Claim this gymProfessor Luiz Costa leads Octa BJJ Kitchener and his background shows in the day-to-day class structure. Born in Rio de Janeiro, he started formal striking and grappling arts at six and moved into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the early 1990s, earning his black belt in 2016. Classes reflect that long progression: technical drilling, positional sparring and structured progression through fundamentals are staples of the adult gi curriculum, and coaches reference deliberate skill stages rather than quick fixes during belt-stripe work. The Kitchener location follows the OCTA BJJ family programme with a weekly roster that separates fundamentals and advanced gi sessions for adults, plus targeted classes for women and age-grouped kids programming. Youth offerings include Little Octopus (ages 4–5), Kids BJJ (6–8), Pre-Teen (9–12) and Teens (13–17), and the schedule includes open mat periods for extra practice. The academy also runs introductory sessions as part of its onboarding process. Greg Carrasco is listed among the instructors and brings a distinct movement and conditioning perspective from a background in Shotokan, kickboxing and CrossFit coaching; that shows up in warm-ups, cardio rounds and transition drilling during stand-up-to-guard sequences. Octa BJJ Kitchener operates from 248 Stirling Ave S Unit 5 in Kitchener, Ontario, and is part of the broader OCTA network with an Oakville headquarters and several Ontario locations.
