Hands down one of the best gyms out there! The facility is always clean, the atmosphere is always welcoming, and the coaches, truly exceptional. What sets this gym apart isn’t just the level of jiu-jitsu instruction, but the quality of people behind it. These coaches are more than just incredible instructors — they’re genuinely good people, outstanding role models, and exactly the kind of individuals you want surrounding yourself and your kids. They lead by example, teaching not only skill and discipline but also respect, humility, and character. You can teach someone jiu-jitsu, but the kind of character these coaches bring to the mats is something truly special. Can’t recommend this gym enough!
Outstanding coaches and community. Highly recommend.
I’ve had a great time working out there. There’s a good sense of community among the regulars. And they go easy on us old guys. Coaches are excellent.
I am happy to have my child taking BJJ classes here. The environment is very nice, the people are friendly and the coaches are awesome. Everyone is very respectful and the kids learn beyond BJJ. They learn discipline, respect for their friends, spend energy and learn self-defence, and help their self-esteem.
such a great environment and flexible hours. Be prepared for coach Janine and her dad jokes lol
We love it here! All coaches are excellent and my daughter has learned so much in such a short period of time. Definitely, highly recommend
I had a great time training at Oshawa BJJ! The gym is clean and well-organized, and Janine and Igor are incredibly knowledgeable. They’ve built a welcoming, respectful community that’s great for all experience levels.
Amazing Jiu-Jitsu academy! The level of training is outstanding. Janine and Igor are World Champions, incredible athletes, and excellent coaches. If you're looking to learn from the best, I highly recommend this gym.
M and S really enjoyed their session at Oshawa BJJ and had an excellent experience from start to finish. We truly appreciated the opportunity to train with Igor and Janine—they were both incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive. M and S are two very busy, energetic boys who don’t always listen to instructions right away, but Igor and Janine did an amazing job keeping them engaged and on track in a calm, respectful, and positive way. Their patience and ability to connect with the kids really stood out. The academy is very well organized, exceptionally clean, and has a respectful atmosphere that makes it a pleasure to be in. You can tell they take great pride in creating a professional, welcoming environment for everyone. Although we’ve since moved to another province, we’re very grateful we had the chance to train there and would highly recommend Oshawa BJJ to anyone looking for outstanding instruction and a great place to train.
I had a great experience visiting Oshawa BJJ from Vancouver! I joined a couple morning classes while visiting my hometown, I grew up in Oshawa and was excited to roll at a local gym. The guys who were present were very welcoming and invited me in with open arms! Thank you Octavio for your insight, tips and coaching during my visit! When I come back to Oshawa, I will be sure to drop in again! Oss!
Highly recommend Igor, Janine, and their entire coaching team! They’ve created a stellar environment that focuses on skill-building and character development for the kids. The community here is incredibly welcoming and supportive. You'll see the kids celebrate each other's victories and be quick to give others encouragement if things don't go their way. Bring your kid in for the trial classes - I bet you'll hear excited stories on the drive home.

Oshawa BJJ has been an outstanding experience for my son. The coaching staff is knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in their students’ development. They create a structured, supportive environment where kids can learn solid technique while building confidence and discipline. The culture is welcoming and respectful, and it’s clear the coaches genuinely care. I highly recommend Oshawa BJJ for any parent looking to get their child involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Oshawa BJJ and Fitness is imo the best choice. Ive trialed at the other gyms mentioned, except Four Eleven. All of them have thier strengths and all i would consider to be good gyms. I have a RL friend who trains at Four Eleven, and I coach kids at comps and have had nothing but great experiences with those Four Eleven guys. That being said, Igor and Janine are world class practioners and coaches. They are still competeing and winning at the highest of levels. They bring practial BJJ knowledge for all levels and have a way of teaching that everyone can follow along. Unlike some gyms, we go live a lot through postional sparring and live rolls. We get an oppurtunity every clas to implenment what we were just taught. The focus on BJJ yes, but its more about fostering a family like environment and encouragment of growth. Ive trained at 3 gyms in just over 3 years in BJJ (due to moving for work) and ive never felt more at home! I travel from Peterborough to Oshawa 5-6 times a week with my Son, who also trains. We could not be happier!
