Community
Serving as a true community BJJ gym in Ardrossan, we take pride in sponsoring local events like the ARAS picnic, farmers market, and The Great Rural Race. Our commitment goes beyond fitness: we provide free memberships to families in need and partner with organizations to make martial arts accessible for everyone. From team parties to outreach programs, Ground Control Academy unites members of all backgrounds and builds a culture of kindness, respect, and growth.
Top Programs
Our Adult BJJ, Youth BJJ, and Little Ninjas programs are the heart of our academy. Every class is designed with beginners in mind, providing hands-on coaching and a supportive, ego-free environment.
