Kanata Academy Of Martial Arts

🥋 We’ve added even more BJJ to our fall schedule!

Starting tonight, Mondays now include BJJ Fundamentals and No-Gi BJJ, and we’ve also added No-Gi Fundamentals on Wednesdays.

These classes are open to everyone - all experience levels and all of our regular memberships. Whether you’re newer to BJJ and want more time working on the basics, or you’ve been training for years and just want another opportunity to get on the mats, you’re welcome to join us.

And if you’ve been thinking about trying BJJ but aren’t quite sure where to start… we have something new coming. 👀

Over the next couple of days, we’ll be sharing details about our new 8-Week BJJ Beginner Program - a great way for someone brand new to BJJ to get started, learn the fundamentals and get comfortable on the mats.

More details coming soon!

For now, our new fall schedule is underway and the additional BJJ classes start tonight. See you on the mats! 🥋

It's taken me a little longer than usual to write this one.

Over the course of a few days in Orlando, we had the chance to support athletes from across our extended Renzo Gracie family at Kids Pans and the Orlando Open. As always, it was a weekend full of great matches, great people, and memories we'll be talking about for a long time.

But I left with one question that hasn't stopped following me.

What do you really want?

Not what sounds good.
Not what you post about.
Not what you tell your teammates.

What do you actually want?

Because everyone wants their hand raised.
Everyone wants the medal.
Everyone wants to be called a champion.

Very few people want what it costs.

Competition doesn't create champions.
It exposes preparation.
It exposes discipline.
It exposes consistency.

It exposes the promises you kept to yourself... and the ones you didn't.

Long before you ever step onto the mat, the result has already started to take shape.

So when the match is over... ask yourself if you would have done anything differently.

If the answer is no, then walk away with your head high. You gave yourself every opportunity... you put everything on the line.

If the answer is yes, don't let that answer disappear when Monday comes. That's where growth begins.

We love these weekends. We love the road trips, the laughs, cheering each other on, and sharing these experiences as a team. Those moments are a huge part of why we do this.

Now we get back on the mats.

The next tournament doesn't start on competition day.
It starts today.

Just a reminder that the academy will be closed this Monday for the long weekend.

We hope everyone gets a chance to relax, enjoy the extra day, and make the most of the weekend with family and friends.

If you're looking to get some training in, we'll be running an Open Mat from 6:00–8:00 p.m. Come get some rounds in, drill, roll, or just spend some time with the team.

Enjoy the long weekend, have fun, and we'll see you on the mats Monday evening! 👊

A few schedule changes are on the way, and we're kicking things off with one that a lot of people have been asking for.

Starting tonight, Boxing is back on Thursdays at 6:00 p.m.

That also means we'll now have Boxing every Monday through Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

Kru Aaron will be leading tonight's class, so if you've been waiting for another evening to get your rounds in, this is it.

We'll have a few more schedule updates to share over the coming days, but for now... we'll see you at 6! 🥊👊

Canada Day reminder 🇨🇦

The academy will be closed for regular classes tomorrow so everyone can enjoy the holiday.

Hopefully the weather holds off and everyone gets a chance to have a great day with family and friends.

We will be running an Open Mat from 6:00–8:00 p.m. (thanks Peter!), so feel free to drop in, get some rounds in, and spend part of the evening on the mats.

Have fun, stay safe, and come train tonight before the holiday! 👊🍁
