Professor Ben is an absolute class act! Teammates at this gym are something to admire as well, as Jiu Jitsu is an intense activity, everyone at the gym understands control and technicality as this is what is drilled into the students and in turn, it ensures the safety of everyone. The moment you enter Authentic, you are welcomed into a very friendly and supportive environment. Do not hesitate to step foot into the doors of this amazing gym, be it you’re a beginner or have a background in martial arts, there is space for you on the mats!
The best bjj instruction I’ve ever had access to.
Look I’m not very good at jiu jitsu, but I’ve been around many different schools in BC, AB and abroad and in my opinion, the instruction is very high level at Authentic.
I competed against Vince Chan and was inspired by his calmness, dedication, and skills. His coach/professor, Ben Kool, has a versatile, effective, and encouraging way of teaching and rolling. I visited Authentic BJJ, and I got to experience it first hand. The warm welcome to the detailed yet simple instructions and adjustments made for a fun and practical class. I'd definitely join Authentic BJJ if I lived in Calgary. Thank you. Oss.
I love training at authentic and would highly recommend it to anyone who trains jiujitsu. If you’re looking for a new gym or just visiting, this is the place to be. The gym is very clean, the members are friendly and the coaches are great teachers. All in all a great place to be.
This is easily the best gym I've trained. Ben is super knowledgeable and patient during class and pays attention to the students learning. He is fair in class, and pushes the students to be their best. There is a good variety of white belts and colored, which is essential in my mind for a gym. The atmosphere is really good here, and the students and coaches are very respectful. This gym is definitely worth checking out if you want to get into BJJ or switch gyms.
