Essence Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Essence Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Belmont was established to share the true core of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the local community, focusing on helping students progress at their own pace. The academy is led by a team of experienced black and coloured belts, including Jake O'Driscoll (1st degree black belt), Ryan Brennan (black belt), and several others with deep competitive and coaching backgrounds. This collective approach brings a range of perspectives to the mats, ensuring students benefit from varied technical insights and a strong sense of camaraderie. Training at Essence covers both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with a clear pathway for beginners and more advanced practitioners alike. The schedule includes specific no-gi classes for all levels, as well as a dedicated no-gi beginners class, making it straightforward for newcomers to start with the fundamentals. For those interested in traditional gi training, there are all-levels classes and a competition-focused session, reflecting the academy’s commitment to both recreational and competitive BJJ. An open mat session rounds out the weekly timetable, giving students extra time to drill, roll, or work on individual areas of interest. Essence Brazilian Jiu Jitsu welcomes adult students of all backgrounds, and drop-ins are accepted for classes and open mat. The academy’s coaching team is accessible and encourages steady, confident skill development, making it a reliable choice for anyone looking to pursue Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Belmont area.
