Whether you're stepping onto the mats for the first time or looking to take your training to the next level, Evolution Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a structured program for beginners, recreational students, and experienced practitioners. Under the instruction of IBJJF 4th Degree Black Belt Prof. Daniel Guillemette and Head Coach Nicholas Guillemette, students learn the techniques and principles that make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu one of the world's most effective martial arts.
 

Our curriculum includes positional control, escapes, guard passing, submissions, takedowns, and live sparring, helping students develop practical self-defence skills while improving confidence, fitness, and problem-solving abilities. Classes are offered in both Gi and No-Gi, with weekly Wrestling classes and Open Mat sessions providing additional opportunities to develop your skills.
 

Whether your goal is self-defence, competition, improved fitness, or simply joining a welcoming community, Evolution BJJ offers one of the most comprehensive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs in the Gatineau–Ottawa region.

Our 8–13 year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program builds on fundamental skills while introducing more advanced techniques, strategy, and live training appropriate for each student's experience level. Students learn takedowns, guard passing, submissions, escapes, and positional control while improving strength, coordination, confidence, and problem-solving abilities.
 

As students mature, classes place greater emphasis on technical precision, discipline, teamwork, and resilience, preparing them for competition if they choose or simply helping them become more confident athletes. Whether training for recreation, self-defence, or personal growth, students benefit from a structured curriculum and expert coaching in a supportive environment.

Our 5–7 year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program introduces children to the fundamentals of BJJ in a fun, structured, and encouraging environment. Through engaging drills and age-appropriate activities, students develop balance, coordination, confidence, listening skills, and respect while learning basic grappling movements, positional control, and self-defence concepts.
 

Classes emphasize teamwork, discipline, and positive reinforcement, helping young students build strong physical and social skills while fostering a lifelong love of martial arts. Our experienced instructors create a safe learning environment where every child can progress at their own pace and celebrate their successes on and off the mats.
