What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
William Meighen
"Dropped in for a holiday open mat. Super clean school- a ton of mat space (the good Fuji mats too, not any Amazon cheap mats), a sloped wall, ample storage space and two bathrooms. Everyone was very accommodating and easy going, super friendly to someone they never met before. No need to bow to any Helio pictures when getting on the mat either. Will absolutely be going back to check out their classes!"
Rubin Fraser
"BEST GYM IN YORK! Environment is always positive, fun and clean. My kid trains here and always begs me to take her to class. She’s made a lot of friends and loves training with her coaches. The coaches are dads themselves and have a great way of reaching the kids and are understanding of how best to teach them. They make classes fun but also train them HARD! from the fundamentals to more advantage training they got it here. Love the fact that my daughter will be able to defend herself when she needs to."

Brian McKee
"If you've never taken a class before or if you're a seasoned veteran of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - this is the BEST gym in the area! All of the coaches are welcoming and friendly. They all strive to make the gym a supportive, safe environment where everyone feels comfortable regardless of skill-level. And they all clearly love jiu jitsu. They also keep the gym CLEAN! The mats are cleaned with disinfectant after every class and steamed-cleaned weekly - something that is vitally important for this sport. If you want to exercise, get in shape, learn some legit self-defense and have a blast doing it - then head to East York Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. You won't be disappointed!"
