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.

He is a 5th Degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt - the highest ranked Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt in Alberta and among the highest ranked in Canada. Born in Petrópolis, Rio de Janiero, Brazil, a small town in the southeast region of Brazil, his love for jiu jitsu started at the age of 14 when he met mentor and teacher, Aloisio Silva. After receiving his blue belt when he was 15 years old, he moved to Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro with Aloisio Silva to join Aloisio's "Team Dojo".

As a young determined athlete, he spent countless hours at the gym with Aloisio and trained 2-3 times every day. With intense perseverance and training, he obtained his black belt from Aloisio Silva at the age of 20. Anderson's lineage can be traced down to the Gracie line, in that, Aloisio Silva received his black belt under Master Carlos Robson Gracie, son of Carlos Gracie.

In 1999, Anderson moved to Orange County, California with Aloisio and had the great honor of finding a master of life who became a dear friend and mentor, Master Joe Moreira. Master Joe Moreira is an 8th degree Coral Red and White belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, 3rd degree Black Belt in Judo, a former UFC veteran, and the current President of the United States Federation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
