A Haven of Mastery and Mentorship at Bravé MMA…read more.. I'm a 46 year old blue belt with at desk job. BJJ has been the best thing that i have done in my life. Nothing worth doing is easy and this goes for BJJ. The rewards are the people you meet and the knowledge you gain and share. It is very fullfilling. Additonally, for several hours a day, focusing on BJJ takes my mind off of any other problems that I have whether its a stressful job or a bad day in general. They say meditaton is good, well....bjj is great and gets you in shape too). At Bravé MMA, my training experience has been transformed under the expert guidance of Coach Kenny and his older brother, Coach KB, an MMA champion. Coach Kenny's deep knowledge and approachable style in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, combined with Coach KB's exceptional skill in boxing, BJJ and Muay Thai, create an unparalleled learning environment. Their commitment to each student's growth, whether in competitive spirit or skill development, is evident in every class. The gym's focus on safety, personalized training, and fostering a positive, supportive atmosphere sets it apart, in my opinion. Unlike my previous gym experience, Brave MMA emphasizes skill and personal development over a transactional, attendance-based approach. This nurturing environment, where challenges are met with encouragement and individual strengths are honed, makes Bravé MMA a unique and rewarding place for anyone passionate about martial arts.

Kenny is an absolute treasure and truly is a master of his craft. The coaching staff here are so passionate about what they're doing and it shows.

After a few months of training I noticed a massive improvement in my son's confidence and his general mood as well. If you're looking for a gym that genuinely loves what they do and takes care of their members like family then look no further, brave is top shelf!

I've been bringing both of my children here now for a month at the recommendation of my neighbour…read more(her husband and children go here as well). We had previously tried out Jiu Jitsu two years ago at a different St. A dojo and did not have a good experience. At first, I was a little apprehensive to give it another try and the prices at Arashi-Do are higher than the other dojos I had looked at but decided to give it a go because my son's best friend wanted to sign up at the same place together. You can contact them via facebook, email, or by telephone. I initially sent in an email with questions about the program and received a telephone call in return from co-owner, Monitor Stephenie, and I was put at ease. Monitor Stephenie and Professor Tyson (married couple) co-own this franchise location and run the dojo together. They are fabulous - I cannot say enough great things about them. I've got one kiddo in Mini Monkeys (30 minutes 2 x a week) and one kiddo in Junior Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (45 minutes 2x a week). You pay the same for your membership whether you are in the 30 minute, 45 minute, or 60 minute classes - that I don't like but that's more to do with the franchise and the way Arashi-Do is set up than this particular location set up. The gym itself is bright, clean, spacious, and well-ventilated (I have not overheated as a parent sitting on the sidelines once). There are change rooms with a curtain as well as a washroom. What I'm really liking about Arashi-Do 1) that it's got a well-defined children's program and there is a difference between the mini monkeys and JBJJ. 2) Professor Tyson is phenomenal. My 9 year old daughter is completely comfortable with him and my 6 year old son thinks he is the bee's knees. Monitor Stephenie is fabulous, super kid friendly, approachable and easy to talk to. They really have a great balance as Professor and Monitor. Another neat thing is that they take their belts, stripes, and grading SERIOUSLY. The Master flies in from Brazil once (maybe twice) a year for all graded exams. Professor Tyson does regular stripe and colored bar tests but I believe the belt colour exams only occur when Mestre Sylvio da Matta Behring, 8th degree coral belt, visits. You can read more about their program on their website: http://arashido.com/programs/brazilian-jiu-jitsu Again, so happy to have found a dojo that works for our family and everyone feels comfortable and safe in. Discipline is foremost here but everything happens in a really structured and kid friendly manner. I'll definitely do an update in the future!

Even though they did not tell me the price of the program until after we started and paid for the bag, they will not give a refund!. Not to mention the head master kevin ford was charged with sexual assault and has popped up in my garage at 930 at night when we were relaxing with the door open. Creeps me out. Just watch out for this one. Been there OVER 2 years and I told them I wanted to cancel when the cobtract was up, so then they told my son while he was there with his dad without me, all about weapons training and how cool it would be if he stayed. So not cool... i felf for my son so they made me buy all this new stuff he needed $500 and then tell me AFTER that they will not give a refund and that the course actually costs 2000 not 1300. Yes, i should have paid more attention, but they have a responsibility to be clear on what they will be taking off your credit card! I even asked them before we committed to anything what the TOTAL charge would be on december 7, and they did not answer me, they just avoided the question. Then when I sent my husband to grab the bag, they got him to sign a prefilled contract while he was busy helping the boy try stuff on! He didn't know a thing about what was going on. very sneaky.
