YOUR FIRST VISIT, OUR TREAT


The instruction here is world-class. It is an incredibly safe place to learn BJJ and nobody is ever pressured to go beyond their comfort zone. Both the staff and the members are incredibly kind.

The staff pride themselves on the cleanliness of the facility. It's truly impressive and reassuring that each square inch and piece of equipment in the facility is clean and odorless."

BUDō functions as the Northwest Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Vancouver, proudly representing and collaborating with a friendly and supportive network of affiliated clubs under the guidance of the Northwest Jiu-Jitsu Team, led by 5th-degree Black Belt Brian Johnson.

After trying several other BJJ schools I am grateful to have found Budo. The instructors are excellent; they break complex moves down into manageable steps so us beginners can understand. They are also attentive, answering questions and watching us practice to ensure we are doing the techniques properly. On top of the excellent instructors, the whole Budo team is extremely welcoming. I feel lucky to have found a place where I am this excited to attend each class."

Jiu-Jitsu

Rooted in the local BJJ community, our program is divided into four levels; Fundamental, All Level, Advanced/Competition and Private classes. From the Beginner to Advanced student, we offer instruction for everyone.

Fundamentals

Our Fundamentals classes, based on the 'GROUND ZERO: A to Z Starter's Guide' curriculum developed by BUDō Head Coach Scott Boudreau, are designed to provide beginners with a comprehensive understanding of Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. These classes focus on enhancing key aspects such as endurance, balance, flexibility, and coordination, establishing a strong foundation for new students.
While our Fundamentals classes primarily prepare newcomers for seamless integration into All Level classes, they also offer valuable insights for students across all experience levels, reinforcing essential techniques and core principles.

All Levels

Our All Levels classes feature lessons from the 'Basic 48' system, developed by 5th-degree Black Belt Brian Johnson, the leader of our association team, Northwest Jiu-Jitsu.
These All Levels Jiu-Jitsu classes necessitate a strong foundation in BJJ basics and a thorough comprehension of the concepts taught in the Fundamentals classes. Instruction in these classes concentrates on enhancing student skills while exposing them to more intricate techniques and sparring experiences.

Advanced

Our Advanced/Competition classes are tailored to prepare students of all belt levels for participation in tournament competition. These classes focus on more intricate and strategic techniques, with an emphasis on body conditioning and increased physical fitness.
Students participating in these classes are expected to be proficient in Jiu-Jitsu for their respective rank and possess a higher level of fitness. The techniques taught in these sessions are advanced, and a significant portion of class time is dedicated to competitive sparring, allowing students to put their skills into practice.

Privates

Private classes offer a personalized and tailored approach, ensuring individual attention for students, leading to accelerated skill enhancement and accommodating flexible scheduling.
These one-on-one sessions are perfect for competition preparation, skill level assessment, and targeted training, catering to each student's specific needs and goals.

Budo has a very welcoming environment and the instructors are all knowledgeable and approachable.
I started two years ago and have been a member ever since then!
The facility and equipment are clean and well taken care of, I would recommend this place to everyone."

I've been training at Budo for a few months now. Budo has given me an opportunity to explore martial arts in a fun environment. It has improved my physical fitness, and increased my confidence when dealing with difficult people on the street. The students and instructors are friendly, and make you feel included during training. You will be exposed to live rolling here, where you test your skills against others, but the atmosphere at the school makes it safe for less fit hobbyists and challenging for serious competitors."

I can safely say that the decision to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Budo has been one of the best decisions I've made for my health, both physically and mentally. I'm a better person for being a member of this club. The instructors are as inviting as they are knowledgable.

The instruction is world-class, while creating space for individual contributions and questions to develop everyone's skills. I always feel welcome and the more time I spend here, the more I want to stay.

I strongly recommend Budo for anyone considering BJJ, there's a great vibe with great people.
