I'm Jake Smith. I started Judo in 1999 and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2010, and I hold 2nd degree black belts in both. I've won a 2018 IBJJF World Masters title, three IBJJF Toronto Open black belt titles and four Ontario Open Judo championships, and I'm an NCCP Level 3 coach. I built this academy to give kids a safe place to grow and athletes a room where they can test themselves every day.
