4worldlovers:
Absolutely amazing place to learn wrestling and have fun. The instructors are better than any place I’ve ever been and they actually make your experience there enjoyable and educational. After the free first class im definitely going again.

Phenomenal school with phenomenal instructors. Sensei Sarah and Sifu Jay are business partners, but they could also be considered parents to this family they have created. Each brings their strengths to the table and compliments the other. They create an inclusive and open environment where people are free to be themselves and come together to learn not only about martial arts, but also themselves. Now from a personal side, Esteem/HAVOC is the only place in Calgary that offers catch-as-catch-can wrestling and the instruction is phenomenal. Jay takes you through what works and omits the garbage that won't. He makes wrestling come alive in a unique way that I have not seen duplicated. He cares about his craft and cares to preserve its legacy. What you get goes beyond the amateur style and omits the theatrics of sports entertainment; it's wrestling at its core: powerful, unrestrained, civilized. As a lifelong wrestling fan and as someone who's looking to compete at some open events at...

Fantastic facility that's well run, motivating, energetic, and kid/youth/adult friendly. My daughter participated for a few years in their Little Dragons, regular karate classes, and some competition classes. I continue to participate in fitboxing. There's ample room and classes are safely spaced out. I recommend giving them a try!

Everything is AWESOME! I have seen a big confidence boost in both of my girls since they have started classes here and I would recommend this gym for anyone thinking of trying something new for their kids or themselves. This gym provides a safe, friendly and clean environment to practice BJJ where everyone is treated with respect.

My daughter started about 3 months ago and I think she’s doing really well. That’s because of the amazing instruction and, most importantly for her age, other children who are very welcoming and friendly.

I love this place. Super clean facility, friendly and knowledgeable people who are more than willing to help you feel safe and comfortable learning the art.

I started BJJ at the Affinity Academy in February. It was a challenge for me to get started because I was afraid and quite anxious. It was something completely new to me and I thought maybe I wouldn’t be strong or “tough” enough to join. From my very first class until now, everyone has been so welcoming and very supportive with one another. The Academy is a very positive and family friendly environment. Our Sensei’s Andell and Clifton are professional and very knowledgeable of this art. Classes are well structured and quite challenging, which keeps me coming back for more. BJJ is beginning to change my life in many ways. I take pride in being a part of this team. I will be forever grateful and will continue to be humble learning this gentle art.

I currently have 2 kids in the jujitsu program at Affinity and couldn’t ask for a better introduction for them both to martial arts. The coaches are excellent at engaging with young children and the other members have been very welcoming. Has very quickly become the favourite activity for both my kids and I believe the technical skills and the character lessons taught to them there will benefit them greatly as they grow. I would highly recommend this gym and these coaches to anyone looking for a BJJ program for their sons or daughters.

Excellent programs for both adults and kids with great instructors. A family and community oriented academy with a safe and fun learning environment. A wonderful martial arts academy for all ages, highly recommended.

What can I say about Affinity, that hasn’t already been said?!

It’s amazing! I love it. The instructors are awesome, very knowledgable, approachable and just all round good people. A friend convinced me to come try, although to be honest I have always wanted to learn bjj so it really didn’t take much convincing at all, and as soon as I stepped on the mats and tried my first class, I was hooked.

The people at Affinity treat you like family, the sr. belts are always more than willing to slow down and show you proper form and technique.

I could go on for ever, but will just say this,I definitely have zero regrets about joining and I plan to train for years to come!

Thank you Affinity Academy for making me feel welcome, and guiding me down this new path in life!

A great environment that quickly becomes your family. They have so many different programs that there truly is something for everyone of all ages and skill set. I have learned so much at this school in such a short time and it is the direct effect of good people, in a good place, all doing something we feel very strongly for. Would recommend Affinity Academy to anyone thinking of starting the sport.
