What a great experience!
I was on town for a couple of days and I quickly and seamlessly arranged for two training sessions by email. Super efficient.
The 1st train was excellent, top class category. Many partners to choose from. Great attitude on the mats from everybody, with teacher Vincent conducting the evening classe. I ended up doing two trainings because the schedule is so good!
Can’t wait to go on to morning class now. OSS!
Both my boys have been coming here for almost a year. They are 5 and 8 years old. They really enjoy it and Love there masters. I like the flexibility of when they have.
This place is phenomenal! If you want to get good at the art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. You have to try this place. Shout out to the owner Josh and to the staff I met...Jorge and Nathan.
I have been training at Toronto BJJ for the past 4 years. It has been an amazing experience. From the very first day I felt welcomed by the staff. The coaches also compete and are extremely knowledgeable, though there is no obligation to compete - there are hobbyists and competitors alike at this gym. There 30 day trial is also a great way to dip your toes into BJJ. I highly recommend trying out the sport and doing it here!
Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome during my visit to Toronto. Your facilities are great and your instructors are world class 10/10. I would highly recommend your club to any person interested or currently training Brazilian ju-jitsu. Best wishes and I really hope to visit again in the future.
Nacho will change your life. He will get you hooked on this. Ask when you sign up for your 30 day trial if you can have a lesson with him. Come in with respect and an open mind. Sensei Sean is an OG. If you have a class with him you’ll attain life wisdom. If you are blessed they will give you some knowledge on life that will change your own perspective on your own life. Keep going.
Was in Toronto for the day, popped in to Toronto BJJ, everyone was so welcoming and friendly, they have a beautiful mat space and great instructors, Nacho ran the gi class, he gave excellent instruction and was super friendly.
Whether you're new to training or been at for some time, I highly recommend checking this place out!
Great place to train! Brilliant teaching and a strong sense of community. So grateful I got a chance to train here while I was visiting Toronto, everyone was so warm and welcoming!
Good instructors but the place is small and overcrowded and can get very stinky with poor ventilation and dirty mats. It's way too overcrowded for the size. Good instructors though
I trained at Toronto BJJ for almost 2 years and had the most wonderful experience with my instructors. They have coaches of all types for everyone. They were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about their students and their sport and you can feel it. My concerns are not at all with them, but with the administration and how my membership issues were handled.
During my membership, recurring ringworm infections kept me off the mats for extended periods. As a result, I accumulated a substantial amount of "saved time" under the understanding that it would be available for me to use. It was only near the end of my membership that I was informed there were restrictions on carrying that time forward. I was unable to find these restrictions clearly communicated to me previously, and had I known about them earlier, I would have made different decisions regarding my membership purchase.
I also raised concerns about ringworm awareness and prevention. When I asked my fellow students if they knew what it was- most of the white and blue belts were not familiar at all. I suggested educational posters in the bathroom as I had seen at other schools, or regular reminders regarding symptoms, hygiene practices, and staying off the mats while infected as part of the closing class chat. I was told by the administration that this type of messaging would scare off potential students. I was also told that my recurring infections may have been related to my own health. I had trained at multiple other schools, and since moving to another academy permanently, I have not experienced these every other week ringworm cases.
After learning that I would lose a significant amount of unused membership time, I made multiple attempts to discuss the matter and seek a reasonable resolution. My emails went unanswered. When I eventually advised that I would share my experience publicly if the matter remained unresolved, I received a voicemail stating that management viewed this as extortion. I disagreed with that characterization and was disappointed that, after months of trying to address the issue privately, the focus was placed on my intention to leave an honest review rather than on resolving the concerns I had raised.
I am sharing this experience because I believe membership policies should be communicated clearly prior to purchase, and member concerns should be addressed openly and transparently. I have a great deal of respect for the instructors who taught me. My concerns relate solely to the administrative handling of this situation.
