Dojo Nine (formally Kodokan YYC) is a great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Lead instructors, Randy and Walton Chung are terrific black belt practitioners and instructors and they have the support of several other very qualified and experienced black belt instructors (seven black belts currently at Kodokan). The facility is clean and very conveniently located and accessible. I cannot recommend Kodokan enough, whether you are young, old, male, female, experienced or new to the sport/martial art, Kodokan has the program to help you learn and be the best version of yourself.

I attended a trial class for the first time and ended up signing up for a membership right away. The professors are highly experienced and take the time to carefully explain techniques and help students improve. What impressed me even more was how friendly and welcoming the higher belts were. They were always willing to share tips, answer questions, and help beginners learn. The atmosphere is very positive and beginner-friendly. Even if you have no experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll feel comfortable learning and training here. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey.

I have been training at Dojo Nine for several years and I can't say enough great things about it. All the Professors and coaches provide top notch instruction, the atmosphere is always friendly, and the gym is very clean! Recently I haven't been able to train much, so I reached out to Professor Randy for some private sessions. They have been absolutely amazing! Randy is extremely knowledgeable and tailors each session to my goals. And most of all, Randy is just a genuine person that wants you to succeed!

This is an exceptional club with high-level black belts. I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for many years and have experienced different gyms, and I can confidently say this one is special. I began taking private lessons with Randy last year and it’s been an incredible experience. Randy is a long-time black belt who combines high level skills with humility and an excellent teaching style. He has an amazing ability to slow things down and pinpoint exactly where you need to improve. Every session is fun, engaging, and filled with “aha” moments. Easily my favourite hour of the week. Highly recommend both the club and the private lessons.

As visiting black belts from Ontario, we had the pleasure of training at Kodokan YYC in Calgary, and we couldn't be more impressed! The dojo offers an excellent environment for martial artists of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and caters to both kids and adults. Instructors Randy Chung and Walton Chung are outstanding. They are incredibly friendly, approachable, and highly skilled. Their teaching methods are adaptable, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their experience level, can learn and grow. Randy and Walton's ability to engage and motivate students is truly commendable. The atmosphere at Kodokan YYC is welcoming and supportive, making it an ideal place to train. Whether you're a novice just starting out or an experienced martial artist looking to refine your skills, you'll find the guidance and encouragement you need here. We highly recommend Kodokan YYC to anyone in the Calgary area. Thank you, Randy and Walton, for a fantastic training experience! Dainis Nguyen and Sarah Smith

Awesome people, amazing and clean facility and the lineage and the Professors’ reputation speaks for itself. If you’re in Calgary, and considering BJJ, visit Kodokan. I don’t train here but they’re welcoming and awesome to visitors. Thank you guys!

Took a trial class here. Could not continue training with these guys due to the distance from my house, but I have nothing but positive things to say about their gym. Super friendly instructors. Really detail oriented, and they get after it.

I visited Kodokan as I was in Calgary for work and the training exceeded my expectations. Professor Walton structured the warm ups to led into the drills and was methodical in his teaching approach. I will definitely come back and train at Kodokan again next time I return to Calgary. Thank you to Angelo as well for fine tuning the details of the moves with me.
