Amazing place to train. I had the honor of learning from Prof Veltman. A warm welcome with a nice group of students ranging in experience, and competitive but friendly rolls. Prof Veltman is a really special coach, both in his technique but also his warmth and care for everyone. I'll be back next time I'm in Guelph!
Both my daughter and I have had a great time training here. We are both new to BJJ / martial arts. Can’t say enough good about Professor Rob and the other instructors (and Mary!). The atmosphere at the gym is friendly and encouraging. The kids classes are dynamic and fun, and it’s clear that the kids are having a blast. My daughter is always eager for class even when she has had a busy day, which to me is the biggest indicator that they are doing something right here. The adult classes are a great workout, and the instructors are very supportive and friendly. The other members training were also welcoming and supportive.
My 5-year-old son has been training at Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Professor Rob, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Professor Rob is an exceptional instructor, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in each student's growth. He creates a fun and safe environment where kids build confidence, respect, and valuable life skills while learning Jiu-Jitsu. We've seen tremendous growth in my son's confidence and abilities since joining. I highly recommend Professor Rob and Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to any parent looking for an outstanding martial arts program for their child.
I started training at Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu about a year ago, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. Everyone was incredibly welcoming from day one, and the professors are knowledgeable, patient, and always happy to answer questions. Every class teaches you something new in a safe and supportive environment. If you’re looking to improve your jiu-jitsu while training with great people, I can’t recommend Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enough.
We couldn’t be happier with these Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! The instructors are amazing—patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. They create a positive, supportive environment where children can build confidence, learn discipline, and develop new skills while having fun.
My kids absolutely love coming to class and look forward to every session. We’ve seen such a positive difference in their confidence, focus, and respect since they started. I highly recommend these classes to any family looking for a welcoming and encouraging place for their children to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Five stars!
Royal City Brazilian BJJ is a great environment. I started BJJ back in January with no prior experience and they welcomed me in and were very kind since day one. Very knowledgeable professors/teachers and everyone is always willing to help you improve your game.
Joining Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a woman was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Starting something new can feel intimidating, especially stepping into a combat sport with primarily males, but the environment here has been incredibly welcoming, respectful, and supportive from day one.
The professors are knowledgeable, patient, and do a great job breaking techniques down so beginners can learn without feeling overwhelmed. They create a space where everyone is encouraged to grow at their own pace, regardless of experience level or fitness level.
As a female student, I’ve felt comfortable, included, and treated like a valued part of the team. The culture is positive, ego-free, and focused on learning rather than intimidation. Training here has not only improved my fitness, but also my confidence and mental resilience.
If you’re a woman thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but feeling nervous to start, book a trial class because Royal City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an amazing place to begin. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive community and high-quality training.
My son is 4, he’s been attending for a little over 3 months. He is the smallest and youngest in the class and that can be daunting. However, Professor Rob is so patient and kind with him which makes all the difference. Our son looks forward to class and seeing all of his friends and the staff. Highly recommend Guelph BJJ.
