fantastic. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and supportive, and as someone with a visual disability, I truly appreciated how accommodating and inclusive the instructors and members were. I highly recommend this academy for excellent training in a genuinely welcoming environment.

I'm on my way to my 4th year of doing jiu-jitsu. Finding this gym was definitely life-changing for me. A lot great, friendly people; the teachers here are patient and very encouraging, and also very precise, right down to the smallest details. Hiro's teaching has motivated me to never miss his classes, and I have learned so much from him over the years. He really cares about your progress and wants to see you become better and better. I am truly grateful to learn from Hiro and all the other great teachers at this gym.

Our son Bennett is the youngest member at Marcus Soares Jiu-Jitsu, having started at just 4 years old, and we couldn't be happier with his experience. The coaches are incredibly patient, supportive, and skilled at working with young children while teaching real discipline, confidence, and technique. The progression we've seen in Bennett in such a short time has been amazing. His confidence has grown tremendously, his focus has improved, and he's constantly excited to attend classes and learn more. The positive environment and family atmosphere make everyone feel welcome, regardless of age or experience. We are so grateful to the instructors and the entire team at Marcus Soares Jiu-Jitsu for helping Bennett develop both on and off the mats. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an outstanding martial arts program for their child!

Joining Marcus Soares BJJ Langley has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. The last 2.5 years have been amazing not only physically but mentally as well. With an unbelievable amount of knowledge, Marcus is an amazing teacher, coach and overall person. My daughter has some anxiety around unfamiliar situations. She wanted to join but was very nervous. Marcus and Dana make it fun, respectful and so welcoming my daughter had no problems joining in quickly and comfortably. She has such a great time, her younger sister can’t wait to join. I genuinely love going to class, learning new techniques, getting an amazing workout in and being with my BJJ family. They have created such a great atmosphere that is relaxed and welcoming to absolutely everyone. Everyone is so great and open to help and make you feel welcomed from the very first time you set foot in the gym. I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. I am truly grateful for everything Marcus and Dana have provided to this point and for many years to come. Thank you so much for being so supportive in my BJJ journey.

Training at this gym has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my family. I train here alongside my 12-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son, and the impact it has had on them has been incredible. The gym truly feels like family. Marcus is an exceptional teacher who has created a safe, welcoming environment where learning never stops. My kids love training here and have already learned so much from Marcus, Dana, and all of the coaches. Beyond the techniques, they’ve gained confidence, resilience, perseverance, and determination. I’ve watched them grow stronger not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, and they’ve made great friends along the way. We train together as a family on Saturdays, and even after their sessions, the kids are excited to stay, hang out, and support each other while I train. Even my 4-year-old can’t wait for the day he’s old enough to join in. I genuinely love this gym and the community that’s been built here.

Our journey here started 2 years ago and we are loving it. My son started first, and my husband joined a year later. Of all the jiujitsu gyms in the area we picked Marcus’ cause who wouldn’t want to learn from the highest level Grand Master in Canada! The gym is great on so many levels, the teachings, the community and the care and encouragement Marcus gives all his students. We’re very happy with our decision to “give it a try” that ended us here, highly recommend :)
