OUR STORY
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has been a catalyst for personal growth and transformation in our lives and we’re committed to helping other experience the same life-enhancing benefits. Our martial arts journeys have provided more than just physical growth. We’ve developed resilience, discipline, and perseverance while forging lifelong friendships, creating healthy habits, and learning self-defence.
Our founders, Matt McKay and Jayson Brown, were born in Ottawa and have deep rooted connections to Orleans and the East Ottawa community. Matt, Jayson, and our team have worked, trained, and raised children in this community which inspired us open Eastside Jiu-Jitsu Club in the Heart of Orleans to bring BJJ and its many benefits to this community.
- We aren’t the biggest school in town.
- We aren’t part of a global franchise.
- We don’t offer Muay Thai or kickboxing.
- We’re not an MMA gym.
We do one thing and we do it well. That's teaching modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to people of all ages and experience levels.
If you’re a parent looking for a character-building activity for your kids, an adult looking for a different kind of workout, an athlete looking to reignite the competitive spirit, or anyone in between, Eastside Jiu-Jitsu Club is the place for you. In our community, you’ll find like-minded individuals improving themselves everyday supported by high-level coaches who seamless blend the tradition and fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with modern coaching and innovative, competition-tested techniques.
Join us on the mat and experience the transformative power of BJJ at Eastside Jiu-Jitsu Club - the premier location for high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for all ages and experience levels in Orleans and the East Ottawa communities.
