I’ve dropped into The Lab for open mats a few times, and every time has been great. Coach Brett is awesome to train with and makes you feel welcome even if you’re not a regular. Everyone on the mats is friendly, controlled, and really solid to roll with. Definitely one of my favorite gyms to train at.

I dropped in to The Lab in April as our team was in town for a tournament. Prof. Brett was kind enough to extend an invitation to our team for training. Brett and his team are awesome people. The club has a very welcoming environment and if you live in the area & are looking for high level BJJ + fitness instruction, Brett is one of the best around. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality Professor! See you soon. Patrick "Coach P" Teruel Founder - NEO Martial Arts Brampton

The Lab has been nothing but amazing for my family. My son started a year ago after being bullied on other sports teams and did not have the best self confidence because of it. He started his first class at the Lab and I could already tell it was a perfect fit. Everyone was amazing and welcoming, Professors and other families, and from day one we felt included. After a year of classes my son has grown to be fearless but humble and I can definitely say it is because of the lessons on and of the mat he receives from all the coaches and professors at the Lab. Recently myself and his older sister joined and we have had the same inclusive experience and look forward to every class and growing within the sport.
