My girlfriend and I tried this studio out recently as beginners. The staff and community are very supportive and welcoming! We are excited to attend more training and to get to know everyone better!
I have been training BJJ for over 10 years and have recently discovered this gym to be the most fun and welcoming group I have encountered. Awesome facility with nice details and well maintained. The professors are absolutely dope. Awesome group of folks with solid skills to share and learn from. It is also a great source for top-quality gear. Highly recommend.
I've been training at Tried And True for several months now, and I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and supportive community. The instructors are top-notch—highly knowledgeable, patient, and always eager to help you improve, no matter your skill level. The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere for learning and growing. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced practitioner, Tried and True has something to offer. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their BJJ game to the next level!
Aight LISTEN UP. If you're looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym to join in Calgary, look no further. This is THE Jiu Jitsu gym to be at. First things first, the coaches are actually so awesome and funny and great teachers. Secondly, I'm a young woman, so having a gym to train at where myself and other women can feel totally comfortable, safe, and welcomed is a big deal-- and this place checks those boxes off. There is a big group of ladies there who I love working with... LOVE TO SEE IT!! The whole place is super clean, every single person I've met here has been kind, supportive and easy to get along with, and I've learned so much since I first joined. Having a real solid community makes all the difference for real. The energy here is always upbeat and never fails to put me in a good mood. I can guarantee you that if you're 100% new to the Jiu Jitsu game and wanna try it out, even if you're shy, socially awkward and a little weird (like me), or unsure, you'll walk out with a positive experience. Same goes for long-time BJJ athletes too. Not sponsored btw.
My daughter and I moved into the area a few years ago and were looking for a new club to join. We tried several in town, and had ok experiences. We came from a really great academy and had high hopes of finding something similar and lucked out when we came across Tried & True. We tried 1 class and loved it right away. The atmosphere was very chill, and the people were very welcoming. The quality of instruction was top notch and Coaches Emily and Brad are very patient (and hilarious). There are lots of women partners for my daughter to train with which is great. The techniques are legit. The facility is VERY clean and the mats are top quality. You want to roll with competitors, no problem. There multiple black belts and everything right down to new white belts. Are you brand new and just want to get in shape and learn some self defense, no problem. If you are looking for a fantastic club to join, or are visiting Calgary and looking to drop in, hit them up. You won't regret it.
I have been training at Tried and True since 2021. Since coming to this gym and training under Professor Emily and Brad. I have seen a big change and improvement in my Jiu-Jitsu skill set. In addition, I have seen a positive impact on how I view myself and my Jiu-Jitsu skills. The Tried and True team is friendly, welcoming, and safe. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who might be starting their Jiu-Jitsu journey or has been training for some time. Come and join the CULT... I mean the Tried and True family.
This gym is literally my family’s second home. Our 3 kids started Jiu Jitsu here and now both my husband and I train too. Being a small woman (barely 5”1), I really appreciate how there are always a number of women to train with in class. The higher belts are happy to roll with you and give you pointers. Coach Emily, Brad and Ryan do a fantastic job fostering an environment where you can learn great Jiu Jitsu in a friendly, relaxed setting.
Excellent gym, feel extremely safe and welcomed as a petite woman. Techniques are explained clearly & in memorable ways by all the coaches. Community is so strong, have made so many friends there from all walks of life, yet everyone is kind, supportive & respectful. It’s definitely worth trying a free class. Super useful life skill to be learning for self defence. I started as a complete beginner, but all levels and belts are well represented.
