I’ve known Areef for about 10 years, and over that he has always wanted to help me with my Jiu Jitsu. I’ve had a lot of fun rolling and training with him over the years. He’s putting a lot of effort into building a positive jiu jitsu community and creating a welcoming environment for people to train. If you’re looking for a good group of people and a solid place to train, this gym is definitely worth checking out.

Highly recommend Moyo Jiu-Jitsu in Ajax, Ontario! My kids have been training here for about a year now, and it’s been an incredible experience. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about helping each child grow not just in jiu-jitsu, but in confidence, discipline, and respect as well. What stands out the most for us is the environment and community that Professor has built there. My son has always been very hesitant when it came to sports and activities. We tried basketball, soccer, and a few other things, but nothing ever really stuck, and he never wanted to continue. Moio Jiu-Jitsu has been the complete opposite. This is the one activity he genuinely looks forward to and wants to keep going back to every week, and I truly believe that’s because of the amazing coaching and supportive community. In fact, we loved it so much that once the kids were settled in, we decided to join ourselves! Being part of the classes and the culture has been so rewarding, and it’s all because of Professor’s great teaching and the sense of purpose he instills in everyone. From day one, they’ve created such a welcoming atmosphere that makes the kids feel comfortable, encouraged, and excited to learn. You can really see the passion they have for what they do and the positive impact it has on the kids both on and off the mats. We’re so happy to be part of the Moyo family and highly recommend it to any parents looking for a great place for their kids and even themselves to learn and grow!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Moyo Jiu Jitsu and the community they’ve built. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, supported, and part of something special. Professor Arif is truly incredible - he is patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and amazing with both kids and adults. He has such a positive way of teaching that builds confidence, discipline, and respect while still making classes fun and engaging. Our kids absolutely love coming here, and we’ve seen so much growth in them both on and off the mats. What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. It’s more than just a jiu jitsu gym - it feels like a family. Everyone is supportive, uplifting, and genuinely cares about one another. The sense of community here is unlike anything we’ve experienced anywhere else. We are so grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing environment to learn jiu jitsu, grow in confidence, and be part of an incredible community.

After checking out several Jiu-jitsu Academies for my son, we found that MOYO is the absolute perfect fit for us. The class sizes are just right from day to day. Some days there are plenty of kids to have enough partners to train with. Some days there are one on one or a couple pairs of partners to the class. This worked out great because the coaches and Professor Arif are able to pay close attention to each student and teach them on a more personal and focused level. We also found that Professor Arif is great with our son; patient, consistent and focused on small improvements. He instills that professionalism and class in his coaches too. The welcoming, clean and bright atmosphere is a bonus. One thing that stands out the most with this academy is that Professor Arif is not only training kids in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, but mainly trying to raise and create good humans for the future. We see that in every class. Jiu-jitsu is a tough sport but MOYO makes it fun and a fulfilling. After seeing my son grow, develop and change, I too have started training here, and I absolutely love it! I would recommend this academy to everyone who wants to become a better version of themselves.

Moyo Jiu Jitsu is an exceptional academy. Professor Arif is a patient, highly skilled instructor, and has earned an immense level of trust and appreciation from me through training my three kids (ages 12, 10 and 8), and myself. His classes are thoughtfully structured and build on one another, ultimately resulting in a clear and effective system for both sport and casual jiu jitsu. The welcoming, supportive culture at Moyo comes directly from Professor Arif’s leadership, and it’s inspiring to see how genuinely excited and engaged the students are. Highly recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about MOYO Jiu-Jitsu! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely welcomed and at ease, which says a lot because I’m a total beginner. The vibe here is super positive, and the community is friendly and supportive. What really sets this place apart is the instructor. He has an incredible way of breaking things down so that even someone with zero experience (me!) can understand and actually do it. His teaching style is clear, patient, and seriously effective. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students learning and improving. If you’ve ever been curious about trying Jiu-Jitsu, this is 100% the place to do it. MOYO makes the journey exciting, empowering, and most importantly - fun!
