Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts

It is always hard to find a martial arts school where you feel comfortable, safe, and valued. OAMA is that place! Every time I go to BJJ classes, Matt and Justin greed me with a big smile and a positive attitude. Coaches are always making sure you give your 120% while taking care of yourself and others. Their devotion and willingness to contribute to the lives of students is really impressive. I am so happy I am training here!

At OAMA, you will find people who know a great deal about their respective martial art, and people who just love on others. Very welcoming, knowledgeable, talented, and kind. If you want to be apart of family and grow at the same time in so many ways, this is the one to be apart of by far!

Needs to follow up in the locker room. If you only knew what's allowed you'd be surprised. Very Sad and unacceptable

Amazing energy, and beautifully setup gym. By far one of the nicest places I've trained in Canada.

We moved to a new neighborhood and found ourselves unable to secure a spot for our kindergartener in the after-school program at his new school. OAMA to the rescue! Their sign-up is flexible, they do a very safe pick up in a van (big thrill for a little kid who's only ever walked to school) and the staff and teachers just couldn't be more warm and welcoming. We thought we were just getting ourselves out of a pinch, knowing nothing about martial arts- but it turned out to be so much more and was the #1 factor that eased the transition for our son with a big move and a lot of changes. Our kiddo is continuing with lessons and we're so grateful this resource is here in the community.

No words i can say would do this place justice. You have to come and feel it, hear it and smell it. Its unmistakable, unmissable.
I recommend OAMA to everyone I meet bc of the atmosphere, the positive coaching, the values expressed by the owner (s), but also because its a lot of fun, ive met some amazing people/friends, and i know how much im benefit physically and mentally

One of the best martial arts school in ottawa no cap. Everyone is so friendly especially the coaches you guys should come train and you'll see.

I visited for the week from my home gym in Winnipeg. Hammer, Eric, Justin and all the other instructors/students were very welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to visiting again!

Great atmosphere, instructors take their time to teach the technique in a fashion even a novice like me could understand. The training was helpful while also being very intense. The students I rolled with were quick to offer me advice and I never felt belittled for my lack of knowledge. Very welcoming atmosphere. I look forward to going back.

Super friendly and positive atmosphere excellent technique. I've trained all over the world and this is a great club. Highly recommended.

I love this place! Prof Hammer and Prof Eric are great instructors and the crew they’ve got supporting them is amazing.
It’s my favourite thing about Ottawa!

Dropped in, had a great time. Noticed that the kids program looks quite strong as well, in terms of teaching values through martial arts.

Super Authentic Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu! A great environment! VERY WARM students and staff! A great family environment for kids as well.having trained Jiu Jitsu 24 years now Every time I'm in the Ottawa Area i stop by to hit the mats and share some knowledge. This school is the Yale/Harvard of martial arts in the Ottawa area. Highly Recommended!

Absolutely amazing training and instruction from the team at OAMA> I've been in martial arts my entire life and found what I was looking for here. Highly recommend

Amazing academy, amazing Training! The atmosphere is very welcoming. Professor Pat & Professor Hammer are incredible instructors, I highly recommend this academy to anyone!

Always such a welcoming place! Every time we pass through Ottawa we have to stop in and train. We even make special trips just to train there! High level instructors and great facility.

Pat and Hammer are amazing ambassador's for Martial Arts in Ottawa. OAMA is definitely THE place to learn enthusiastic, high quality Martial Arts in the city. Great school with a great atmosphere.

The Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts is a pillar of the Ottawa community! For years they have been changing people's lives and supporting the community! You should want your children to experience Professor Matt Hache and his unlimited passion for Martial Arts!

Awesome place, staff is really friendly and is always motivating you. Coaches, people who train there are always pushing you to limits.

Been training at OAMA for a year and could not be more pleased with my bjj membership. Quality of instruction is very high, and at the Carling location there are classes for every schedule. The 7-8am classes are my favourite way to start my day.
