Claim this gymBindner Academy opened in London in 1997 and carries the name of its founder and head instructor, Derek Bindner. Derek is listed as a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu blackbelt under Professor Dragan Konjevic with martial-arts training dating back to 1982 and a background in executive protection and door security. That practical background informs the academy’s emphasis on breathing, situational awareness and movement mechanics rather than sport-only tactics. The academy runs distinct age-grouped kids and teens programs (6–7, 8–12, 13–17) alongside adult offerings designed for different needs: Fusion 8 Foundations, a 26-class course that covers eight essential skills for beginners; Executive Jiu-jitsu tailored for adults 35+; and Fusion Kickboxing/striking components. Staff named on the leadership page include long-time contributors such as Jonathan Roach, who joined in 2024 with a wrestling and sport-conditioning background, Kipp Eaton from the academy’s leadership and coaching roster, and Teresa MacDonald who assists with children’s classes and holds a black belt in Yoshinkan Aikido. Classes and the written curriculum prioritise safe, measurable progression — control, functional delivery combining stand-up and ground grappling, weapons awareness and breath-work are recurring themes. The gym is located at 1615 N Routledge Park #19 in London, ON (N6H 5L6); public materials outline structured programs and a leadership team with specific roles rather than an open, generic class list.
