What we’re about

What We're About
MTL OWN Fight Club is the scrappy little sibling of Montreal's Fighting Loneliness Movement (meetup.com/mtlown). We're here to train hard, meet cool people, and skip the gym membership drama.

Who We're Looking For
🥊 Fighters Who Can Teach (All Levels Welcome)
As Rener Gracie said: "Just because someone is a black belt in jiu-jitsu doesn't mean they are a black belt in teaching the art. And just because someone isn't a black belt, doesn't mean they aren't qualified to change lives through jiu-jitsu."

🥊 Female Boxers/Muay Thai Hobbyists Who Want to Teach & Get Paid
🥋 Male Grapplers (BJJ/Wrestling/Judo/Sambo) Who Want to Teach & Get Paid

Many skilled fighters (even hobbyists) have knowledge to share but can't teach at traditional gyms because they lack "credentials" (black, brown belts, pro records, etc.).

Our motto/solution? "If you know your stuff, you can teach."

Whether you're a BJJ blue belt (who absolutely can teach fundamentals), a purple belt like me, an amateur boxer, or seasoned wrestler - if you can help others improve, we want you. This applies to all our disciplines: boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, judo, wrestling, and sambo.

đź’Ą Sparring Partners With Knowledge To Share - Got fight experience? Come train, help others, and get better together. No fancy belts required - just solid skills and willingness to teach.

🤼 Beginners Ready To Learn - No hierarchy here. Just practicing fighters helping all levels improve.

How It Works
✅ 4x/month meetups (Location TBD—sometimes gyms, sometimes parks)

Sparring is our heartbeat, but we'll also drill techniques as a group

Not a traditional class - it's all levels fighters sharing what works
âś… Pay-as-we-go - Keeping costs affordable (helping cover coach/space fees)
âś… No Ego Environment - Whether we're on mats or pavement, the focus is growth

Why This Exists

  • Gyms are expensive, and good sparring partners are hard to find
  • Fighters deserve a place to train and teach without politics
  • Beginners should learn from anyone with real skills
  • No contracts. No bureaucracy. Just gloves, sweat and good people
