Midwest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Saskatoon

I love a place where people make you feel welcomed, that’s exactly the coaches at Midwest. Midwest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Saskatoon is a great gym where the instructors care and put hard work into every individual. They have created a curriculum to ensure students are hitting their BJJ goals, all while having fun. Currently my husband, daughter and son attend Midwest. I highly recommend for adults and children.

Incredible coaches and excellent people to be around. The coaches are highly skilled and have Won multiple world tittles. The coaches are extremely intuitive on what they are teaching and is always willing to help. The main coach (coach Andrew) has a long line of world titles as coaches behind his belt and often brings them over for seminars to make sure you get the most experience possible and the best. I could go on forever about why their great but I doubt you want to read a novel. And they have a week free trial if you aren’t willing to go for it but I doubt you will need a whole week to sign up.

I just began training BJJ in September, but I’m glad I started at Midwest. It’s got a very welcoming atmosphere, and great people to train with. Everyone there is always excited learn and pass on what they know. Additionally, the instructors are (in my opinion,) top notch. They are very knowledgeable, and ready to talk one on one if you are having issues with anything in the program. Overall, I would definitely recommend Midwest BJJ to anyone interested in the sport, self defense, or just being active.

This is amazing place to train. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable when it’s comes to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Highly Recommend!

Midwest has amazing instructors that know and teach the fundamentals on a level that prepare its students to deal with any adversity on or off the mat. They are welcoming, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile for their students. It is more than just a club/school it is a community and family.

I was hesitant to start learning jujitsu because I had no martial arts experience and thought the learning curve would just be to great. I’m so glad I finally grew the nerve to start! Andrew is an amazing coach. From a complete newbie perspective, he gives you enough to challenge you but he breaks the skills down enough that allows you to feel successful after every session. All of the training partners are very good to “the new guy”. There is no judgment or snickering, everyone is there to help you and is happy to see you improve. If you’ve been thinking about trying out jujitsu, stop thinking about it and check out Midwest jujitsu!

Midwest Jujitsu is a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment for anyone who wants to learn Brazilian Jujitsu for sport, competition or self protection. Coach Andrew Hanson teaches the principles and not just the techniques. Each are broken down and explained in ways which even non marital artists can easily relate to and understand. But more important for me is the fact that Andrew does not teach from theory, nor from books or videos; but from his proven competitive experience and hard earned credentials as a lifelong martial artist and competitive fighter. I feel safe in the knowledge that everything I’m learning has been pressure tested and will ‘work’ - if I’m diligent enough to train often :) and now I won’t be looking to train anywhere else.

Midwest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an amazing place!! The instructors are top notch and friendly. The Head Coach Andrew Hanson is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (sport and self defense) and embraces every opportunity to deliver his passion for BJJ in all classes. What I love the most about Midwest BJJ is the format in which Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is taught. Coach Andrew has a training curriculum for the kids, adults, and competitive athletes. Classes are very well structured and organized which I find makes Midwest BJJ a unique place to train. The teaching methodology allows for everyone to learn at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed and most importantly without a feeling of being left behind. I have always wanted to do a martial art and thought that at 48 it was too late to start and mentally had settled to just enjoy watching my 12-year-old son train BJJ at Midwest BJJ. However, Coach Andrew told me “The best time to have started BJJ was when you were a kid. The next best time to start is TODAY.” And this has been the best decision I have made!! There are many outstanding qualities of Midwest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that make this an ideal place to train BJJ, but the ones that stand out are excellent instructors, very welcoming, safe environment, clean and awesome training partners. I highly recommend Midwest Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to anyone interested in self defense, sports BJJ or someone looking to get a great workout!!
