Wishing everyone a fun and safe Victoria Day weekend. Please note the schedule changes for those training this weekend. One week until the Windsor Open!
At Union, we believe in lifelong learning, steady improvement, and earned achievement. Every class. Every roll. An opportunity to grow.
Recently in Vancouver, Professor Joe was awarded a stripe on his black belt by his coach and good friend, Kabir Bath—recognizing his dedication to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, his leadership, and the community he continues to build.
When asked what it meant to him, he said:
“It’s the people, the journey, and the memories that matter most.”
We’re proud of you, Joe. Thanks for leading the way!

Every time you step on the mats, you have a chance to improve. That growth is small, almost unnoticeable in the moment, but over time it adds up. Hard positions become easier. You find the higher ground. You start to see more opportunities. You embody more skill. You discover your own style.
That’s what promotions mark: the accumulated work.
Congratulations to all of our members who received their promotions. Many more to come!

A couple weeks ago, we had the opportunity to travel to Vancouver and represent our affiliate, Kaboom BJJ, at the Prime Series Tournament.
An unforgettable experience—Kaboom earned 1st overall in both Adult Gi and No-Gi.
Beyond the results, it was about connection, growth, and shared moments on and off the mats.
Very grateful for the invitation and the hospitality. Thank you, Kaboom.

Union Jiu-Jitsu proudly hosted Dojo Storm 3 this afternoon.
What started as a friendly competition between two schools has grown into a four-school event, giving our young athletes the opportunity to compete in a small-scale tournament surrounded by their teammates, coaches, and families.
We are tremendously proud of the 80+ competitors who stepped onto the mats today. There was serious talent, outstanding sportsmanship, and a whole lot of tough, hard-earned fun.
Moments like this are what it’s all about — growth, courage, and community.
A big shout out and thank you to our partner schools, Enhanced BJJ, Crossroads Fitness and Martial Art, and SKIL Dojo.
See you all at Dojo Storm 4.
Wishing a peaceful and blessed Ramadan to all of our BJJ family who are observing. 🌙
May this month bring you strength, discipline, reflection, and community — both on and off the mats. We’re proud to train alongside you and support you during this special time.
Ramadan Mubarak from all of us at the club 🤍
We’re OPEN this Family Day!!
All kids classes will run as scheduled. Don’t forget to register your young athletes for our Dojo Storm Championships on February 28th!
Adult classes will be open mat style following the regular class schedule.
Happy Family Day!! 🥋🔥
Jiu-Jitsu is a journey.
Every stripe, every belt, every hard round when you didn’t feel like showing up — it all counts. No two paths look the same, and that’s what makes it powerful.
Proud of everyone who stepped forward and earned their milestone. Keep building. 👊
