Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Ottawa
Yes, Gracie Barra Manotick teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the Ottawa area from our academy in Manotick, with kids, adult, and women's classes, gi and no-gi, for every level.
Searching for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Ottawa? Gracie Barra Manotick is one academy in Manotick, at the south end of the Ottawa area, and it is where jiu-jitsu players from across the city come to train. We are not a chain of branches: this is our home on the mats, part of the worldwide Gracie Barra family, open to Ottawa families who want a real curriculum and patient coaching close to home.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the ground-fighting art built on leverage and technique rather than size or strength. It rewards problem-solving, it gets you genuinely fit, and it gives you self-defence skill you can trust. We train both gi and no-gi every week, so you learn the classic game and the modern one, and beginners always start with the fundamentals. If you are new to the art entirely, start with what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is.
Whichever door you come in through, everyone gets the same welcome. The parent signing up a shy kid, the adult who has not trained in years, the woman who wants a class that feels comfortable from day one. Below are the three ways into BJJ at Gracie Barra Manotick.
