I’ve had a great experience training at this Budo Burnaby for a couple years now, and it genuinely feels like one of those rare places where everyone belongs. Whether you’re brand new to jiu jitsu or training with competitive goals, the environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on real learning. Coach Mike Hansen and Coach Uriel Lopez are both incredibly attentive teachers. They break things down clearly, pay attention to details, and take the time to help you understand not just what to do, but why it works. You can tell they care about each person’s progress, regardless of experience level. What really stands out most is the culture. The gym is friendly and respectful. People train hard and look out for each other, which makes it easy to stay consistent and keep improving. It’s a place where you can challenge yourself, learn at your own pace, and actually enjoy showing up to train. Highly recommend for anyone looking for solid instruction and a genuinely positive training environment.

I have been training at Budo for over 3 years. Not just great martial arts, but a great community of amazing people from all walks of life. I have made some amazing friends while learning from top instructors who live, and breath BJJ. Great for beginners, casual trainers, and more serious competitors. There is a great group of women who train regularly and have classes just for the ladies. I am in my 50s and feel more and more invigorated to train in this safe and welcoming environment.

Whether you're brand new to jiu-jitsu or have been training for decades, I can't recommend Budo enough. The coaches are fantastic and genuinely care about your individual goals—whether that's competing, getting in shape, or simply expanding your knowledge. They'll take the time to guide you in the right direction. Budo is also filled with great training partners who share the same supportive, ego-free mindset as the coaches. Great gym, great people! Come check it out!

I’ve been coming to Budo for the past 3 years both for jiu jitsu and kickboxing and it’s been a great experience. All the coaches I have worked with have have kept a constantly rotating curriculum so that we develop well rounded grappling and striking skills, while also keeping track of what areas each of us need to work on as individuals
