I just completed my first trial class here with Chad as the instructor, and it was fantastic. I felt uneasy going into a new gym for the first time, but as soon as I walked in, the students and instructor greeted me and made me feel welcome. The lesson was a simple technique, but Chad's knowledge and attention to detail made me feel like I learned so much already. I can't wait to attend my next class. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

Early this year, I started training BJJ at St. Catharines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Friday night women's only class. Why St. Catharines BJJ? From day one, I was addicted! All Jiu-Jitsu classes are led by incredible professors - Andrew, Chad, Rich, Tim and Vince. I always feel safe and supported in this sport/art I love. I'm forever grateful for all the support from my fellow professors and coaches - Rob, Rich, Craig and teammates. BJJ is challenging and so much fun! The community within the gym has great people who make great training partners and friends. Everyone here cares and wants to see you succeed. Classes offered are; no gi, gi fundamentals, gi advanced, open mats gi and no gi. I recommend checking out our GI fundamentals class, women's class or an open mat! One team. One Family.

I couldn't be happier since joining St.Catharines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The instruction from Professor Vince Mattei is second to none. Teaching through concepts and nuance, rather than simply memorizing curriculum, seems to bring out the best in everyone and our abilities to retain and develop. The atmosphere amongst the students/athletes is upbeat, encouraging and most importantly welcoming. I would recommend this academy and the team of instructors to anyone interested in learning BJJ.

Authentic BJJ with direct lineage to Brazil, great knowledge, great teachers especially professor Vince - We drive our son from out of town (Beamsville) to train there and we would drive farther if we had to. Professor Vince and all the coaches are skilled, welcoming and create a wonderful learning atmosphere. Our son has never loved ANY sport this much, and he is growing in leaps and bounds under the skillful experienced teaching. As parents it's wonderful to see the growing confidence this builds, the community atmosphere that St. Catharines BJJ inspires and the sportsmanlike principles being taught in the centre. We are so glad we enrolled our son here and he loves every class! Thank you to the entire St.Catharines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu family and we would recommend to anyone looking to learn BJJ!
