Continuing The Story
Woodstock BJJ Academy is an extension of the proven Stratford BJJ program, founded by Ryan O'Shea in December 2013. As part of the Jiu-Jitsu for Life Team under Professor Jorge Britto — within the prestigious Royler Gracie lineage — our academy carries forward a tradition of technical excellence and martial arts integrity that has been refined over more than a decade.
After years of producing champions and developing black belts at Stratford BJJ, Coach Ryan expanded the program to Woodstock to bring world-class instruction to a new community. The academy follows the same structured curriculum, high standards, and supportive culture that made Stratford BJJ one of the most respected academies in southwestern Ontario.
More than just a gym, Woodstock BJJ is a tight-knit family. We celebrate every milestone, support each other through challenges, and hold one another to the highest standards. When you walk through our doors — regardless of age, size, or experience — you become part of something bigger than yourself and join a lineage with a proven track record of real results.
