Professor Ahmad is a dedicated instructor, great mentor and father with a healthy lifestyle, great to see his success and growth. A great example for building strong minds and creating leaders in the community, with his evident positive energy, the minute you meet him. Highly recommended for structure,guidance and lifestyle for children and all the way up to pro Mma fighters.

We brought our two boys (ages 11 and 7) for a trial Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, and they had an amazing time! The instructors were patient, encouraging, and great with kids of different ages. They not only had fun but also learned valuable self-defense techniques and built confidence in a positive, supportive environment. Both of them can't wait to come back. Highly recommend for any parent looking for a fun activity that also teaches discipline and practical self-defense skills!

I started my jiu-jitsu journey at at True North Jiu Jitsu Academy for 7 years, and overall it was a great experience. The owners and instructors genuinely care about their students and work hard to create a respectful, welcoming environment on the mats. Training is well structured and challenging without being overwhelming. I appreciated the academy’s proven success in developing high-level MMA fighters. It’s clear that their approach to jiu-jitsu translates extremely well to real fighting and MMA contexts, and that level of technical depth benefits everyone in the room, not just competitors. You’re learning jiu-jitsu that actually works. Add their focus on overall health with yoga, sauna, cold plunge and strength training programs. You have a one stop shop for health, fitness and self-defense.

I’ve trained at True North Jiu Jitsu Academy and can confidently say it’s one of the best gyms around. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each student’s progress, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner. The environment is welcoming, clean, and very respectful, which makes it a great place for both adults and kids. Classes are well structured, challenging, and always focused on real technique and safety. You can really tell this academy has been built with passion and years of experience. Highly recommend True North Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking for high-quality training and a strong community.

And if you want to get into a really healthy hobby as an adult without running into guys with egos or attitiudes like some other clubs this is a really great and family oriented club. I just cant say enough good about True North Jiu Jitsu. An amazing environment to learn !

I had my first BJJ class last night and it was such an incredible experience. Thank you professor Ahmad and the team for making me feel welcome right off the bat. This place is something special. I feel like this is something I have needed in my life for a long time and I am very grateful that I came across True North. See you guys soon. Ryan.

What a great family friendly gym ! My son trains jiu jitsu and we like to check out other gyms occasionally. We received an invite from coach Ahmad to try a class and it was a friendly, fun experience. Even though he trains regularly my son still has a bit of anxiety going somewhere new. No problems here because of the warm cheerful greeting from coach Ahmad and his students. My son had a great training session and is eager to return. I would recommend this gym to anyone, kids, families, adults , competitors or anyone just wanting to try the sport. Thank you Ahmad for inviting us out to train !

We started going to True North 6 years ago when my eldest son was only 6. After a break during the Covid years, we returned and so glad we did. My son was nervous at first because he had stopped jiujitsu for so long but just like 6 years ago, the instructors now, like Coach Matheus, was super patient and encouraging. Their positive energy helped build up my son’s confidence to where he recently competed in a tournament again. The gym is great for families and now my youngest son is training as well and loves it every class.

I felt very welcomed at the gym on my first day, especially with the free trial classes they offered at the start. Great place for all skill levels, whether you’re brand new to BJJ or seeking a more competitive experience. The professors are fantastic—always positive and dedicated to making each class unique and engaging every week.

From the first day I started training expectations were may clear. A lovely community of people provide a great experience. The professors have a positive attitude of respect, growth and safety that they have I stilled in their students. The facility is clean and well maintained. I have been training here for 2 years and will continue to do so.
