Academia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, welcoming atmosphere, and BJJ instruction that is second to none. I've trained for a decade, in a few other academies, but this place truly feels like home.

Fantastic experience: This is one, if not the coolest gyms I've trained in. The atmosphere is so positive and the members are like a family. Always ruiting you on! Very professional but laid back. It's like stepping into a gym in Cali. If you're looking to start training strictly in BJJ, or sharpen what you already know, look no further than Academia. Even if you have some first time anxiety, I promise you will have a blast and will be well taken care of when it comes to training. Steve (the owner) really made a special place there. 5 stars all day!

Fantastic experience: What an awesome place and experienced team to work with, everyone is so friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Academia BJJ in Beamsville exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted warmly by Steve and Jeff. Their welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire experience. The instruction at Academia BJJ is truly top-notch. Steve and Jeff are not only highly skilled but also exceptional teachers. They break down techniques in a way that's easy to understand and apply, regardless of your skill level. Plus, the environment they cultivate is incredibly relaxed and inviting. There's no room for egos here—just a group of people passionate about Jiu Jitsu and eager to help each other improve. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or completely new to Jiu Jitsu, Academia BJJ is the place to be. It's a community where people from all walks of life come together to learn and grow. I can't thank Steve and Jeff enough for the wonderful experience and amazing home cooked burgers after training. I highly recommend Academia BJJ to anyone looking for a welcoming and high-quality training environment. Thank you for having me and keep up the fantastic work! Dainis

Fantastic experience: Extraordinary place for the body and mind

Fantastic experience: If you have a child who is interested in martial arts, you won't find a better program in the Grimsby/Beamsville/Lincoln area than Academia BJJ. Head instructor Steve Camara is fantastic with his students. He has a humble attitude, and is incredibly warm and welcoming. In class he keeps the kids working hard but always having fun while challenging them. He teaches details. It is not just a workout to send your child home tired, or a babysitting service. Kids learn technical points of BJJ to build the foundation they will need if they pursue it as they grow up. Students are required to pay attention and be respectful to one another. The kids get to challenge themselves and one another with fun games, that reinforce foundational BJJ positions and movements. I've been involved in martial arts for 20 years and can say it's not often you'll find a kids jiu jitsu program as good as this.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place for training of all ages. Hard working group. Well done guys I highly recommend. Hard work pays off
