The Community is One of the Biggest Reasons to Join Us!
We have children coming in to train, as well as champions. The atmosphere of respect for each individual’s goal and the desire to help each other makes training at Kemptville Academy of Martial Arts such a wonderful experience. Kids improve their self discipline while staying active and building a “can do” spirit which helps in almost all aspects of life. Adults get a great community to build fitness and let loose all the stress in day to day life. Those who are interested in competing can gain from our successful experience in various competitions around the world. Training with KAMA can have different meaning for different people and we respect that and endeavour to provide the best possible training in the a positive friendly environment.
about Brazilian Jiu-JitsuIn 1914 a Japanese Judo and Jiu-Jitsu master named Mitsuo Maeda came to Brazil. In return for help from the Brazilian politician Gastao Gracie, Koma taught Jiu-Jitsu to Gastao’s son Carlos. Carlos in turn taught his brothers. They went on to further refine the art via constant "no-rules" competition, developing what is now known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ).
Renzo Gracie is the son of Robson Gracie and grandson of Carlos. Renzo has his academy in New York City. |

Team Renzo-Gracie Ottawa
Team Renzo Gracie Ottawa focuses on maintaining the highest level of instruction in BJJ. Our vision is to spread Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in the Easter Ontario area and to help represent for Team Renzo Gracie all over Canada.
BJJ is known as the most effective martial art in the world, although it is relatively new by martial arts standards. Today, in any reality-fighting tournament all of the competitors will have a certain level of knowledge in BJJ. Why? Because it’s been proven time and time again to work. It works because at its fundamental principle, practitioners train with a partner almost all the time. In doing so, you quickly learn what works and what does not against an opponent who is resisting.
BJJ emphasizes technique and position. Proper technique and good position will dictate the outcome of a fight whether in competition or on the street. BJJ is easy and fun to learn, but takes hard work, discipline and dedication to master. Our students have the opportunity to train at any of our numerous BJJ seminars, which we conduct. We have world-class champions visit Ottawa on a regular basis. Also, the Ottawa Team frequently organizes trips to New York City, which makes our club unique. All our students have the occasion to train at the NYC academy with Renzo Gracie and his instructors when we travel to Manhattan.
