Words From Our Clients
Real stories from our Big Foot Grappling community.
I’ve been training with Amr for almost 2 years now, and he’s brought my game to another level. I have nothing but good things to say about him as a coach, and also as a person.
Training at Bigfoot Grappling has completely changed my jiu-jitsu. The coaching is clear, the techniques are demonstrated at the highest levels of competition by [can insert your own name here] the best no gi grappler in Canada, and the environment is welcoming. Whether you’re a hobbiest with no aspirations to compete, or an experienced grappler striving to reach the highest level, this is the place to train.
Amr Ghoneim is one of the few that bridged the gap between competitive success and effective coaching...His experience is evident in his ability to breakdown techniques for beginners while providing refined details for advanced students... His classes are ideally structured for learning, drilling, and implementing, always a pleasure working with him...
I have been training under Coach Amr for about a year and a half. Before joining, I had no experience in combat sports or sports in general. Under his guidance, I learned an incredible amount and went on to compete multiple times, winning several gold medals. Coach Amr is extremely patient and always ensures his students feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout their training.
Coach Amr is a world class competitor and coach. As a coach he sets a tone that is safe and respectful, while challenging you to reach your highest potential every time you train.
Coach Amr is an exceptional instructor, he’s very technical, welcoming, and always willing to answer questions, which makes training as a white belt comfortable, motivating and fun. His high-level competition experience really shows in how clearly he explains details in techniques and helps me improve every session.
Any Questions? We’ve
Got You
Everything parents and kids need to know before their first class.
What is No-Gi jiu jitsu?
Grappling without the traditional gi, focusing on control, movement, and technique using rash guards and shorts.
What ages can join the kids no-gi program?
Our classes are designed for children ages 6–14, with age-appropriate instruction and drills to ensure safety and engagement for all levels.
Does my child need experience to start training?
Absolutely not! We welcome beginners and provide structured guidance to help every child learn the fundamentals at their own pace.
Can kids train even if they don’t want to compete?
Absolutely! Our kids’ program focuses on learning, confidence, and having fun on the mats. Your child can enjoy all the benefits of training, build skills, and grow in a supportive environment without ever competing.
What should my child wear to class?
Comfortable athletic clothing is fine (like shorts and a t-shirt). No-gi grappling is practiced without a traditional gi, so no special uniform is required.
Are classes safe for children?
Safety is our top priority. All techniques are taught with control, and instructors closely supervise sparring to prevent injury. Our environment emphasizes learning, confidence, and fun.
What if my child wants to try one class first?
We offer a trial class so your child can experience the mats, meet instructors, and see if our program is a good fit before committing to a membership. Select the "Book Free Class" button above!
