What happens during your 7-day free trial?
Your first 7 days are free—a relaxed, no-pressure way to see how the dojo works and try the training. No experience or fitness needed. Explore our Jiu-Jitsu programs before you book, or come with your questions and we’ll take it one step at a time.
Ask anything you want
No question is too small. Bring every question you have about training, safety, scheduling or getting started.
Learn about the dojo and how we run
A walkthrough of the academy, our dojo rules and etiquette, and what to expect on the mats.
Learn our style
How Vanguard blends traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Budo discipline with modern, reality-based self-defense through the Senshōgo-Ryū system.
Get on the mats
Practise some breakfalls and throws with Renshi JP himself, so you actually try the training instead of just watching.
Vanguard trains families and adults from North Dundas, South Dundas, South Stormont, and surrounding communities at 5 King Street, Chesterville. See the communities we serve.
