Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class

Juniors

Tiny GI

This is the perfect class for young kids who want to develop coordination, discipline, and important values like respect and teamwork!

Tinys offers a fun and safe environment to introduce kids to the exciting world of jiu-jitsu, where they will learn the basic movements and techniques that will set the foundation for their journey.

Junior Gi 8+

Junior class is the next class up for ages 8 years and above. Here you can still learn the basics & advanced strategies in a similar age group.

This structured learning environment is perfect for juniors who want to develop and advance their understanding of the sport. Opportunities to compete in local tournaments can put their skills to the test and show off their progress.

Junior No Gi 8+

The class is perfect for juniors who are eager to develop their skills and take their understanding of No-Gi JiuJitsu to the next level.

Without the added grips and friction provided by the traditional Gi uniform, practitioners must rely on different techniques and strategies to control their opponents and execute submissions. This is more similar to the clothing that one might wear in everyday life.

Adults

You'll also be introduced to a supportive community of jiu-jitsu practitioners, making this a great place to start your journey and have some camaraderie and laughs along the way.

Adult All Levels

Adult No Gi

Our Adult No-Gi class is the perfect opportunity to refine your technique and challenge yourself in new ways.

Testimonials

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Junior Gi and No-Gi championships

If you are in the Bradford/Halifax area and you love Jiu-Jitsu, it doesn't make sense to train anywhere else. Family feel with top class professor.

- Jason Wade

Excellent instructor, I'm not a regular student here. But I would recommend to anyone wanting to study BJJ. It's a place where blue belts roll like they're purple belts, that speaks volumes about the quality of what is been taught.

- Isa

Both of my children come here and I would recommend it to anyone. Very supportive and encouraging. Family friendly from young kids to adults.

- Shaun Martin

Amazing place and amazing people! Friendly and professional. 100% recommend to everyone.
