We 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! The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, disciplined and skilled. Always giving their best for their students' development. We will for sure come back once our schedule is manageable. I will 100% recommend Bravé, no doubt!!!

We 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. Coach Kenny is a phenomenal coach. He is very welcoming and ensures that every kid feels safe and welcomed. Free Play for Kids and Catholic Social Services are very fortunate for this partnership. Everyone is willing to help each other. You can find good rolls all around, regardless of your own level. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great workout, strength, skill-building, and so much more

Oh man, where do I even begin? Training at Brave has been nothing short of an incredible experience. Whether you're starting from ground zero or you're an advanced fighter with years of experience, Brave is the place you want to be. The coaches, KB and Kenny, are nothing short of phenomenal. Their dedication to your learning and growth is unmatched. What truly sets Brave apart is the genuine care and commitment that KB and Kenny have for their students. They’re not just there to teach, they’re there to ensure you succeed. Whether it’s staying late to help you perfect a technique, offering personalized advice, or giving you that extra push of encouragement when you need it most, they are always willing to go the extra mile. If you’re looking for a gym that will challenge you, support you, and help you become the best version of yourself, Brave is the place to be. Highly recommend!

There are great gyms & excellent coaches out there, but Brave stands out above the rest! Of course we are receiving world class coaching & learning great technique. But there is more here & you feel it as soon as you walk through their doors. I attribute this to the natural ability of the entire coaching team to be community builders. This is such a unique skill & they bring it to life with intention in each of their interactions. It goes beyond the greetings & smiles, they take the time & they care. They partner with other local organizations that are values-aligned & amplify great causes beyond martial arts. They are respected in the community & prioritize leaving a positive lasting impact. The best part is, this models the way for all members - kids & adults alike - to be genuine with each other & act with the same care. We are so grateful to have found this place that welcomed our whole family with open arms & I can’t say enough about how excellent their approach & leadership has shaped excellent programs, especially one that my kids at varying ages all love. Over the summer, our littlest one attended her first full day summer camp ever & she wanted so badly to invite her new friend for a play date - a 14 yr old! I’ve never seen mixed age groups work so well & inspire real connections to be built between kids (I had run into the teen & she indeed had enjoyed spending the day with a little as well!) This is just one of many examples of how they do things different here & it works. Way to go team! Can’t wait to see all the great things to come 🤙🏽

Starting 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. Cannot recommend this gym enough. Come for the fitness, stay for the community!
