Don't waste your time and money here. What Igor says and does are two different things. He has…read moredifferent prices for people, it all depends if you're in his good books or not. He can say what he wants but my bank statements don't lie. Two years ago he promised a lot of families to bring in wrestling and a bigger and improved gym with more washrooms ...needless to say this never happened. We left Mamute about a month ago as Igor was unable to accommodate my son by not providing more than 2 classes a week (he knew we were looking at other gyms, and he was ok with it, and I have texts to prove this). Therefore, we decided to move to another gym in Pickering that provided not only 6 days a week of training but more options, including wrestling, Judo, Kick boxing and Muay Thai, all without breaking my bank. And this gym has more than 1 washroom WITH a shower! And IT'S CLEAN, being cleaned by a professional cleaner! When we left, Igor asked to see my kids and my husband said no. However, what angered me the most, as I'm sure all parents would feel the same, was when Igor went behind our backs (mine and my husband's) and contacted my then 12 year old son in the middle of the night on Instagram! I refuse to give him the title of 'Professor' as with that title comes with responsibilities (not just a black belt with a red tip...that merely holds your pants up) that he obviously does not have, like not to contact a child in the middle of the night especially without the parent's consent! UNPROFESSIONAL and INAPPROPRIATE is an understatement! You have been warned! I wish someone was around to warn me. Don't let what happed to my son happen to your child! Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere!

Found you guys by looking up the affiliated gyms from the Jiu Jitsu for Life Team. The culture was great, with lots of quality instruction and I really appreciated all the higher belts taking time to explain small details and it seems like they genuinely care for your development (especially as a first time visiting practitioner). I loved the hour of rolling and open training to just get lots of rounds afterwards. We worked on sequencing arm bar from closed guard today as well as defending the position from the stack counter. Definitely a really great detail to pick up and to try to incorporate in my own game and development. Hope to visit more often!
