Our affiliation with Nova Uniao allows us to offer some of the best BJJ instruction available
Republic Jiu Jitsu Academy has two locations in St John's, Newfoundland where we have been teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2000. We are an affiliate of Rio de Janeiro's Nova Uniao and the Head Instructor is Paul Woodruff, a BJJ brown belt under Professor Wagnney Fabiano. 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 and 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 year round and by flying in Wagnney Fabiano and Leo Santos for extended sessions several times each year.
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.
New members are welcome to join our classes at your convenience. Beginners regularly start throughout the year so do not hesitate to start training at any day of the year.
Please email Paul to be added to our contact groups for either seminar information, academy updates, general information and or for class cancellations due to inclement weather.
See you on the mats!
