Hey just wondering if anyone knows any good MMA/BJJ schools in the Toronto area? Preferably around the North York area, but anywhere is good. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how far you're willing to travel. In your local area, for Muay Thai, MMA and BBJ there's:

LIN BJJ Toronto

Salvosa BJJ Ascension

White Tiger Jiu-Jitsu

Southside Muay-Thai & Submission

Ultimate Martial Arts

House of Muay Thai-Siam No.1

There's some good schools in the Mississauga and Oakville area as well, like Buckley Jiu-Jitsu, Kombat Arts.

hey, I live near North York. There's a place a few blocks away from me in North York called Universal Mixed Martial Arts

There's Toronto BJJ on Bloor.

Where in North York are you?

[littletwister]

Hi, I'm new here.

I'm moving to Scarborough, Toronto and I'm looking for a bjj school. On my list so far are Salvosa BJJ, Lin Martial arts and Toronto BJJ. Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks =D

[Esox Express]

Isn't there a 10th planet in Toronto?

[DemonPig]

Yeah, Kombat Arts is the most renowned MMA school in GTA. Not too far away from Pearson.

Muay Thai Siam No.1 is probably the best and I think the oldest MT school in GTA, established by a genuine Thai star fighter. And that's in North York.

All in all I would be aware of glorified fitness gyms. A lot of them pose as MMA schools nowadays 'cause it's in. See if any amateur and/or professional fighters train/instruct in a school of your choice. That's usually a good indication of how dedicated the place is. If you see a bunch of girls doing yoga - run away like you're gay.
