About

Bravé Core Values

Meet our in-house instructors specializing in all our programs.

Martial
Integrity

We are martial artists first. We train with purpose, not just to sweat, but to grow. Technique, strategy, and fundamentals are the core of everything we do.

World-Class Coaching, Always

Our coaches are seasoned athletes and lifelong students of the game. We commit to coaching that challenges, inspires, and respects every student’s journey.

Community is Strength

You’re not just joining a gym—you’re joining a tribe. We cultivate a culture of mutual respect, encouragement, and camaraderie. No egos. Just warriors building each other up.

Your Safe Space
to Grow

We are fiercely committed to inclusivity and safety. Bravé is a home for everyone, regardless of experience, background, or identity. Everyone sweats. Everyone belongs.

Clean Space.
Clear Mind.

A clean gym is a reflection of respect—for the art, for our teammates, and for ourselves. We hold our space to the highest standard, every day.

Legacy Through Learning

We don’t just train fighters—we build leaders. Our dream is to create students who carry the torch forward, who one day surpass us in skill, character, and impact

Philosophy

BRAVÉ MMA & FITNESS is a martial arts and fitness studio that is dedicated to building a generation of people that are changed for the better by the transformative impact of dedicated martial arts training. 

We hold to our hearts the belief that the pursuit of the physical qualities of strength, speed, power, flexibility, and the attributes that we associate with athleticism as a whole are worthy pursuits. The ability to improve these physical qualities requires discipline, strategy, dedication, and toughness. Mental attributes that must be harnessed in order to be the best that you can be.

A good gym is like a forge. The same way layers of metal are folded under the heat of an intense fire, being hammered and carefully moulded into a weapon — a human being is moulded into there most physically capable self through the commitment of regimented training.  

We want to train people into martial artists. We don’t want to exercise people, into blowing off steam for fun. Sure, that is a byproduct of training but it is important to remember the key difference between training and exercise. Training is a strategic approach towards cultivating skill. In order to give our students skills we as coaches have to craft classes that strategically allow for the steady absorption of incrementally more difficult techniques that are honed through a mastery of fundamental principles.

As coaches it is our dream to create a legacy of students that can hopefully one day outshine our own resumes. As hungry as we are to excel as athletes, BRAVÉ is about its members, and there stories, and we are grateful that you chose us to be a part of it.

Our History

2001

Our journey started at a young age. Kenny began training in Tae Kwon Do at the tender age of 9 and quickly realized the power and discipline that martial arts can bring. KB, on the other hand, went straight into MMA at the age of 14 and has since become a professional fighter.

Brave MMA and Fitness proudly opened its first location in West Edmonton in 2023, bringing high-level martial arts and fitness training to the local community. Focused on building strength, discipline, and confidence, Brave offers programs in MMA, wrestling, striking, and conditioning for all ages and skill levels. The facility quickly became a hub for athletes and families alike, creating a welcoming space where dedication meets results.

I only did the boxing classes but Every day I could make it i did. KB was great to work with and the community was always very inviting and encouraging. Even in a big class of students KB would take the time to speak one on one during drills to help hone and master the skills being taught. Whether students had been there for weeks or months or years, everyone could learn. It was a great way to release some energy and get some exercise in. Great classes, I would definitely recommend it for all experience levels!
High level coaching and staff. Very team oriented and friendly environment. All levels are welcomed and respected. Brave has built itself from a modest, humble and small gym into a growing multi facility gym with 2 locations. I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for more than 15 years and teaching for a decade. The level of attention to detail and focus on student progress and coaching as well as general practice of gym ownership is very inspiring and demands high praise. KB and Kenny have truly built something remarkable and any student of Brave is in very good hands. I highly reccomend checking them out and trying a class! You won't be disappointed.
Amazing facility with a gym & the best trainers/coaches! It’s family friendly with lots of classes for all levels. I love the vibe here! As a woman it can be intimidating, but Kenny & KB have really created something amazing here. Shoutout to the calisthenics/mobility/strength coach Adam for making sure the community stays injury free ❤️
Professionalism at its peak and wonderfull environment. Great and different coaching team and many schedules available for children, women and men adults according to beginner, intermediate and advanced level. Loving the training here.
Super friendly gym, would strongly recommend to beginners and anyone interested in just starting there MMA journey. Extremely kind coach’s that want to see you succeed and are constantly engaged with the students. Worth every penny!
