Having just moved to Canada a few months ago (& also have never been to this country prior) I felt very anxious stepping foot into the Grappling Garden. However, from the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by an incredible community. Andre, McKenzie, and the rest of the coaches are not only top-notch professionals but also genuinely supportive and motivating. I instantly knew I found my second home.They offer a variety of classes throughout various times during everyday of the week so there’s definitely something for everyone. What stands out to me is their training methods. We play “games” and try to problem solve various situations both in top/bottom positions. I’ve been on a plateau for a long time before stepping into the garden, but I believe that since training here my understanding of grappling has finally started to grow again. More importantly, the confidence in myself, on and off the mat, had been reignited.If you're looking for a place that will not only help you grow as a grappler but also empower you as a person, the Grappling Garden is where you need to be!

The Grappling Garden provides high-level coaching across a variety of grappling disciplines, with the classes accommodating different experience levels and availability. The community is welcoming and supportive, something the gym has put time and effort into fostering by hosting events like beach days and social gatherings. If you're interested in competing, the competitive program is essential in helping you track your progress and develop in a structured manner.Despite having only trained here for a year, I really can't sing the gym's praises enough. Its been a massively positive influence on me, and if you're even slightly interested in training grappling martial arts i think its the best in-class by a mile. I highly recommend taking a trial class to see for yourself. Hope to see you soon! :) Less

Amazing gym, coaches, and community. Highly, highly recommend The Grappling Gardens for your specialized Jiu-Jitsu and boxing training!!

Best gym in the area!

This gym is unique, no drills and all games. And when you’re playing a game, the learning happens quicker and more intuitively to your own style.

10/10 community, 10/10 coaching, 10/10 facilities, 10/10 all around. Couldn’t recommend a gym more

A little update after several months of attending daytime classes more than evening classes:What stands out for me about the Grappling Garden is how welcoming and caring all the members are. There are all kinds of people there, including some professional MMA fighters who can sometimes seem intimidating based on appearance alone. But they’ve all been kind and considerate to me as an older white belt who is extra cautious to avoid injury.Extremely positive, supportive, and welcoming club. Andre and his team are building a true community here. I’m in my 50s and new to the sport, which is really challenging. I honestly don’t know if I’d still be doing it if it weren’t for the people and culture here. Also great coaches for kids — calm and compassionate while pushing them to grow physically, emotionally, and mentally (just like in the adult classes). Less

As a woman starting martial arts for the first time it was comforting to know how safe the men were when rolling. No one has ever been overly aggressive or suggestive, given how close you are to someone when you roll. There are also classes for women if you are more comfortable with women.This gym creates a genuinely and immensely positive atmosphere that fosters a growth mindset. This attitude is clearly demonstrated through its staff, and it trickles down onto the gym's patrons. Essentially, there is no one you can’t approach and ask for help, and people will genuinely help you.Uniquely, the learning approach the gym uses to teach is based on using your intuition, which fosters creativity during rolls. I have issues with overly repetitive learning structures and value that this gym is an environment that encourages creative and intuitive thinking. Less

You will find a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym that offers top-notch coaching, amazing and inspiring community, and a place to challenge oneself and reach new heights.

From the moment you walk in, you're met with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The people here are approachable, and there's a refreshing absence of huge egos, making it a safe and supportive environment for all levels of grapplers.When I moved across Canada knowing zero people in the city, Grappling Garden quickly became a place where I felt at home. The community made it easy to form genuine friendships, and I was able to connect with like-minded people almost instantly.The training itself is top-notch. The gym takes a constraint-led approach to learning, which allows you to develop skills through guided exploration and positional problem-solving. Whether you're a beginner looking to build a solid foundation or an experienced practitioner seeking to refine your game, there's something for everyone. If you're serious about high-level jiu-jitsu, this is the place to be.The facility is beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of mat space to accommodate large classes without feeling crowded. Safety is a priority here, and the instructors foster a culture of controlled, intelligent training.Overall, Grappling Garden delivers an exceptional training experience.

Coaches are great!Great community to be apart of!

I’ve been to a few different BJJ clubs, this is the best by far. There is a clear, conscious passion and care that shows up in every level at this club: the classes and how they are taught, the attention paid to the psychological aspects of learning and growing in a skill (inside and outside BJJ) the effort put into creating a culture and a community, and even the look and feel of the gym itself....

The coaches are great and the style of training is really good for quick development.

Grappling Garden is a home away from home.

You can train one day per week or 7 days per week if you want. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive in your growth. The people are awesome. Everyone i... More
