Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) Classes in Whitehorse
Often called the game of human chess, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a ground-based martial art that focuses on grappling, takedowns, sweeps, joint locks, and strangleholds to control or submit your opponent.
BJJ emphasizes technique over strength, making it accessible and effective for people of all sizes and skill levels. It’s one of the most respected and practical martial arts for self-defense, fitness, and mental discipline.
Our BJJ classes include:
Technical Drilling to build skills
Live Sparring (“Rolling”) to apply techniques in real time
Traditional Gi Training where students progress from white belt to black belt
Monday Evening Fundamentals
Our Monday evening class (7:30-9:30pm) focuses on the fundamentals of BJJ. Designed for all levels, this class builds strong fundamentals in the gi — from grips and base to essential positions and submissions. Perfect for beginners and experienced students alike. It’s a great place to build confidence, refine technique, and focus on the essentials, whether you’re new to jiu jitsu or looking to strengthen your foundation in the gi.
What to Wear: Uniform and Gear
All regular members are required to wear a BJJ gi (traditional kimono uniform) in class.
We sell gis and white belts at the gym. You’re also welcome to bring your own or buy one elsewhere.
New students in Free Trial classes do not need a gi, and can start in regular gym clothes like a t-shirt and shorts. We also have loaner gis available for new students to use.
Please arrive to class with clean clothing, trimmed nails, and jewelry removed.
