Waterloo Jiu Jitsu Club

Waterloo Jiu Jitsu Club opened its doors at 142 Waterloo St and has grown around a clear combative-Jiu-Jitsu throughline. The club’s early leadership and ongoing identity reflect Chief Instructor Terry Yanke’s background as a former Waterloo Regional Police Officer and Emergency Response Team Leader; his credentials include a 9th degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu and a 1st degree Black Belt in Judo and are listed among the core instructor records. That law-enforcement and traditional-jitsu mix is a concrete part of the club’s history and curriculum emphasis. Mike Carbage is the owner and a regular instructor; he’s listed as a 3rd Degree Black Belt with the Ontario Jiu Jitsu Association and runs community-focused classes and university sessions. Roberto Rodriguez is also on the instruction team with documented study in judo and traditional Japanese jiu jitsu and multiple recognised belt grades. The staff bios on the club site note work in schools, businesses and women’s self-defence programming, which appears regularly in the academy’s activity roster. Classes and contact details centre on the Waterloo St address and the club’s public channels: website, Facebook and Instagram, plus a public email for inquiries. Practical offerings referenced by the instructors include private sessions and outreach for university departments and community groups. The academy combines traditional Japanese techniques with applied combative methods in its stated approach and keeps schedules and direct-contact options available through its official web and social pages.
