The Ottawa-East School opened its doors in 1968 and has become the model for all other Therien Jiu-Jitsu Schools across the National Capital Region. Many great students have learned the "gentle art" in our School.

Kyoshi John Therien still teaches regularly. Jean-Yves Theriault, the 23 time world kick boxing champion honors us Tuesday and Thursday evenings with fantastic Novice and Prokick classes.
