Greenwood Jiu Jitsu Renovations in Leaside: New Mats, More Space, and a New Shower

Greenwood Jiu Jitsu is nearing the finish line on major renovations at our Leaside, Toronto academy. These upgrades are designed to improve safety, comfort, and training quality for our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu students across Leaside, East York, and surrounding Toronto neighborhoods.

What’s New at Our Toronto Jiu Jitsu Academy

Our renovation work includes several key improvements to the space:

  • New wall mats to increase safety during training and sparring
  • New floor mats for better grip, durability, and cleanliness
  • Removal of interior walls to create a larger, open training area
  • A brand-new shower for student convenience

These updates help create a safer and more professional training environment for both kids and adults.

More Training Space for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Leaside

By removing walls, we’ve significantly expanded our mat space, allowing for smoother class flow and safer training during busy classes. The new mats provide improved cushioning and traction, making them ideal for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, no-gi training, and seminars.

Better Experience for Greenwood Jiu Jitsu Members

The new shower is a valuable addition for students training before work, during the day, or multiple times per week. Combined with the upgraded mats and expanded layout, these renovations reflect our commitment to providing one of the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms in Toronto.

Grand Reopening Coming Soon

We are aiming for a grand reopening between Wednesday the 7th and Friday the 9th, depending on final renovation progress. Members will be updated as soon as the official reopening date is confirmed.

A Stronger Jiu Jitsu Community in East York and Toronto

These improvements mark an exciting step forward for Greenwood Jiu Jitsu as we continue building a welcoming and high-quality training space for the Leaside and East York BJJ community. We look forward to welcoming everyone back onto the mats very soon.
