McMaster Jiu-Jitsu is a club dedicated to the development of grappling skills for the purposes of sport, mixed martial arts, and self-defense. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a high intensity sport that demands incredible levels of discipline, perseverance and critical thinking. Our club welcomes both individuals who have highly competitive aspirations, as well as people with absolutely no martial arts background. Students of all skill levels, physical attributes, and backgrounds gather multiple times on a weekly basis to train together as a team, focusing on not just the outcome of grappling proficiency, but the process of skill development and team building.

We are not accepting new applications at this time.
Following a comprehensive two-year review of the Athletics & Recreation Club Sports portfolio that was completed in spring of 2025, we recently implemented structural changes to ensure the long-term sustainability and alignment of sport programming. As these updates took effect on April 30, 2025, we have implemented a two-year freeze on applications for new clubs to allow time for transitions and evaluations of these changes. New applications may be considered May 1, 2027. Please visit this page for any updates on this process.
