Dojo Nine (formally Kodokan YYC) is a great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Lead instructors, Randy and Walton Chung are terrific black belt practitioners and instructors and they have the support of several other very qualified and experienced black belt instructors (seven black belts currently at Kodokan). The facility is clean and very conveniently located and accessible. I cannot recommend Kodokan enough, whether you are young, old, male, female, experienced or new to the sport/martial art, Kodokan has the program to help you learn and be the best version of yourself.

I attended a trial class for the first time and ended up signing up for a membership right away.The professors are highly experienced and take the time to carefully explain techniques and help students improve. What impressed me even more was how friendly and welcoming the higher belts were. They were always willing to share tips, answer questions, and help beginners learn.The atmosphere is very positive and beginner-friendly. Even if you have no experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll feel comfortable learning and training here.Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey.

Great instructors, very friendly class environment and lots class schedule options. They offer private lessons which have helped improve my jitsu 'game'.

I have been training at Dojo Nine for several years and I can't say enough great things about it. All the Professors and coaches provide top notch instruction, the atmosphere is always friendly, and the gym is very clean!Recently I haven't been able to train much, so I reached out to Professor Randy for some private sessions. They have been absolutely amazing! Randy is extremely knowledgeable and tailors each session to my goals. And most of all, Randy is just a genuine person that wants you to succeed!

This is an exceptional club with high-level black belts. I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu for many years and have experienced different gyms, and I can confidently say this one is special.I began taking private lessons with Randy last year and it’s been an incredible experience.Randy is a long-time black belt who combines high level skills with humility and an excellent teaching style. He has an amazing ability to slow things down and pinpoint exactly where you need to improve. Every session is fun, engaging, and filled with “aha” moments. Easily my favourite hour of the week. Highly recommend both the club and the private lessons.

Our daughter has been going to Dojo Nine for almost 3 months now and we love it. All the coaches are amazing, particularly Professor Randy, who made us feel like we were part of the Dojo Nine family the first day we showed up.

I am visiting Calgary and and wanted to keep practicing while I was away from home. I am new to the Jiu-Jitsu world. Only have 6 months experience. I came in for the open mat on Saturday and then ended up taking a class as well as a private lesson. I really enjoyed the environment which was clean, and very friendly to new folks. I learned a lot from my lesson. Highly recommend Randy and his crew

Took a trial class here. Could not continue training with these guys due to the distance from my house, but I have nothing but positive things to say about their gym. Super friendly instructors. Really detail oriented, and they get after it.

Dropped in for the first time today for an open mat and had a great experience. Lots of talented players and a welcoming environment. Will definitely be back in the future. Thank you to Professors Randy and Walton for having me. Great club!

Our kids train at Kodokan, and we can not say enough positive things about this club and the people who operate it. The professors and coaches take a holistic approach to training with lessons that have application both on and off the mats.

Great atmosphere and great community of BJJ practitioners. I appreciate the knowledge shared and the detailed coaching of Professor BJ Baldonado.

2024-03-05T04:43:24.807Z

I visited Kodokan as I was in Calgary for work and the training exceeded my expectations. Professor Walton structured the warm ups to led into the drills and was methodical in his teaching approach. I will definitely come back and train at Kodokan again next time I return to Calgary. Thank you to Angelo as well for fine tuning the details of the moves with me.

I started training here almost a year ago and the experience has been life changing. In the first 3 months I lost 30 pounds and I have never felt younger or healthier before in my life. For anybody thinking of trying BJJ/Martial arts I would highly recommend this place. All the black belts are super friendly and welcoming. I started bringing my son here about 3 months ago as well and he loves it as well.Couldn't be happier with the experience so far.Thank you Kodokan family!
