I have been attending Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Ottawa for five months now, and my experience has been consistently excellent. Coach James has a remarkable ability to break down complex techniques into clear, detailed steps. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to answer questions. As a woman, I initially had reservations about starting Jiu-Jitsu, but Coach James ensures every technique is thoroughly understood, providing individual guidance whenever needed. Beyond the technical skills, this program has helped me gain a significant amount of confidence in my physical abilities and self-defense. For anyone interested in learning Gracie Combatives in a supportive environment, I wholeheartedly recommend this location and Coach James! P.S they also have a women empowered class !

Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a very welcoming and enjoyable gym to train at. Coach James is incredibly knowledgeable and can dissect a technique from top to bottom just like that. Whatever skill level you are at, he will help you improve your game. The environment is also super friendly. There’s not a single person who comes in with an ego that you’ll have to worry about. Would definitely recommend to anyone, at any level.
