What Are People Saying?

I visited Kodokan as I was in Calgary for work and the training exceeded my expectations. Professor Walton structured the warm ups to lead into the drills and was methodical in his teaching approach. I will definitely come back and train at Kodokan again next time I return to Calgary. Thank you to Angelo as well for fine tuning the details of the moves with me.

I started training here almost a year ago and the experience has been life changing. In the first 3 months I lost 30 pounds and I have never felt younger or healthier before in my life. For anybody thinking of trying BJJ/Martial arts I would highly recommend this place. All the black belts are super friendly and welcoming. I started bringing my son here about 3 months ago as well and he loves it as well. Couldn't be happier with the experience so far. Thank you Kodokan family!

One of the most inviting Brazilian jiu-jitsu gyms I have had the pleasure of visiting. Randy and Walton Chung, together, possess vast amounts of knowledge and humility that make your Kodokan YYC experience one to remember. There is no shortage of solidarity at this gym, and if you're looking for a place of common ground to learn, roll, and get into shape, all while learning and laughing with great individuals, then I would highly recommend checking out Kodokan YYC.

Top notch instruction that's meticulous and detailed (many black belts with different styles that teach classes). Safe and clean training environment. Tight knit group but welcoming to everyone enthusiastic to train. This trickles onto their competitive spirit and their growing championship accolades. Their positive relationships with many gyms allow you to drop in to other gyms and expand your training partners. Overall well managed and the owners are some of the coolest fellas you'll get to know.

Absolutely fabulous club. I'm visiting from Ontario. The owner, staff, and training partners are so welcoming and friendly. I've been doing BJJ for 9 years and if you're looking for a place to start this is where I would want to be. They care about the students and it shows. Great for beginners and seasoned BJJ athletes. Very clean. Nice open space. Easy to get to. Can't wait to visit again.
