Joining YYC BJJ was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Almost a year in, I still look forward to every class. Great coaches, an awesome team, and a welcoming atmosphere that pushes you to improve while making training fun. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking about starting BJJ.
Our family chose this gym for our son right after the try out class as we could see how professional they are with the kids even some are very young. They are not just being plainly strict with rules, instead the coaches are the walking text book of being firm and love, and a good amount of humor in the teaching. They pass along concepts, techniques, support that make not only my son but also us feel like they are families. Regards to fees, we chose the annual membership that really maximizes the value of each class, also the flexibility where if we have couple of days that couldn’t make it, there are always other days within the week we can make up the class. It’s been a wonderful year that my son grew so much stronger mentally and physically with them, with that brightest smile always going in and out of classes. Our family is so blessed to train with YYC BJJ.
I have been training here for over a year now and I have grown to love the sport and the gym. Instructors are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and welcoming and the culture is fantastic. Highly recommend for everyone of all ages and I am looking forward to signing up my daughter in a few years!
Scott has curated an exceptionally friendly and healthy training environment. Dropped into noon class while visiting Calgary and no less than half the class went out of their way to introduce themselves and make me feel welcome. Scott came around during drilling to offer each pair individualized feedback and the rolls were technical. No inflated egos here, just quality training. Will definitely be back.
Excellent gym! Our daughter loves sparring at only 6 years old! She's gained friends and a deep desire to further her understanding of the art. The coaches are absolutely amazing with children (to the point of near disbelief). I could never handle so many little rough housers. 😂 Our son will be joining next year!!!
My son does Jiu Jitsu here and he recently got "promoted" into a older age group class. He was super nervous about the transition and told me he wanted to quit. I brought him in to talk to the instructors about his decision. A big shout out to Ms. Cassidy who handled the situation brilliantly and managed to convince him to try the class before making a decision. He did the class and loved it! Yes they teach the physical sport at the studio but they also teach sportsmanship, resilience, and integrity. Thank you for creating a safe and healthy environment for kids to be active!
Fantastic club, very knowledgeable coaches and wonderful training partners. Whether you just want to try BJJ out or want to compete , this gym offers everything needed to reach your personal goals 🤙
I started training bjj at this gym on March 24', if you are looking for a new gym or just stopping by, this is the place that has everything Bjj has to offer.
It doesn't matter what skill level or body type you have. Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, and its alot more than folding people in their clothes. You will learn focus and discipline on and off the mat.
For me, this gym has helped me a lot along with the community I've acquainted myself with this year at tournaments and other gyms, I am truly grateful for the lessons I've been taught through this art.
The only bad thing is training with a gi during the summer time with no ac getting slowly steamed like a sauna in your own clothes, but overall, it's a wonderful gym.

Edit: I saw the reply, I'm aware we do have ac and I'm glad. I was referring to the days we turn it up😂🤟🔥
I was looking for martial arts for my daughter (4yo, 2022). She tried it, loved it, and we’ve been here ever since. She loves training with kids her age and building a solid rapport with her partners and coaches. I believe this will make a strong and positive impact on her life.
After seeing her first class, I decided to try it for myself. Professor Scott was encouraging throughout the hour-long class. My training partners took it easy on me but quickly reminded me how well they could fold the clothes I was wearing… with me in them! I wanted to know the secret ways. This was also a “life support” for my personal wellbeing when I needed it the most. Couldn’t be more thankful for the community.
If you’re looking for a new skill to learn at 4 or 40 years old… this is the place to do it. All the coaches provide excellent instruction and feedback on and off the mats.
Safe & welcoming classes. Clean & sanitized mats. Change rooms, showers, and ample parking!
Visited YYC BJJ for a class with Scott. Everyone was super polite, great rolls and very welcoming. The gym was clean, had womens' change rooms and showers (bonus for the ladies out here!). Safe place to train, I'd recommend.
