Wolves Academy of Jiu-Jitsu. Buffalo, NY.

I’ve been training jiu-jitsu for 7 years and I have been visiting Wolves for a few months now for various community open mats and recently for a few Bjj and Judo classes. I highly recommend you try them out!! The instruction is extremely detailed and the class / drill time is daptable for all levels and also has the perfect amount of class time for sparring / positional training.

The team members are so friendly, welcoming and fun to be around! I really appreciate how quickly they make you feel like part of the group : )

Facilities are immaculate, plenty of amenities and spacious locker room.

I will be cross training at Wolves regularly! Couldn’t recommend them more.

Awesome place to train! Coach Brandon and Coach Dusty are highly knowledgeable and are able to cater to each person regardless of skill level. Comfortable, clean and welcoming facility. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about training jiu jitsu.

Nick—the kids coach—is so patient and creative with the kids. My 5-year old son is learning some basic techniques and having a blast.

I’m also a member and it’s a great and welcoming community for adults as well. A lot of game-based learning to master certain positions instead of mindless drilling of moves you will never be able to use on anyone good because you can’t manage the position well enough.

High level instruction for both competitors and for hobbyists, supportive community, safe space for ALL folks, and offers free womens self defense classes every Sunday. All the coaches and team members truly make this place unlike any other jiu-jitsu gyms out there. Offers a free WEEK trial.

I attend the Judo class and it’s been an enjoyable experience. Clean gym, respectful and highly recommended.

This place is awesome! The owners and coaches are all so helpful and patient. There are so many other women who train here too so it’s a lot less intimidating than having to only train with big men. I’ve made so many amazing friends here I look forward to going every day!

A great community of people who want to better themselves. If you’re new to the sport there’s no better place to start than wolves, you’ll be supported every step of the way. If you’re just looking for a new training spot you’ll be challenged every class to hone your skills.

Phenomenal instructors with years of experience friendly atmosphere great people with friendships that last a life time send to wolves 2 to 3 years and forget will be ready for ibjjf worlds and adcc future world champion

I’ve been training here for just under a month and cannot recommend it enough. I was a bit uneasy about being a complete beginner in my 30s but the coaches and community were immediately so welcoming and supportive when I walked in. They make it extremely approachable to learn new concepts, and everyone is quick to help you get better, ask you what you think you need to work on, and offer insight on how you can improve. The free week trial gives you a chance to get a sense of the classes before you commit. I feel fortunate to have found this place and would recommend it to anyone interested in jiu jitsu but not sure where to start.

Excellent down to Earth Jiu-Jitsu school with supportive and skilled students and instructors that care. Highly recommend if visiting Buffalo or live there for bjj training.

Me and my Children have been training at Wolves for a few months so far and it has been one of the best experiences we’ve ever had, Coach Brandon, Coach Nick, and the rest of the team run an amazing, program for both adults and kids a like. With a wide variety of classes and time slot from Gi, to No Gi, and Judo there is something for everyone whether you’re just looking for self defense, a curious hobbyist, or a die hard competitor there is a place for you in this welcoming and positive community.
The kids program has also had a profoundly positive effect on my children’s grown growth and behavior both on and off the mats, it has really brought out a level of focus, respect, and work ethic in my young kids that I will be forever grateful for.
If you’ve ever thought about taking martial arts I can’t recommend wolves enough, all you have to do is show up, and thank yourself later.

I was in town for the day and wanted to find a place to train.

I received a quick response when I reached out about dropping in.

Class was great and everyone was very welcoming and skilled.

Great gym with great people. Also, having showers is a huge plus. I’ll definitely be going back.

I joined wolves a few months ago and I have to be honest, it’s one of the best things I ever did. Being a 39 year old going on 40, with no prior experience, let’s just say I was very anxious and scared. Coach Brandon, coach Dusty, coach Nick, Jessica and every single person on the team, has been more than comforting on this new journey. I can’t say enough about the community at Wolves.

Coach Brandon and Dusty are great coaches!! They both have lots of experience. Clean and cool facility and it is right down the street from me so walking distance aswell!

Best instruction in WNY

This place couldn’t possibly create a better environment. The coaches running things, and the people you’re training with provide far more than I would have expected. Whether you’re new or experienced, just trying to stay active and involved, or trying to go out and compete, this place and the people within it support you 100% in your journey. Coming over to Wolves was possibly my best decision of 2025 and I couldn’t ask for more out of coaches and training partners. T’his is as welcoming of an environment as you are likely to find.

welcoming and fun environment to grown and learn!!
