Reviews of Dark Horse Martial Arts (Driving School)

George Kim

Great atmosphere, that opens the doors to everyone! All levels welcome from beginners to professionals. You will fit in and grow your knowledge in martial arts plus get to spend your time around a kickass group of humans who like to have fun!

The family atmosphere at BVJJ has changed my life in every way which one can hope. From discipline, communicating and being honest to keeping a positive mind. The structure of this club and the men and women behind it make all the challenges of trying a martial art a true joy. Women are greatly encouraged and egos are left at the door. Thank you BVJJ for being a rock in my foundation.

Very welcoming, respectful and empowering to people of all levels. I really didnt know what to expect at my first class now I cant wait for every class! Love it and grateful for all the amazing people I have met because of this experience.

Great place to learn BJJ! The people here make all the difference, everyone from amazingly passionate coaches to all the teammates. As a coach myself I trust this place and would highly recommend to anyone because how highly considered everyone is of safety and protective measures. Only 4 stars because the space feels rather small at times, makes it for a cozy environment :)

I walked into Bow Valley Jiu Jitsu a few months ago as a complete beginner. My friend Georgi was absolutely insistent I come try it out, and I - being in need of a new pursuit and challenge - decided to jump in. I was greeted with smiles, welcoming words, and an atmosphere of safety, encouragement, and positivity. I left that first class immediately hooked. Each and every single time I have come since then, that hasn't changed. Ever. The coaches and students all have the same friendly and team oriented attitude that fosters an incredibly addictive spirit of learning and improvement. Every single time I go to class I learn something new, whether it's feedback from Travis, my classmates during sparring, or when someone wants use me as a guinea pig to try new submissions on. Come out, say hi, learn some moves and maybe try a few rolls! Who knows, you might just find your new favourite thing! ????

Travis and Rich have made me so obsessed with jiu jitsu I might lose my job because of it. Have you ever been so obsessed with something that you just harp on about it over and over again? My coworkers avoid me like the plague, because they know all I'm going to do is talk about leg lock techniques for the next 30 minutes. I've lost all my friends and my family no longer speaks to me because this is all I talk about. If you ever want the feeling of loving something more than your first born child, join BVJJ. Come in for a trial and get your butt kicked in the happiest way possible. Don't blame me of you get (heel) hooked! I did warn you ;)

Can't find much better people than the fine folks at Bow Valley. Always a pleasure to train and compete with.

Matthew Bond

Absolutely outstanding club. Great coaches, great people, and a safe, fun learning environment.

Anthony Nguyen

Top notch jiujitsu club. Very friendly. Highest % of women I have ever seen on a jiujitsu mat, which is a testament to how welcoming and safe the club is. I dropped in for two training sessions and both were great experiences.

Guy Pettigrew

Walked in with zero experience and horrendously unfit. I was made feel very welcome by the friendly, patient coaches and students. There’s a real team environment here with everyone wanting to help each other. Almost a year later it’s become an obsession! Cannot recommend this club enough!!!

Judith Turnbull

Good for what ails you. Unless being strangled ails you. Still, highly recommended ????

When I first walked through the doors at Dark Horse Martial Arts (when it was formerly BVJJ) I immediately felt at home. Everyone was so incredibly welcoming and helpful. No doubt, it is always intimidating beginning something so new and so out of your comfort zone. However, the atmosphere and vibe at the club is unmatched. I've never felt such a sense of belonging more than I do at the club. At one point, it was rare that I missed a single class. Needless to say, I'm so happy the club is open again and I can get back to having no life besides BJJ.

James Hurst

Amazing club with high quality coaches and great training partners. I trained at the club this past year and loved every second of it.

Jordan Miller

Been going here for the past 10 months as a hobbyist jits student. Coaches and students have always been welcoming. Great place to learn how to defend yourself and grow while becoming apart of the ju jitsu family community.

Stacy Kazimer

This is a great gym. They put a lot of work into making it a safe and positive place for everyone to train and learn. They sell good gear at reasonable prices too. If you've never done bjj before, this is a great place to start.
