The best martial arts club in town. Having world class bjj and excellent striking, these greatly structured programs starts with the kids leading to the adults. Our daughter loves going to both bjj and kickboxing, we will be raising all of our kids through their program. I enjoy both the privates and classes. Being more on the competitive side, it suits beginners to striving competitors lead by accoladed coaches. It also has a great workout room with a sauna for all your needs. Tyrone Tuccaro

Done a few drop ins here and I’ll definitely be coming back. The gym is clean, spacious, and has a great community. The coaches are excellent and knowledgeable offering tips and giving time to help their members improve. The showers included in the gym with complimentary shampoo is a bonus. One of the best gyms in Alberta!

I've been coming here for a year now and my only regret is that I didn't start sooner! Scott and Tristan are excellent coaches - Very approachable and always invested in helping everyone improve no matter the experience level. The gym is always very clean and well maintained. Having access to a shower after a class is a huge bonus as well. The community itself is great and extremely welcoming to all new members. I would encourage anyone who has thought about joining to give it a try, you will not regret it.

I started Jiu-Jistsu in a friend's garage then began attending a gym for a couple of years in Airdrie before I started training at "the Fort." Very welcoming, friendly atmosphere and a great team of competitors. People of all ages are always competing at different levels. The culture is very positive and they are concerned with the safety of everyone there. I myself am not really interested in competing and would only come after work during my shift. It doesn't matter what level you are at or how old you are, Tristan and Scott will work with you and teach you. I really can't say enough nice things about them. The gym is very nice and everything is clean and well kept. Tristan regularly competes at worlds in Vegas and recently came back with gold in Black Belt Masters 1. I see his mindset rubbing off on his students and they are also competing at the highest levels. Anyone who wants to learn Jiu-jitsu and is in Fort McMurray would be stupid not to try "The Fort."

The Fort Martial Arts is an amazing place to train. The coaches Tristan and Scott are awesome — extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful no matter your skill level. They create a very positive and welcoming environment where everyone feels supported. The gym is always clean, well-organized, and professional. You learn a lot every class, and it’s easy to make great friends because of how friendly and respectful the environment is. On top of that, having access to a gym and a sauna is a huge bonus. Highly recommend The Fort Martial Arts to anyone looking to train jiu-jitsu in a high-quality environment.
