Stripes earned 💪🏼
Our women’s program continues to grow and it shows in moments like this. From students, to working professionals, to moms who first walked in because of their kids… now stepping on the mats for themselves.
Different paths, same commitment to learning, improving, and showing up.
Proud of the work, the energy, and the community being built every single week 🤍
If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign. Come try a class with us - beginner friendly, supportive, and built for you.

Monday Night Gi class đź‘Š
Big congratulations to our two newest blue belts — Chris & Troy 🔵🔵
has been on the mats for years, in and out, but always coming back with the same goal: get better, build real skill, and keep learning. No shortcuts, just consistency over time.
Troy started his journey nearly two years ago at 53 years old. Since day one, he’s been a true student of the art — fully committed to the process, training under our CLA approach, and recently stepping up to compete with some great performances.
This is what it’s about. Progress, persistence, and pushing forward at your own pace.
Proud of you both đź‘Ź
Emma earned her grey-white belt 🤍🖤
Over the past three weeks, the Coaches have been watching her very closely—how she moves, how she solves problems, how she shows up every class. The plan was to have her compete at the Ontario Open in the white belt division… but she made that decision easy for the coaches.
Her growth, focus, and understanding of the fundamentals showed she was ready for more.
At Gentle Arts Dojo, we don’t promote based on competitions—we promote based on development. Competitions are just a reflection, not the goal.
Now, we’re pushing Emma forward into a bigger challenge—stepping onto the mats at her next competition as a grey-white belt.
Proud of you Emma. Keep going đź‘Š
20 minutes. Every single day. 🧹🧼
At Gentle Arts Dojo, safety isn’t just about how we train, it’s about the environment we train in. Clean mats. Clean space. Clear mind.
Hygiene is a team effort. We do our part by disinfecting and maintaining the mats daily and we expect everyone who trains with us to do theirs too. Trimmed nails, clean gis, fresh rashguards, no shoes on the mats.
Respect the space. Respect your partners. Protect the team. 🤝
Saturday mornings are for the kids 🥋
Every Saturday at 10AM we host a Kids Open Mat at Gentle Arts Dojo.
If your child already has jiu jitsu experience, this is for them.
If you’re a parent or a coach with kids who train, bring them by.
Our open mats are free, structured, and supervised in a safe, fun environment where kids can:
• Get quality rounds
• Try new things
• Build confidence
• Grow friendships across academies
We believe the community grows stronger when the kids grow together.
See you on the mats at 10AM 🤝🥋
Monday Nights are for Pyjamas Strangling 🥋
Great work everyone! Tomorrow we continue the work, but without the PJs 🤼‍♂️
