Jiu-Jitsu &
Kickboxing in Guelph
Beginner-friendly martial arts for adults and kids in a welcoming, high-standard training environment — from first-timers and hobbyists to serious competitors.
A Modern Approach to Traditional Martial Arts
519 Jiu Jitsu is a community-focused martial arts gym in Guelph, Ontario. We offer structured classes for kids, teens, and adults with a focus on practical skill development, confidence, fitness, self-defense, and personal growth.
Our coaching blends traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with modern learning methods, including game-based training, positional rounds, and constraint-led approaches that help students learn by solving real problems. We also integrate wrestling concepts, judo concepts, takedowns, positional control, escapes, submissions, and live training in a safe and supportive environment.
We believe training should be challenging, but it should also be fun, welcoming, and sustainable. You do not need experience. You do not need to be in shape first. You just need to show up, and we will help you take the next step.
