Stoic Jiu Jitsu Academy offers a uniquely holistic approach to Martial Arts, facilitating personal growth through the practice of facing challenges in a supportive atmosphere. Our curriculum is informed by over two decades on the mats in both striking and grappling arts. Our curriculum facilitates both sport and self defense approaches to Martial Arts, as our head Professor has competed in Canada, USA, China, and South Africa, in addition to working in private sector security in the capacity of personal protection, asset protection, nightclub team management, loss prevention, and consultancy. 

In addition to a truly experiential approach to training our bodies and minds in the art of self defense, we at Stoic Jiu Jitsu are avid readers and lifelong learners. We share with our students deep knowledge spanning many disciplines, including psychology, history, theology, kinesiology and nutrition. As committed practitioners of the open-hand Martial Way, we welcome all to join us in training as a core component of leading a healthy, fulfilling and purposeful life. Stoic Jiu Jitsu is a community wherein we learn from each other in order to collectively pursue a deeper understanding of ourselves, and we believe that showing up authentically to face our personal challenges empowers those around us to do the same.
