Budo Mixed Martial Arts - Burnaby

I tried a few other local gyms before settling on Budo, but none felt quite as welcoming and beginner friendly as Budo did. Beginner classes focus on repetition of fundamental techniques and the instructors make an obvious effort to remember their students and make corrections as needed. More...

I have nothing but great things to say about Budo MMA. Mike, Anthony & Chris are phenomenal instructors and very passionate about what they do. Also, the students are the same. Experienced guys are friendly and willing to drill with lower level students to help them learn. My overall health (strength, flexibility & weight-loss) has improved as well as my concentration. I highly recommended this location for those people who have the same goals. More...

A wonderful place to train BJJ. Scott, Mike, and Anthony are great instructors, have a great attitude for training, and a clear love of the art. They keeps on top of current trends and "cutting-edge" techniques. The best things about training BJJ here though is the atmosphere. The people who train there are very respectful, fun, and enjoyable to spar with. I highly recommend this place. More...

Tried a trial class two years ago and have been absolutely hooked since! SO much more fun and valuable than a boring old gym (you actually get to learn something! ). The classes are fantastic, the instructors are amazing people, and everybody is always very welcoming and encouraging. Highly recommend checking this place out :-) More...

I joined Budo a year and a half ago and could not have made a better decision. When you join Budo you don't just join a gym, you become part of a family. A family who takes the time and patience with each member to help them grow not only as a martial artist but as a person as well. I recommend joining this gym and becoming part of our Budo Family!

Over 2 years ago, I was a 51 year old couch potato with zero martial arts or gym experience. My son, 11 at the time, wanted to take MMA classes at Budo. He heard a lot of good things about Budo. We convinced ourselves to go together. I was very anxious prior to our first class. Our first class was a Muay Thai class with Chris. It turned out to be a great experience. Learned lots and had a great workout. We were hooked.We have since attended all the Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu classes.We can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience with any of the classes or instructors.Overcoming our fear and showing up at Budo has been the best decision. It has also been a great father/son bonding experience. Our fitness has improved ten-fold and we have learned a lot about self defense.The instructors are great, the fellow students are very friendly and helpful and the environment is fantastic. Can’t thank Scott and Mike enough for starting up Budo.We highly recommend Budo!!! More...

I walked into Budo MMA in Burnaby back in the latter half of June, 2016 not really knowing what to expect. I was feeling intimidated but ready to take on a martial art. I couldn't honestly be happier with my decision to land into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the graceful and skillful eye of the head instructor, Scott Boudreau.I'm learning things about myself that I didn't understand or know prior to taking up this martial art. The support of Scott and his two other instructors Michael and Anthony is amazing. The environment of Budo is very welcoming and friendly, but also teaches you how to get down to business and start developing your jiu jitsu, and to not have any fear of the challenges before you.I'm extremely thankful for the support of everyone at Budo to keep me going and keep learning and developing this new passion of mine. Scott, Michael and Anthony are doing a wonderful job in teaching BJJ at this location in Burnaby. Oss!!! More...

The people who come for classes are all very nice and make you feel welcome whether it's your first visit or you are a regular. Chris's class is always interesting and he is great at keeping the challenges coming, he motivates you to push yourself harder each time and smile while you're doing it. Come get your sweat on, learn something new, you'll be happy you did. More...

I can't say enough positive things about this dojo. Jiu-jitsu is an integral part of my life and Budo has become like family to me. Here are some of the many reasons to join Budo:1. Positive environment and cooperative training. Of course sparring is as competitive as you like, but there's a huge focus on techniques and empowerment and keeping the students safe. Egos are left at the door, and the instructors ensure poor attitudes are kept in check.2. Great place for women to train! As a female grappler, I often worry about being treated inappropriately (everything from rude comments to grappling excessively aggressively, or the inverse) and there is NOTHING like that here. A steady crew of women attend classes here, and for good reason.3. Advanced technical instructors who posses a great wealth of knowledge and are eager to share. My experience is specifically with Jiu-jitsu; Scott, Mike, and Anthony are exceptional teachers and grapplers. They are clear in their explanations and provide lots of feedback.Everyone at Budo is friendly and helpful. The best way to know if a gym is a good fit for you is to stop by in person - and I can't recommend this place enough. I will be training here as long as I am in Vancouver. Oss! More...

My 5yr old daughter has been taking karate and BJJ classes at Budo for 8 months now and watching her inspired me to begin my BJJ journey 2 months ago. Scott and the rest of the staff are amazing, patient and extremely knowledgeable in all that they do. The positive changes in my daughter on and off the mats has been amazing to see and even I am beginning to see a glimmer of my pre 40's body coming back. Where else can you roll with Champions on a daily basis? They are Champions on and off the mats, everyone from the instructors down to the kids.

I started training at Budo MMA May 7th 2013 in the art of Brazilian jiu jitsu. I was nothing more than a small fifteen year old kid with self-confidence issues, however this quickly changed. After my first class I was hooked and welcomed to the club with open arms. For me Budo isn't simply just a dojo. It's my second family. Without the guidance of the jiu jitsu instructions Scott, Mike and Anthony and the rest of the amazing members at Budo I would not be where I am today with my jiu jitsu as well as my personality !
