Expert Instruction, Proven Results

Innisfil Brazilian Jiujitsu was founded by Coach PK in 2019 with the aim of giving kids in the local communities around Innisfil and Barrie the opportunity to learn Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) – a discipline that's the perfect combination of exercise and play. Since it began, IBJJ has helped kids and adults alike discover their inner grappler, while having fun and making friends along the way. Our studio prides itself on its warm, inviting and friendly atmosphere. We're not just a club or a team, we're a family. And like any family, we have a few house rules: #1 No one gets hurt. #2 Have fun!

Coach PK (Pirashanth Kesavan)

Founder & Head Coach, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Coach PK took up karate as a kid after being inspired by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. His passion for all things martial arts has only grown with time and he's now an experienced trainer who has put his students through their paces in a range of disciplines including Muay Thai, kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). He has trained for fourteen years under black belt Coach Jason Lancucki of Straight Blast Gym Toronto, where he was awarded his brown belt, and ran a successful kids' program before relocating to Innisfil. Coach PK makes martial arts fun, removing the structured rigidity of traditional classes in favour of an easily-digestible, playful way of training that keeps people coming back for more. His goal is to make Brazilian jiujitsu accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, athleticism or disability.

What We Offer

Our Programs

Something for everyone — from toddlers to adults, beginners to competitors.

Ages 4-7: Parent & Child at Innisfil Brazilian Jiujitsu
Ages 4–7

Ages 4-7: Parent & Child

At IBJJ, we've developed a safety-first, family training program so children aged 4 to 7 can train jiu jitsu with the support of an adult. This program was created so parents and children could train in a safe space while enjoying a sociable, fun and healthy form of play. We teach discipline, meditation and basic self-defence to instill confidence and focus in your child – all while creating an unbreakable bond and many fun memories with their parent partner. Class starts with a relaxed, fun game to warm up, then moves into 'animal walks' to encourage kids' creativity, and on to the more technical aspects of Brazilian jiu jitsu with drills that focus on progressive resistance. Class also includes a mental wellness component with guided meditations that help kids focus, settle, and learn discipline. There are no special requirements to attend — parents can be any level of fitness and don't need any prior experience.

Ages 7-13: Youth Program at Innisfil Brazilian Jiujitsu
Ages 7–13

Ages 7-13: Youth Program

Our Youth Program focuses on developing confidence, strength, fitness, discipline and leadership skills. Kids in these classes practice highly effective self-defence skills, taught in a playful manner so your child can learn to handle conflict through de-escalation and non-violent control techniques. We also spend time being mindful and present as meditation is a huge asset to your child's life – with noticeable benefits both in class and at home. Classes kick off with an ice-breaker game, followed by warm-up exercises before we launch into drills. Our experienced coaches pair up students based on their size, height, and ability, and take care to team up newcomers with more experienced students so that kids can learn from each other. All activity in the gym is carefully supervised with a student to coach ratio that ensures they're getting dedicated, one-on-one feedback and training.

Age 13+: Teens & Adult Classes

Our Adults program is suitable for all adults, from 13 years old to 70 years young. It's ideal if you're looking for fitness, a tight-knit community, and skill-building. We focus on practical self-defense and follow a strategic curriculum designed to ensure skill retention. At IBJJ, we give you a good grounding in the fundamentals so it doesn't matter if it's your first day or your 100th, you'll learn techniques that anyone can use. Our coaches take a technical approach, introducing and holding positions so students fully grasp the foundationals before employing speed and power. Partner drills allow fighters to try their newly learned skills on different body types and sizes. We run classes for ages 13+ six days a week, including adults-only classes two days a week.

"We were so lucky to stumble across an add for IBJJ. The classes are so fun and custom for each age group and skill. Coach PK is so great at leading the classes he makes you comfortable and step by step explains why we do certain moves and how to be safe. It has been a place for us as a family to get out and actually do something together. Coach PK is a phenomenal person inside and out. He takes his time to explain and show you what we are learning at your pace. He is such a positive person and an amazing role model. We always look forward to our next sessions. Thank you coach PK as your classes have given both my girls the confidence they have been missing."

Frequently Asked Questions

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art focused on grappling, ground control, technique, and leverage rather than striking. Our approach is always safety-first: classes are structured by age and skill level, instructors supervise closely, and we emphasize technique over force. Whether you're 5 or 50, we make sure your experience is fun, controlled, and safe.
Not at all. Many of our members start with zero martial arts experience. We design beginner-friendly BJJ classes so you can learn slowly, build confidence, and grow stronger over time. Our classes accommodate all fitness levels — your journey is your own.
We welcome children as young as 4 up through adults. We have dedicated kids BJJ classes, youth classes, and adult classes, each with age-appropriate instruction, drills, and progression. It's a great activity for kids to build discipline, respect, and confidence — while having fun!
Come comfortable, in athletic clothes (t-shirt and shorts or sweatpants). Once you decide to continue, you can purchase your own gi from us, we will make sure it's the perfect fit. Also bring a water bottle, and an open mindset. We'll take care of the rest.
Consistency is key in BJJ. Many students train 2–3 times per week and see steady improvement in technique, stamina, and confidence. Even attending once a week helps — but the more consistent you are, the faster you'll grow. Our instructors help you set realistic goals based on your schedule.
Yes! We offer a free intro private class so you can try BJJ class, meet the instructors, and see if it's a good fit — no obligation. We offer the one on one session so you can really feel jiujitsu and not feel overwhelmed in a group setting. We will be able to help set context and allow you to feel how easy it is to perform the moves.
We have a few membership plans. Pricing depends on age group and number of classes per week. Contact us and we will send you our latest price list.
Safety is a top priority. Our mats are cleaned regularly, we enforce hygiene rules (clean uniforms, trimmed nails, sanitized gear), and instructors closely supervise rolling. Beginners always roll with partners matched by skill. We teach safe techniques to avoid injury. Our policy: no one gets hurt — have fun.
It's easy — just fill out our Book Free Class form on our website or contact us via phone/email. We'll schedule your free private intro class, answer any questions, and get you started. We want to make your first step as smooth as possible.
We are located at 990 Innisfil Beach Rd 2nd Floor, Innisfil, ON. You can see the full schedule on the Classes page. We also serve people in Barrie, Bradford and surrounding communities.
We believe that martial arts should be welcoming, fun, and supportive. We don't use intimidation or harsh drills. We focus on fun. We tailor instruction to each student's pace. We focus not just on technique, but on building community, confidence, friendships, and character. Our studio is warm, inviting, and designed so everyone — kids, beginners, adults — feels at home.
No, when parents are present, kids are distracted. Parents are often on their phones, or giving unsolicited feedback without any experience. It is better to allow the coaches to do their jobs and you will be contacted about their progress or if they need extra support.
