Peterborough Jiu Jitsu began in 1993, when the first classes were taught at Trent University. In 1998 the Peterborough YMCA club was formed, which moved to the Peterborough Multi-Sport Club in 2019. In the summer of 2021 we relocated to Champions Gymnastics, 2410 Lansdowne St W, Cavan-Monaghan, ON K9J 0G5. The club runs year-round. New members, including complete beginners, are welcome at any time.
