What Jiu-Jitsu Does for Your Child
Structured warm-ups, bowing in, waiting their turn are all ways through which BJJ teaches kids how to follow direction, stay focused, and show respect to others.
From mastering a martial arts technique to earning their first stripe, kids gain real confidence through small wins — on and off the mats.
Many parents report improvements in focus, patience, and behavior at school thanks to BJJ’s mental training.
We teach kids how to use martial arts to handle confrontation with confidence: verbally, emotionally, and physically.

Real Stories from Our Kids Martial Arts Families

“I highly recommend this martial arts school. My three-year-old son has been attending for two months and absolutely loves it. Professor Louis-Philippe is patient, friendly, calm, and appropriately demanding, helping children learn through play and discipline. My son is now more confident, attentive, and disciplined. Even our one-year-old daughter loves watching the classes. The gym is clean, accessible, and offers free parking.”
“I am extremely satisfied with the Jiu-Jitsu school I enrolled my 5-year-old son in. The passionate instructor is very professional and attentive, and he knows how to make learning fun while teaching important values such as respect and discipline. My son loves going there! Clean, easy to access, and free parking!”
“An exceptional school for children! I am extremely satisfied with Renzo Gracie Laval. The coaching is professional, respectful, and motivating. The instructors know how to convey the right values through jiu-jitsu: discipline, self-confidence, respect, and perseverance. My child loves every session and progresses quickly, both physically and mentally. The atmosphere is welcoming, safe, and very well structured. I highly recommend all parents to enroll their children. It's an incredible investment in their personal development and well-being.”
“I joined this gym at my lowest point—over 300 lbs, newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and no self-confidence. From day one, Professor Glen and the team welcomed me in, pushed me, and supported me. Every class gave me back a piece of myself. My confidence is up, my weight is going down, and I’ve found a true community. If I can do this, anyone can. Don’t be scared—this place will change your life.”

Renzo Gracie Laval is an exceptional place to learn jiu-jitsu! They are passionate, dedicated, and above all, excellent instructors. The atmosphere is welcoming, respect is at the heart of each session, and you really feel like you're progressing, no matter your level. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone who wants to learn or excel in a healthy and motivating environment!
My three-year-old son joined two months ago. He tried other sports but only connected with Jiu-Jitsu, thanks to Professor Louis-Philippe. He is patient, friendly, calm, and also appropriately demanding. This balance builds discipline, which kids need to succeed. My son loves going and has already become more disciplined, less shy, and more attentive. Clean space, easy access, and free parking. Thank you for your hard work and professionalism!

Clean, easy to access, and free parking!
I have attended their classes and the approach is very respectful and professional. It has helped me achieve my fitness and technic goals. The place is very clean. I have also registered my 2 kids under 10years of age, and the pedadogy is 100% progressive and inclusive. I recommend this place to Everyone.
A spacious, clean, and welcoming place. The instructor, Mr. Louis-Philippe, is respectful, patient, and passionate. I highly recommend it. One of the only places to offer parent/child BJJ.
The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, with personalized explanations and techniques. The space is ultra-clean and well-equipped.
I accompanied my 7-year-old grandson and noticed that the teacher (Louis-Philippe) adapts to his students and respects their learning speed. The place is clean and welcoming (armchairs, kitchen, changing room, etc.). My grandson is very happy to train and always looks forward to going back.
Very nice and clean gym. The professor (LP) is extremely qualified and cares about his students and their progression. Classes are well taught and structured. Great for beginners as well as advanced people. Go check it out!

I have to say my experience here has been amazing. Even on my first day here I liked the environment, the people, the coaches, everything was amazing, and very easy to start understanding concepts to the sport! All the instructors take time to explain if someone is having difficulty understanding. The people that come here are also super friendly and it's easy to make friends.

Glen, Andrew, Wayne, Claudio and Phil and the others are amazing. Renzo team will take Montreal by storm this year 2024! And it’s just the beginning. I have progressed a lot with their techniques in 2-3 months 🌟✨ especially with LASSO from Andrew and some variations of pressure passing guards from Glen. And many other stuff. Let’s start the new year with a strong numbers of new members! God bless!
A super friendly, welcoming and supportive gym in a beautiful and clean facility. Very nice mats on a sprung floor, so taking falls on them is a pleasure. The level of the athletes is excellent. Anyone from a brand new white belt to a high-level competitor will be satisfied at this gym. Glen provides outstanding, highly-technical instruction coupled with a great sense of humour that makes the already-fun training even more fun!

Customer service was impeccable they were respectful and helpful, answered to all my questions and I was very confident before letting my son train with them. Coaches were very professional and trained my son very well. Really recommend this place if you want to start jujitsu. If there were more than 5 stars, I would put more.
Very good BJJ school. I have been training at this gym for 6 months now. Very good level of competition, amazing team spirit and the level of support and help between team members is impeccable. It all starts with Professor Glen, very good technician and even better teacher. All you need is one try, don't wait!

Excellent school, my 7 year old son has been doing Jiujitsu there for 2 years already! And I can say that the influence of the coach and this discipline is incredibly positive. Give it a try, you won’t regret!

The facilities are great but the members and staff are even greater! Super friendly atmosphere, everyone is welcoming and happy to match your skill level. The schedule has classes available for any lifestyle. Somehow there always seems to be a class in session :). Thank you!

The nicest BJJ facility in Quebec hands down. The guys training on this team are absolute animals, arguably the best in the city. If you want to get good at BJJ, compete, and smash everyone; this is the team for you. The Professor is the best coach in the business for building champions.

I noticed this JiuJitsu school open near my house. I was already looking at a martial arts class to undertake. I decided to walk in mid day and check it out. Glen was there and introduced himself, and asked me to jump in on a class to see if I liked it. I’ve been hooked since. Not only is it a great school that shows proper technique. The people there and in class are extremely helpful. Will sign up my 6 year old son shortly.
