Martial Arts

Prior to meeting Sifu Magwood about 10 years ago I had studied Tae Kwon Do with various teachers. Through that time, although I developed some technical proficiencies, there was always something missing, some elements that inhibited me - Much of that is attributed to me, but as the saying goes "when the student is ready the teacher will appear" I first started training with Sifu Greg Magwood 10 years ago - I knew I had found a teacher like no other. He has a unique combination of fun and gravitas; egoless ability to see through to the student, and the thing they need to hear at that time. After a few years break, and few kids later, our entire family looks forward to Wednesdays, when we get to elevate our game, learn something new. My wife takes private weapon's and Tai Chi lessons, our kids study Jiu Jitsu, and I get to mix it up with my Kung Fu brothers & sisters. The last thing I can say is that you can learn a lot about a club from it's members. Greg attracts people without axes to grind, ego's to be polished, those that see they are in the dojo to learn and to teach, that we have an obligation to each other. Sifu Magwood has create a valuable home for his students and we're proud to be part of his family.

Great school. Highly respected for all the right reasons. I remember training in the basement of a video store when they first opened about 20 years ago. Best Martial Art's school in Peterborough. Traditional Hapkido at it's best.

Sensei Deyo and his dojo team are some of the greatest people I have ever had the benefit of knowing! Thank you everyone!

The kids have felt welcome since the start and look forward to every class. The instruction is top notch and the student to instructor ratio keeps the kids engaged. Highly recommended for kids that need to burn off some energy while learning an important life skill.

The fantastic instruction and friendly atmosphere found at Trenton BJJ make it the best BJJ club in the area. If your looking to start trainning for the first time or have experience and need a place to train in the quinte area Trenton BJJ is definately your best choice. I have been trainning here for a year and have nothing but positive words for the club, the instructors, and the members.

Great space for training, excellent instruction and a friendly atmosphere. Aikido has a great approach to martial arts and for life in general.

Tracy, Ron and Chelsea are the best! So patient and great with the kids. My daughter loves going to her Judo class and my little guy is also eager to join, just waiting until he's older. I recommend them to everyone!

When you walk in the door, you immediately feel like part of the family. I wish to send a big THANK YOU to Shelley for always motivating me and pushing me to do my very best. You are an amazing instructor and I am so happy I am part of your family :-)

When I came to Marcio Nunes BJJ academy I was completely inexperienced in the art of Jiu-jitsu. I distinctly remember the first week and how quickly I came to not only respect the sport, but more importantly, Marcio. He is hard working, loyal and keen to see his students succeed. I've been at MNunes BJJ academy for just over a year now, and have learned a tremendous amount about who I am as a person. Perseverance and confidence that success will come in ways unexpected are two things I have come to learn and have transferred into my everyday life as senior high school student. So to any young adults interested in joining Jiu-jitsu, I strongly recommend this gym, as you will gain confidence in yourself and learn to carry a perspective that you will continue to benefit from even off the mats.

Nothing but positive things to say about Sensei Kenney and this dojo. Encouraging and a very positive environment, with an engaging approach to teaching... Would highly recommend this dojo!

Ahmad Zahabi is one of Canada's true BJJ wizards. Thank goodness he came to Burlington from Montreal to share his endless knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The classes are full of a wide range of students from beginner to advanced. What a respectful, fun environment it is to learn this incredible art. By far the best place to train in Burlington and the surrounding areas. One of the best in Canada for sure.

If you're even tempted to imagine yourself here, then definitely drop by to watch or try it hands-on! This is a biased review, because I am a member of the club. I joined in 2014, and although I was nervous and self-conscious at first, the teachers were very supportive. Since then, even though I still have so much to learn, I can see the gradual improvements in my stamina and discipline. The club is probably more on the casual/relaxed side, so the barrier to entry is very low for beginners!
