Great academy with great people to train with. I joined De La Costa last year under Joe a recognized IBBJF black belt. He is an amazing coach with great skills in BJJ. He has changed my BJJ game for sure. The gym is super clean and everyone is friendly. I felt at home with this school instantly. If you want the best training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in the nations Capital. I would definitely recommend this school.

I'm not training at DLC anymore, but that's entirely a consequence of geography. I've trained in a bunch of different spots in Ontario and in Europe under a variety of different black belts. Prof. Joe is easily the best head coach I've ever had. His curriculum and teaching style are consistent and enjoyable. It rewards consistency but doesn't punish absence either, a tough balance to strike. It also helps in building your game around a system, rather than individual submissions or sweeps. There's synergy, there's drill and practice, and you come out of 4-6 weeks feeling like you can actually deploy something effectively when you roll. The gym is spotless (has a really futuristic chalet vibe with the wood and white mats), the people are great (they're also low key assassins on the mats), and Joe is one of the most approachable and friendly coaches I've ever met. Whether you're new to the sport, looking for a change of gyms, or new to Ottawa like I was - DLC is a great place to train. Miss them a lot - hope to be back sooner than later.

As a member of a different school, my membership is suspended due to the pandemic, I needed a place to train so I could keep learning. I am a beginner. I just wanted to take the time to write this review because I appreciate businesses like this. The instruction is absolutely great and the style of BJJ here varies with options for both beginners and advanced students. Being a beginner myself, I was welcomed by the instructor and the students and they were patient with my mistakes, and taught me how I can correct them. BJJ is a deep art with so much information and I hope it continues to thrive despite the closures and lockdowns. This school offers a very good evening schedule with back to back classes and an incredible group of people.
