Facility is extremely clean and taken care of. Classes are well structured, on time, frequent, with lots of opportunities to grow. Prof Kyle runs numerous events throughout the year to engage all students, and it has developed into a wonderful place for my boys and myself to grow together in this journey."

"TrickyBJJ has truly exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the moment our 8-year-old daughter started attending classes, we have seen a remarkable transformation in her confidence and skills.
The gym's approach to teaching strikes the perfect balance between discipline and fun, creating an environment where kids are not only learning valuable jiu-jitsu techniques but also thoroughly enjoying themselves. What sets Tricky BJJ apart is the diverse range of skills that are covered in each class. It's not just about mindlessly repeating the same moves; instead, the curriculum is designed to keep things fresh and exciting for the kids.
Professor Kyle is an exceptional instructor who goes above and beyond to ensure that each child makes real progress in their jiu-jitsu journey. His dedication and passion for teaching are truly inspiring, and it's clear that he genuinely cares about the growth and development of his students.
Overall, we cannot recommend Tricky BJJ highly enough. If you're looking for a welcoming and supportive environment where your child can learn valuable skills, build confidence, and have a blast while doing it, look no further than TrickyBJJ. You won't be disappointed!

"I’ve been training with Professor Kyle since 2015. Amazing coaching, good atmosphere and overall great experience. Whether you are looking to train for competition, or just looking to have fun - this gym will be happy to welcome you."

"I come up to the city once or twice a month and didn't want to lose out on any training time. So I found Tricky, messaged asking if I could come in to train whenever I'm in town and from the beginning I've been welcomed with open arms. I basically consider these guys part of my team now even though it's only part time. Being a woman in jits can be difficult sometimes, but everyone makes me feel comfortable and friendly! Both coaches Kyle and Jacob are solid in their teaching techniques and break all movements down really well. If you're in Owen Sound, head to Tricky."
