Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts. There is no striking, punching, or kicking, so it is a great way for kids to learn how to fight in a safe and controlled way.

At Ancaster Jiu Jitsu, we have coaches assisting the students and managing the space to ensure every individual feels safe and comfortable to learn at their own pace. The floors are soft and the walls are padded for extra protection.

Yes! We have a small but comfortable space for parents to stand/sit and watch their child’s class. Many of our parents stay for the entirety of the class though it is not required.

The great thing about BJJ is its accessibility for athletes of all ages. In our accommodating classes, all age groups can find learning and fun through the techniques and drills we explore in class.

All of our classes are co-ed with exception to one women's class that takes place Saturday mornings. At Ancaster BJJ we value the equality and comfort of all our students regardless of gender, but recognize the importance of having the option of a safe space for women to explore the sport in a smaller circle before reintegrating with the co-ed classes.

Memberships renew on a monthly basis but can always be opted out by contacting us online or in-person.

We offer both NoGi and Gi JiuJitsu, but in order to participate in any of the Gi classes purchasing a Gi either through us or an external source is required. This is so we can all enjoy the sport with the proper attire at an equal and fair level.

While contacting one of our coaches via social media, email, or phone will ensure you get all the information you need prior to attending as smoothly as possible, you are welcome to make a drop in.

If you arrive during class hours one of our team members will be available to meet and direct you towards any resources you may need. We’d love to meet you!

Private sessions are available at ancasterbjj@gmail.com.
