Wolves Academy of Jiu-Jitsu. Buffalo, NY.
Kids & Adult Martial Arts

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

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.

Great coaches, great training partners, and great atmosphere.

Joining Wolves has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a woman, I was hesitant to step into a male-dominated sport, but from my very first class, I felt welcomed, supported, and safe. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging, all while fostering a positive and empowering environment. I’ve gained confidence, strength, and a community that truly feels like family. Highly recommend!

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!

welcoming and fun environment to grown and learn!!

Awesome training atmosphere

Best instruction in WNY

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.

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

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.

A great place to train with some of the most knowledgeable and friendly instructors in the area. The gym promotes an environment where all feel welcome, included, and safe.

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.

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.

Phenomenal place, phenomenal space, phenomenal Cosmic Atmosphere found the Gym that will remain my lifelong realm to train backed by the amazing coaching staff Wolves academy of Jiu-Jitsu is the place to be🙌🏾🤙🏾 if anyone that lives nearby is interested in learning how to defend themselves or to learn an art that will bring out the absolute best in you be sure to sign up to see what the art of grappling can offer you & you’ll be happy you did 🤙🏾

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.

As someone who has never trained martial arts or played organized sports, joining a Jiu-Jitsu gym was very much out of my comfort zone. After a few short months of training, I can honestly say that joining Wolves is one of the best and most positive experiences in my life. Wolves has fostered such an amazing community of people that want to see you do well both on and off the mats. All of the coaches are amazing and Coach Brandon helped me feel so welcomed and comfortable when I first decided to do the free week trial. If you are thinking of trying BJJ or are already a higher belt, I cannot recommend Wolves enough.
