Martial Arts near Orleans
Yes, Gracie Barra Manotick trains Orleans and east-end families at our academy in Manotick, with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai for kids and adults, all levels.
Orleans anchors Ottawa's east end, a big, family-heavy community with plenty of demand for kids' activities. If you are looking for martial arts in Orleans and want the real Gracie Barra experience, our academy is across the city on the south side, in Manotick. That is an honest cross-town trip, but east-end families who train with us tell us the room is what makes it worthwhile.
What they find here is a full academy: a structured Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu curriculum for every age, kids and adult Muay Thai, a supportive women's class, and coaches who take the time to start beginners properly. East-end members usually lock in a set couple of classes a week, often including a Saturday morning, so the commute becomes routine rather than a chore.
