In 1914 a Japanese Judo and Jiu-Jitsu master named Mitsuo Maeda came to Brazil. In return for help from the Brazilian politician Gastao Gracie, Koma taught Jiu-Jitsu to Gastao’s son Carlos. Carlos in turn taught his brothers. They went on to further refine the art via constant no-rules competition, developing what is now known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ).
At Sudbury MMA, our focus is maintaining the highest level of instruction in BJJ. Our commitment has lead us to learn from and affiliate with the best team in Canada – Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts.
The majority of our students have no experience when they begin their training. Their goals include trying something new, getting a great workout, meeting new people etc…. We do however, have the most active and successful Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition team in Northern Ontario. We regularly compete in several OJA (Ontario Jiu Jitsu Association) sanctioned events as well as International events including the Pan American and World Championships. This is completely optional to our students and no pressure is ever put on students to compete.
Our classes (schedule) will generally comprise of a brief warm-up, guard-passing drills, positional drills, technique and training. We now alsohave women-only classes (schedule) for ladies who want to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and self-defence in a fun, safe, female-student only setting.
