Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Fort Garry.
About 8 minutes north up Pembina from the U of M / Fort Garry core. Black-belt coaching, no contracts, free trial open.
Fort Garry to 1455 Waverley.
Fort Garry sits along the Pembina spine, anchored by the University of Manitoba and a tight grid of mature residential streets. The drive to Socius is straightforward — Pembina north to McGillivray, then west into Waverley — about eight minutes outside of peak. Members from Fort Garry frequently pair training with a class at the U of M or a stop further north on Pembina. Free on-site parking and an evening block from 5:45pm through 8:45pm means a typical leave-work-late commute still leaves room for a full session. Adjacent to Waverley Heights, Richmond West, and the U of M campus.
Why Socius is the Fort Garry choice.
Small-group attention
Capped class sizes mean real coaching feedback every round — not a faceless mass intake.
Black-belt coaching
Multiple black belts on the mats with 15+ years of experience each. Structured curriculum, beginner-friendly.
No contracts
Month-to-month memberships, no gimmicks. Train because you love it, not because you're locked in.
Evening class slots (5:45pm+) work for working parents commuting home down Pembina.
