Wonderful staff and classes. Very welcoming environment and a fantastic workout every time. Highly recommend their kids BJJ and MMA classes; Ryan and his team have really helped boost my Child’s confidence and abilities. Kickboxing is always a challenge (the good kind!) and you’ll walk away with a feeling of pride after every class.

I looked at many different kickboxing programs in my area wanting to find a place with a professional atmosphere that would push me to do my best and after my first class at Brasa Bowen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I knew that this place could offer me what I wanted. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and takes time to ensure that everyone is following and doing things properly. The people and staff are welcoming, and I immediately felt like a community member. Thanks to this place kickboxing has quickly become one of my favourite ways to exercise and I look forward to showing up to Brasa Bowen Brazilian Jiu Jitsu everyday.

An absolutely great learning environment. The space itself is clean and bright with lots of available mat space.

A great, active and well-attended kids program with knowledgeable, patient and involved instructors.

Great adult BJJ program – large classes are the norm with lots of experience (purple, brown, and black belts) on the mat

All in all, a great place to train!

Update after two months of training with Brasa – If you are having any doubts, don’t! Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic art form. It tests your mind and body, while building your physical and mental strength. Incredibly addicting. I joined Jiu Jitsu as a way to train my mind and body for higher level competitive rock climbing – now I rock climb to train for Jiu Jitsu. I have had many hobbies, and none have come close to the whole body experience you get from training Jiu Jitsu, even rock climbing (which I didn’t think could be topped)!

Ryan Bowen has created a strong, tightly knit and supportive community. From the second I stepped on the mat the whole community was supportive and encouraging. I got right into it, and if I struggled at all along the way everyone was willing to pitch in and help my progress. I am not a big guy at 165lbs, but I have no fear sparring with guys twice my size and skill because everyone has a mutual respect for beginners and are incredibly good at pacing themselves to help you learn. I have seen a massive change in my abilities over such a small time frame – I am impressed with all the coaches knowledge and teaching ability. I would have thought it would take me a year to get to the point I am at now but thanks to the rest of the community and the higher belts effective teaching you learn quickly and efficiently.

I would recommend Brasa Bowen Jiu Jitsu to anyone interested in building mental and physical strength, confidence and a sense of community with a great bunch of people!

This is the most positive, welcoming martial arts studio I have ever attended. The instructors are highly experienced, patient and light-hearted.

People from all ages and backgrounds come together to learn. If everyone supported one another like they do at Bowen BJJ and Kickboxing the world would be a kinder, more mindful and more peaceful place.

I am so glad I became a student here and look forward to many years of growth and friendship.
