Lead by IBJJF 3rd degree Black Belt Dan Guillemette Evolution BJJ is designed to provide students with a solid base in Brazilian jiu-jitsu through theories, techniques and principles. Our classes incorporate both fundamentals and drills designed to show students how to use the fluidity of movement, transitions and offensive/defence strategies to improve their game.  You can equate these manoeuvres to a form of kinetic chess where a submission hold is the equivalent of checkmate.

Our Brazilian jiu-jitsu Youth program will help build self-confidence, respect, courage, discipline, sportsmanship, concentration and coordination. The techniques taught will allow a smaller, weaker person to defend themselves against a larger opponent through the use of leverage and angles. Our instructors teach effective self-defence while making each class challenging, technical and fun. Through martial arts your child will develop skills that will last him/her for a lifetime.

In preperation for the Youth BJJ class for kids 7 to 14 years old we recommend that you start your child in our Judo program. This program runs from September until April of each year.  It is given every Saturday morning and will help them develop gestural coordination, the ability to locate oneself in time and space, the ability to pay attention, relational capacity and to grasp the basic knowledge of judo. The primary goal is to have fun and learn without getting hurt. Registration is available here 

Our Women's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Program offers a supportive and empowering environment designed exclusively for women/girls. Whether you're a beginner or have prior experience, our skilled instructors tailor each session to your level, ensuring personalized attention and growth. The program focuses on self-defence, technique, physical fitness, and mental resilience, fostering a strong community of women who train together, build confidence, and achieve their goals. Join us to learn the art of jiu-jitsu in a safe, encouraging space where you can thrive both on and off the mat.

Note - This membership will also provide you access to all our other adult gi, nogi and wrestling classes, including the adult Judo class offered on Saturdays (once the Judo session starts in September) If you want more information about this program please email us at artsmartiauxevolution@videotron.ca
