Great coaches—my 4-year-old daughter loves it. They are very respectful, friendly, and committed to building a positive community. Excellent discipline to ensure safety, and they’ve been very patient with my daughter and the language barrier. We’ll definitely stay with them for a long time.

WHO IS
KARMA JIU JITSU
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a modern martial art that focuses on ground fighting - using superior leverage and technique to bring your opponent to the ground and submit them. As the BJJ practitioner increases their skill, it becomes easier for smaller players to subdue larger, stronger adversaries - this makes jiu jitsu a perfect martial art for kids.
Whether you are looking to learn jiu jitsu for sport, to get in shape, for self-defense or because Joe Rogan said it was cool, Karma Jiu Jitsu is the place for you and your family. Our focus is on "playing" Jiu Jitsu, it is meant to be fun and a way to connect with your community. All while setting a foundation of key principles for life - Integrity, Accountability, Persistence, Discipline, Teamwork, and Community. When looking for a Jiu Jitsu and martial arts school "near me" look no further. Right in the Durham Region and Ajax community, Karma Jiu Jitsu is the best around.
Karma Jiu Jitsu has classes for all skill levels, is a great place for beginners as we put a strong emphasis on having fun. Karma Jiu Jitsu is one of the only bjj gyms with a comprehensive nogi schedule and nogi only open mat. We provide classes for women, hobbyists and competitors alike. Come play with us! We have affordable memberships for kids, teens, adults and families.
About Raechel
Professor Raechel is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt (Fernando “Gringo” Zulick) and the founder of Karma Jiu Jitsu, along with her husband Alan Titone. Her martial arts journey began in childhood, inspired by films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Three Ninjas, and the world of Dragonball Z, which sparked a lifelong love for movement, discipline, and inner strength.
As a teenager, Raechel trained in Taekwondo before transitioning into high school wrestling. As an adult, she returned to Taekwondo, a path that ultimately led her to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2015, the art that would change her life.
Jiu Jitsu became more than a sport; it became the community and support system Raechel needed as a single mother of two. When her children were old enough, they joined her on the mats, and today jiu jitsu is woven into their everyday lives. You’ll often find Jessle and Zedden helping coach the kids’ classes, continuing the family’s tradition of leadership, kindness, and service.
Now more than eleven years into her journey, Raechel continues to train, teach, and give back with a deep commitment to growing the jiu jitsu community - with a special passion for empowering women, building confident youth, and creating a space where everyone belongs.
Karma Jiu Jitsu is not just a gym, it is a community, and Raechel is at its heart.
About Alan
Coach Alan is a U.S. Army Veteran, former corporate banker, lifelong student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and founder of Karma Jiu Jitsu along with his wife Raechel. Alan has dedicated his life to learning, teaching, and sharing the art across the world. As a BJJ Globetrotter, Alan has trained in twelve countries across three continents, immersing himself in diverse jiu jitsu cultures and philosophies.
Throughout his journey, Alan has spent countless hours learning from many of the world’s most respected instructors, including Chris Hauter, Rafael Lovato Jr., John Danaher, Roberto “Gordo” Correa de Lima, Will Dorman, Ryan Walden, Heather Raftery, Rich Sab, Joshua Janis, Fernando “Gringo” Zulick, Kieran Kichuk, and many others.
Beyond jiu jitsu, Alan is also an E-RYT certified yoga instructor with a deep understanding of body mechanics, mobility, and movement efficiency. His unique combination of martial arts and yoga allows him to teach with exceptional detail, helping students move smarter, stay safer, and unlock new levels in their training.
You will often hear Alan say, “Jiu jitsu is not about jiu jitsu.” This philosophy reflects his belief that what is learned on the mats — awareness, discipline, humility, and resilience — is meant to be carried into everyday life. Alan doesn’t just teach techniques; he helps people transform.
About Mike
Coach Mike will be the first to tell you that he didn’t start jiu jitsu as an athlete. He came to the mats as an out-of-shape, cigarette-smoking dad with a bad back and very little confidence that he could keep up.
Watching his sons thrive on the mats, he felt inspired, but also intimidated. What finally gave him the courage to try was realizing something powerful: the adults training weren’t superhuman. They were regular people, just like him. So he took a chance.
Jiu jitsu helped Mike quit smoking, lose the “dad bod,” strengthen his back, and build a level of stamina he never imagined possible. More importantly, it transformed his mindset, confidence, and sense of self.
Today, Mike specializes in coaching the people who walk through the door thinking, “I could never do that.” His calm, supportive, and fun teaching style is rooted in strong fundamentals and real-life progress. He believes jiu jitsu is for everyone, no matter your age, background, or starting point.
If you’re on the fence about trying jiu jitsu, Mike wants you to know: YOU CAN DO THIS.
And it might just change your life, too.
JIU JITSU & KARMA
Karma is regarded as the natural law of cause and effect that governs the universe. Karma literally means ACTION and karma is both the power latent within actions, and the results our actions bring. In simple terms, what does karma mean? It means that whatever we do with our body, speech, or mind, will have a corresponding result. Each action, even the smallest, is pregnant with consequences. It is said, that even a little poison can cause death, and even a tiny seed can become a huge tree.
The law of karma is inevitable and infallible, whenever we harm others, we are directly harming ourselves, and whenever we bring happiness to others, we are bringing ourselves future happiness. When we practice jiujitsu, each movement or action we make naturally causes a (re)action from our partner. When we do well, we are able to take actions that benefit us and further our goals. If we move inefficiently or recklessly the consequence can be that we lose our position, advantage, or at worst our training partner. We are constantly deciding how to move and are making judgements about the best interests of ourselves and our training partners. When we are doing jiujitsu, just like life, we should focus on the things that we can control. We quickly learn the only thing we can control is ourself.
Karma is not tangible, transferable, or sentient. Karma does not decay like external things, or ever become inoperative. It cannot be destroyed by time, fire, or water. Karma is not fatalistic or predetermined. Karma means our ability to create and to change. It’s creative, because we can determine how and why we act. We can change. The future is in our hands, and in the hands of our heart.
