Here is what actual students and parents have to say about our Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Combat Submission Wrestling program...

Coming from a limited background in traditional Japanese Ju Jitsu, I was unsure how I would fit in at Martial Arts planet. After training here for almost 10 months I have to say that I couldn't be happier with the switch. While i still have an appreciation and respect for the traditional arts, it does not compare to the experience of "alive" training with actively resisting opponents. Mike and Rebecca could not be better coaches, they always take the time to help and answer questions on and off the mats. I'm glad I found a place like this to train while in Kingston and they have inspired me to keep on training even after I'm gone. Kevin G.


I am currently enrolled in the BJJ and Vale Tudo classes. The classes themselves are a great workout, very challenging and a load of fun! The students and instructors are exceptionally friendly and create an environment that's perfect for learning new skills and developing yourself both physically and mentally. I'd recommend these classes to anyone and have already done so to many of my friends. Mike H.

Choke


Most fights or attacks end up on the ground at some point. Thanks to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/Submission wrestling class, I feel confident I can defend myself in those situations. It's also a great workout. Thanks guys! Teena H.


Having trained in the Grappling program for the past year, I've not only thoroughly enjoyed the classes but I've enjoyed the opportunity to train with many great experts such as John Machado and Erik Paulson. Sensei Sweeney teaches his classes in a safe and friendly environment and is always striving to improve his own skills, which in turn improves ours. Jed M.

Rickson


The degree of intensity and enthusiasm Sensei Sweeney dedicates into every seminar exhibits his indisputable commitment to his students. The method of instruction at Martial Arts Planet creates an environment for camaraderie and cooperation, the motivation to succeed, and the determination for development. The training I have received while at Martial Arts Planet has furnished me with an invaluable dimension of discipline and self confidence which I have been able to employ in other areas of my life. I am honored to be involved with such a friendly and helpful community of instructors and students. Jason M.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU / GRAPPLING

BJJ History | FAQs | Gallery | Get Involved

"95% of all self-defense situations end up in clinch range or on the ground... Grappling is the most neglected range of self-defense in most martial art systems."

Mike, Rebecca and their BJJ teachers

Mike and Rebecca Sweeney with Nova Uniao Black Belts Wagnney Fabiano, Wendell Alexander and Leo Santos. Mr. Sweeney, who recently received his Black Belt from Professor Fabiano, is Kingston, Ontario's highest ranking Brazilian Jiu-jitsu instructor!

At the crux and core of our grappling system is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (aka Gracie Jiu-jitsu). Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling art that was popularized in America by the legendary Gracie family. BJJ concentrates on dominating your opponent by using angles, leverage, and superior body positioning to control an opponent’s body movement. A person that has gained a superior position is much more able to safely apply a finishing hold or to start striking, allowing a smaller person to defeat a much larger attacker. Although not often their first choice for training, BJJ is also excellent for women who, during assaults, are frequently taken to the ground.

So, whether you’re looking for an intense workout or unrivaled self-defense training, you'll love our program.
