Just had our first class, wow. If you want to train BJJ, give coach PK a call!
The coaches were very attentive and they really made sure she was a good fit for the program before we started.
He's a great human being, training partner, and Coach with a fun and playful style.
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!
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.
We don't just teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — we build better people.
Students earn every belt by demonstrating real technique — we don't hand out ranks. With a 5.0-star Google rating and 7 years in Innisfil, our standards speak for themselves.
From young kids to adults, complete beginners to returning martial artists — everyone feels at home at Innisfil Brazilian Jiujitsu. This is a family, not just a gym.
Parents and students report improvements in focus, confidence, and discipline within the first 30–60 days. Our structured curriculum ensures every student progresses at every level.
Something for everyone — from toddlers to adults, beginners to competitors.
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.
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.
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."
