P	P yKay on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sadly, only got to train at this gym once due to me visiting Calgary for a short time. However, I was planning to go more. The gym is great coach/instructor Josh is great to say the least. Friendly guys at the gym, super technical, and all around great. The class had take-downs as well as ground work something that is often overlooked by many jiu jitsu schools. I cannot rate this place enough Wish I was able to attend more of the classes I will for sure stop by the next time I am in Calgary 5/5, hands down!
C	Carno2022 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Professor Josh is an amazing instructor who has an extensive knowledge base that he shares freely. Professor Josh is a true professional who cares about his students and their Jiu Jitsu journey. Safety is paramount here and professor Josh speaks about it frequently. Ultimately he’s an excellent instructor who cares about his students.
c	cottonmouth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been training here for a little over a year. Awesome place to start BJJ... clean gym, friendly, chill environment. Instruction and knowledge of Professor Josh and the coaches are invaluable.
J	Joshua George on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been going here for three weeks now, and have been loving it so far. I did a lot of research before trying this gym. Professor Josh Russell (black belt under Carlos Gracie Jr.) has awarded black belts to most of BJJ professors in the city. So going here was not a tough decision at all. I am new to BJJ, but was hooked on to it in my first class, and decided right away that I was going to sign up for the membership. I did not even go through the whole trial period to sign up. I have found that the coaching is very detailed, and you get a lot out of it if you like asking questions. I learn a lot even when I'm rolling, and in my experience I've found that all the people I've rolled with so far, have been really nice, and answer all the questions I have. They are also good with giving tips and advice, since I'm really new to BJJ, but the key is to ask questions. Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu.
B	Brent Watson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great BJJ gym. Just finished their trial class. Great group of people and Josh was very helpful & welcoming.
2	214r8 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've gone here for 7 years and it's been amazing the coaches are extremely talented and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Easily the best BJJ school in all of Calgary. They also have very convenient class times which makes it easy to get too in your day and they don't make you pay and do a test for a promotion. If you are thinking of doing Martial Arts go here.
B	Baldonado BJJ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I started my BJJ journey at JR Academy and trained at this academy for a decade. The instruction and training are both fantastic. The people are awesome to be around. Prof. Josh Russell has built something special.
M	Manny Abao on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Professor Josh is a highly respected bjj pioneer in Alberta. I don't train at this gym, but I always drop in every time i get the chance when in town. And if you live here this would be the gym to train. They are very welcoming to visitors. Not only his students will give you some tough rolls but the instruction here is always top notch. Josh has a wealth of bjj knowledge and is very detail oriented in showing different techniques. He will go around and correct mistakes and will take questions after. This shows that he cares about his students learning the moves the right way. His teaching style is a rare trait of the best bjj instructors and that is hard to find these days! I highly recommend this academy to anyone wanting to learn pure bjj for self-defence, sports competition or fitness. You will be so lucky and will not regret to be training here!
