KIKUNAGA MARTIAL ARTS - GRACIE JIU-JITSU

KIKUNAGA MARTIAL ARTS - GRACIE JIU-JITSU opened its doors in the Junction–Carleton Village area of Toronto as an authorized Jiu-Jitsu Global Federation (JJGF) Educational Unit. The academy presents a lineage and curriculum tied to the Rickson Gracie/JJGF tradition and lists Andre Kikunaga as the lead instructor and local representative within that network. Classes are organised into adult and children’s programs: Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (Adult Foundations), Little Samurais (ages 4–9) and Jr. Samurais (ages 10–14). Published times on the academy site show adult classes Monday and Wednesday 6:00–7:00 AM and Saturday 10:15–11:30 AM; Little Samurais Monday and Wednesday 5:00–6:00 PM and Saturday 9:00–10:00 AM; Jr. Samurais Tuesday and Thursday 5:00–6:00 PM and Saturday 9:00–10:00 AM. The curriculum includes training in both gi and no-gi contexts, standing self-defence, distance management and anti-bullying material for younger students. Andre Kikunaga’s profile lists broad cross-training — Judo, BJJ, Aikido, multiple Karate styles, Kenjutsu, Koryu Jujutsu, Jeet Kune Do and Southern Shaolin Kung Fu — and ongoing study with Professor Pablo Flores (BJJ) and Senseis Elmer Gale and Jesse Brown (Judo). The site emphasises his focus on character development and confidence-building for children. Operational details visible on the academy site include a school-year unlimited membership offer and a formal belt evaluation policy: students with four stripes may take a three-hour evaluation for a $100 fee that covers the evaluation, official belt and registration, and a custom rank certificate upon promotion.
