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
The Start
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.
West Edmonton
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.
South Edmonton
In 2025, Brave MMA and Fitness expanded its impact with the grand opening of its second location in South Edmonton. This new facility continues the mission of empowering individuals through expert-led training in MMA, wrestling, and fitness. With state-of-the-art equipment and a strong community atmosphere, the South Edmonton gym is already becoming a go-to destination for those looking to train hard, grow stronger, and be part of something bold.

Google ReviewWe had an amazing time at Bravé. And I cannot say anything enough, because from the moment we stepped in for a trial class to my son's classes, they are all awesome and always welcoming!

Google ReviewWe can't say enough good things about this place. Children and youth who are in the early stage of the resettlement process in Edmonton have the chance to learn martial arts free of charge.

Google ReviewStarting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu genuinely changed my life, and the coaches at Bravé have been a big part of that. They're super kind, professional, and attentive.
