Fernie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

ferniebjj.ca

Fernie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is built on the vision of bringing Jiu-Jitsu to Fernie for the community. Adults and youth alike can feel physically empowered and confident through the mastering of techniques and concepts learned in BJJ… and have some fun on that journey too!

There are many benefits to training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Physically, it increases flexibility, strength, endurance and cardio. Mentally, it builds confidence, teaches problem solving skills, critical thinking and is incredibly therapeutic. It emphasizes technique over strength and timing over speed and is one of the most effective martial arts.

All are welcome to join this growing community, get fit(ter), have fun and learn. The first two sessions are free and then you can sign up for a monthly membership.
