Action & Reaction MMA Academy

Best BJJ Club in Toronto and the GTA
For a while now, I’ve been interested in learning the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ); the goal being to improve my grappling skills.

Having a background as a judo practitioner and teacher, I had a good idea of what I was looking for in both a BJJ instructor and a BJJ club. I was looking for an experienced and knowledgeable BJJ instructor; a certified BJJ black belt that was able to teach in a relatable way so that even a layperson could understand.
Although there are some similarities between BJJ and Judo, there are also many differences. As well, I was looking for a BJJ instructor without the attitude/​ego. Not an easy task. In my search for a BJJ club, some told me that they had the best BJJ School in Toronto… and if you don’t believe them, just ask them.
As for the BJJ Club, my wish list was simple: cleanliness, showers, lockers, ample mat space to roll and a friendly staff/​environment. I had visited a few other BJJ Clubs in the North York, Toronto and across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and while some of them came close, none met all of my criteria. That is, until a friend recommended Action & Reaction MMA Academy in Toronto.
I went in for a free trial class and loved it! They have everything I was looking for… and more.
The owner and head BJJ Instructor — Fernando Zulick — is the real deal. He is a native of Brazil and prolific medalist in the BJJ tournament scene across Toronto, Ontario and beyond.
He has the ability to teach BJJ to beginners and advanced students, patiently breaking down and explaining the mechanics of each technique so that not only do you understand how to do it, but also why it works. It’s very rare for a top BJJ competitor to also be able to teach.
In other words, Action & Reaction MMA offers the best BJJ classes I’ve been to in Toronto… hands down.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn BJJ or just improve their game to give these guys a try.
