Karma Jiu Jitsu

Karma Jiu Jitsu teaches from a coaching philosophy that prizes safe, progressive skill-building over flashy moves. Founder and head instructor Raechel — a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt with a judo green belt and collegiate wrestling background — structures classes so fundamental positions and escapes are repeated, then layered into live situational drilling. That practical approach shapes the schedule: morning fundamentals, lunchtime quick drills and longer evening technical-sparring sessions that reflect the same step-by-step progression. The staff roster supports that method. Raechel leads women’s programming and youth development while coaches Mike and Michal run adult beginner and contemporary no-gi sessions respectively; Alan Titone integrates mobility and movement through his E‑RYT yoga training, and Jessle coaches the Superhero (4–6) and kids classes as a blue belt. All active coaches have completed criminal background checks and are SafeSport certified, which the academy cites alongside its emphasis on age-appropriate lesson plans and injury-aware pacing. Weekly offerings are specific and regular: weekday 7:00 a.m. classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Monday and Friday lunchtime classes, evening classes six nights a week (Monday–Friday 8:00–9:30 p.m., plus Saturday 7:00–8:00 p.m.), and multiple youth classes across the week including a Saturday youth competition class. The gym is woman-owned, located at 487 Westney Rd S Unit 4 in Ajax, and lists programs for adults, women, teens and children that follow the same curriculum progression from fundamentals to competition-focused work.
