Stratford BJJ Academy opened in December 2013 and is the original Brazilian jiu-jitsu school in Stratford, Ontario, and the flagship of the Jiu-Jitsu For Life team under Professor Jorge Britto. It teaches both gi and no-gi BJJ alongside judo, with separate programs for tots, kids, youth, teens, women and adults. A beginner-first culture, a structured fundamentals curriculum and a free first class make it easy to start, and newcomers are paired with senior belts. Coaches hold black belts, first aid and CPR, and safe sport and police checks for youth work. Free parking, a parents' viewing lobby and loaner gis are available. The academy draws students from across Perth County and nearby cities.
