The BJJ Scene in Calgary

Calgary addresses carry a quadrant (NW, NE, SW or SE), and it's worth checking before you commit. A gym in the far northeast and one in the deep southwest can be a long drive apart, especially on a winter evening, so training in your own part of the city usually makes sense.

Happily, the scene covers all four quadrants rather than gathering downtown. Gracie Barra has several locations around the city, and Alliance and Carlson Gracie have academies here as well. Some of the review leaders on Google are just as spread out: Affinity Academy Calgary in the northwest, Straight Blast Gym Calgary in the northeast and Main Quest BJJ in the southwest.

Quite a few Calgary gyms pair jiu-jitsu with kickboxing, Muay Thai or MMA, so check the schedule for the gi and no-gi sessions you're after. And while most of the training is inside city limits, there's a handful of gyms in nearby Okotoks, Airdrie, Cochrane and Chestermere. If you live in one of those towns, you may find something closer to home than anything in Calgary itself.
