[Self Defense Image Placeholder]

At 519 Jiu Jitsu, self-defense is at the core of everything we teach. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is widely recognized as one of the most effective self-defense martial arts in the world because it teaches you to control situations using technique and leverage — not size or strength.

Our self-defense training is woven into every class, from kids programs to adult Jiu Jitsu. You'll learn how to manage distance, control an attacker, protect yourself on the ground, and escape bad positions.

Whether you're looking for self-defense for yourself, your child, or your family, our welcoming, structured environment makes it easy to get started with no prior experience.

We welcome students from Guelph, Fergus, Elora, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Centre Wellington, and surrounding areas.
