Ipe Dojo: Judo and BJJ Club in Toronto

Ipe Dojo: Judo and BJJ Club in Toronto opened in 2023 when Sensei Jose Eudes Perez Monteiro and Sensei Ana established the school after relocating to Canada. The Toronto location at 3385A Yonge Street (entrance on Golfdale Ave) sits a short walk from Yonge & Lawrence station; the organisation also runs a second facility at 15 Willis Road in Woodbridge. The name Ipê is drawn from the Brazilian tree, a nod to the founders’ roots and the connection the dojo keeps with Associacao de Judo Higashi in Brazil, which Sensei Jose founded in 1992 and where he coached over 110 students to black belt. Instruction at Ipe Dojo spans Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes listed for gi and no-gi BJJ as well as kids and youth programs. The site identifies Sensei Jose and Sensei Ana as Founder & Head Coach and President & Head Coach respectively, with Sensei David and Sensei Jooyoung named as BJJ coaches; programs are presented with a structured curriculum rooted in both judo and jiu-jitsu traditions. The dojo highlights flexibility in scheduling and an unlimited membership model so students can attend multiple time-slots. Practical details echo the founders’ emphasis on accessibility: the Toronto address is convenient to transit and the Woodbridge location offers on-site parking. The website also notes a seven-day trial that includes a gi for participants who join. For contact and class times, the dojo publishes a full schedule and additional information through its site and social channels.
