Best place I have ever been to in my life. Good clear communication from the people running the society and it is run very well. Very clean mats, instructors know their stuff very well, seminars/visitors, team day, very respectful and understanding people, and most important of all are the good nice people to train with and with care in mind. Forgot to say it is also fun and there are kids classes for children. Every class is hard but is another opportunity to learn more.

My 5 year old son started going to classes here a few weeks ago and I've found it to be a great choice for martial arts plus he loves the interactions. The teachers are great and friendly and know their stuff. Classes are affordable as well. Highly recommended.

Brought our 5 year old today for a trial class. The instructors made him feel like he had been coming for years. He was so excited and liked it so much that we signed him up before we left. Class was run excellently and the staff are super friendly. You can tell they are passionate to teach.. but most of all committed to making everyone fell like part of the family. Hands down the best experience we have had with our sons activities.. and in a business in general.

Home away from home! This gym is very well run, super clean and well maintained (very important for grappling), has a wonderful, friendly culture, welcoming to newcomers, and has incredible talent on the mats. Highly recommended.

I only joined this gym a few months ago along with my two kids. The instructors and everyone from the gym made us feel welcomed and a part of the Halifax BJJ family straight away. My kids adore all the instructors and can't wait to attend every class to work hard, have fun and be surrounded by friendly faces.

This is one of the most welcoming Jiu-Jitsu gyms I've been to! The owners give off that small town hospitality, and everyone is friendly and warm. The level of Jiu-Jitsu is no joke either (I'm a brown belt). Definitely pay a visit!

I am from Brazil and I was very well welcomed for everyone! It's the best BJJ gym in Halifax with the best staff! It's one of the best environment that I have been training so far! I really recommend for everyone!

Halifax BJJ society is the best place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Halifax. The coaches are great practitioners and teachers of BJJ, and are all great people. There are classes almost every day for people who are total beginners, and many classes (morning and evening) for more advanced practitioners. There is also a fantastic kids program! If you would like to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, check out Halifax BJJ!

Earlier this week I did my first BJJ class here — it was such a fun, educational and enjoyable experience! This friendly environment made learning a new sport less intimidating. Knowing how to protect and defend yourself can be a powerful tool.

Affordable prices, the instructors are very knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Everyone is extremely welcoming, and are always willing to help out new students. With classes running 7 days per week, I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

A clean, friendly, and inclusive space to train with world class instructors and teammates. The schedule is extremely robust catering to both the before work crowd, after work crowd and everything in between. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a competitor, or just starting out, this is the spot to check out.

I had the pleasure of visiting Halifax BJJ Society with my wife this past summer on a trip to the East Coast. The staff and student base were very welcoming, the training was excellent, and the vibe was top notch. We had a blast with everyone on our visit, and they were kind enough to even lend us gis to help us with the challenges of jiu jitsu laundry while on vacation! The class schedule seemed well balanced for beginners and experienced students, the front desk was transparent when I asked about price points for memberships (which were a steal compared to the cost of training at most places we visit), and the level of instruction and training partners was very good. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone in the area looking for a place to train, or for any visitors to Halifax and the surrounding communities!

This is hands down the best gym ever. Big clean space, amazing coaches, great teammates, great schedule (there is a class for everyone). Its a great gym if you want to just learn the basics and do bjj for fun or if you want to compete. The team spirit is really high. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Safety is a top priority. Its an amazing community.

I found Halifax BJJ just over 3 years ago, and since the day I walked through the doors, they made me feel like a part of the family. The entire gym, be it morning, noon or evening class, has a community like no other. To add, 3 years in, I’ve learned a ton, and we have the top competitors in Atlantic Canada. If you’re someone looking for a new hobby with a friendly community, or want to become a top competitor, there’s no where else to look.

I’ve been at this gym for almost 4 years. The instructors are top notch. The gym is very inclusive with no ego and very welcoming. Having morning, lunch and evening classes gives you the ability to train multiple times a week.

As someone who has trained at multiple MMA gyms over the years, I can confirm that the Halifax BJJ Society is top notch. Highly skilled friendly instructors, tons of space, and a competitive nature mixed with everyone's eagerness to help you grow makes this place second to none in Halifax. Highly recommend.

I’m a newcomer to Canada, and joining Halifax BJJ Society has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. This gym is more than just a place to train; it’s a welcoming community of friendly and supportive individuals. The training here is top-notch, and I’ve learned so much about Jiu Jitsu and grappling. But what truly sets this place apart is the people. Everyone, from fellow practitioners to the coaches, especially Josh Whalen, the co-founder and main coach, has been incredibly helpful and encouraging. If you’re in Halifax and looking for a place to train Jiu Jitsu and grappling, I highly recommend Halifax Jiu Jitsu Society. It’s more than just a gym! osss 🤙🏻

Super amazing place to train BJJ. Amazing instructors, super clean new bright facilities, and fantastic welcoming gym culture. Perfect for total beginners and high level competitors since there’s a class for everyone. 11/10 BJJ gym come try a class!

My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town, and Joel took us right under his wing. The facility is clean, and the vibes are incredible. Highly recommend this place.

This gym is well run, clean, has a fantastic atmosphere, and has incredible instructors. I would highly recommend this gym to anybody interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Best BJJ training place in HRM, hands down. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly instructors who clearly put the students progress and well being first. You can freeze your account if you’re sick or out of town, you can train any day of the week, morning, noon and evenings. Incredible atmosphere and well maintained building. Can’t ask more than that!

If you’ve had the opportunity to train elsewhere and you come here you’ll know it’s second to none. If you have only trained here you couldn’t possibly understand just how awesome you have it. The perfect gym culture, inviting, supporting and always safe and clean. You have the opportunity to learn from multiple high level instructors who have some great accolades to show for it. More than just the gym and atmosphere at Halifax bjj, you have owners that will give you the shirts of their backs to have you there. I can personally say when times were rough these guys helped me out and kept me on the mat. Also I am not a bot, this is not a bot answer, this comes from your super outrageous sweaty fat guy! If you are between gyms, check out these guys for sure, if you are a first timer, this is the best gym in the city, hands down.

Amazing gym. Fantastic atmosphere. Great team dynamic. Tremendously knowledgeable instructors. Honestly, I've been in the sport for 30 years and this gym is one of the most inclusive and respectable gyms I've had the privilege of being connected to.

Dropped in here for the lunchtime nogi class and was thrilled to see the mats packed with all levels of grapplers. Really relaxed atmosphere mixed in with very high level instruction and rolls. I know that Canadians have a reputation of being friendly but the members of this gym took it to another level. Good times

Very impressive establishment. Clean and well organized. Class was hard but well structured.

We enrolled our 5 year old son a few weeks ago and he loves it! The coaches are so great with the kids as well. They make the movements as relatable as possible for a child and keep it really fun. A wonderful way to get you kid moving and introduced to martial arts.

The boys perfected the gym atmosphere this place is an absolute 10/10. Great training partners, sick looking space, super clean, can’t ask for much more than what these guys created. No other gym in Halifax comes even remotely close to HFXBJJ
