Great place for adults and kids to train improve and advance their jiu jitsu skills. From beginner to advanced all under one roof. Great atmosphere, clean mats and bathrooms. Showers are always cleaned. I would definitely recommend this school for any age and skill level.

I started to Train Jujistu in the Valley at Gracie Barra Tarzana in Encino and I LOVE IT!! The gym is brand new, and from the cleanliness point of view it is the Equinox of jujistu gyms. The lockers are clean and spacious which is really important to me. Professor Edwin Najmi is a renowned world Champion. I can't believe we share the same mats and he is my professor. Ample free parking in the back makes this place my home away from home.

Very friendly environment, nice people and nice professors. Professor joao looks tough and harsh, but he’s such a nice guy. Professor Edwin is super friendly and a beast. I’ve Made a bunch of good friends here. The sparring is legit, we get after it, and we learn legit techniques and a good focus on escapes at the fundamental level. Grateful to be learning under the lineage of sensei romolu Barral. GB Tarzana is a world class BJJ academy and it’s a blessing to be apart of it.

Most frequent questions and answers about our Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program

Frequently Asked Questions

Will My Child Become A Bully?
We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies and have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.
We don’t require parents to stay during classes. However, we do find that parents who get involved with their kids martial arts lessons, truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. And building strong family units is important to us at Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy for our Toronto community.
Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can do sport in! Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt.😳
Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. You will find Yorkdale Martial Arts Academy in Toronto have martial arts classes for kids and adults that are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!
Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes, is that it’s an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don’t even realize that is what our highly trained Kids Martial Arts Instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun!
The best way to find out for yourself, is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You’ll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book in now! You will be glad you did!
We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!
Additionally, if you wanted some ‘me-time’? Simply drop them off, and go grab a coffee. They will greet you with a huge smile when you return, because they had SO much fun!
Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at sport. Kids martial arts classes really are an individual after school activity, that they do in a group.
The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they makes lots of great friends!
Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. Really… It’s their PASSION!
This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit a lot! Getting them active, without them realising they are learning, is our skill. Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief, that kids blossom in all areas – because of their martial arts training.
Many Toronto parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You’ll be glad they started classes! PLUS…. Most kids LOVE being ninja!
