Republic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, located in St John's Newfoundland, has been in the MUN combat room since moving from Henry Street in 2002. We teach authentic Brazilian Jiu Jiutsu and are an affiliate of Nova Uniao. Paul Woodruff, the head coach, is a purple belt under Wagnney Fabiano and Leo Santos. Paul is also an instructor under Dennis White of Diversified Combat Systems; Jeet Kune Do Concepts.
Republic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fosters a fun but competitive learning environment. We teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu the way we have been taught by some of the best teachers in the world.
Classes are structured to accommodate both the beginner and experienced students. Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques, improving physical conditioning and applying these tools effectively are our objectives during each class.
It is the mission of Republic Jiu Jitsu to create a world class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Newfoundland. We do this by developing our BJJ skills all year round and also by flying in the best instructors for week long or weekend training sessions several times each year. Last year, we were lucky enough to bring in Wagnney Fabiano and Leo Santos.
In the event of inclement weather, classes will be cancelled if Memorial University closes. See the MUN cancellation page for details.
