Ipe Dojo

Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes in Toronto. High quality programs in a welcoming environment.

Our prime focus is encouraging students to seek the best in their lives. We aim to promote the importance of physical activity and strong personal values, cultivating the health of the mind and body through physical activity but also through the fostering good moral character. At Higashi Canada we place the utmost importance on inclusivity and safety. We believe that martial arts should teach peace, kindness and humility on the mats and off. Our program has classes for children, youth and adults - including dedicated women only sessions several nights a week. While many of our students thrive competitively, our focus is not competition but creating well-rounded Judoka and Jiu-jitsuka. Higashi Canada is lead by Sensei Jose Eudes Perez Monteiro and Sensei Ana Beatriz De Lima Felix. Sensei Jose is a 6th dan coral belt in Judo, 3rd dan black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and a 2nd dan black belt in Aikido. Sensei Ana is a 3rd dan black belt in Judo and a 1st dan black in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

🥋 DIFFERENT STORIES. ONE TATAMI. ONE FAMILY. 🌎

This year’s World Judo Day theme is BELONGING, and for us at Ipê Dojo, that word means so much.

Our tatami brings together people of different ages, nationalities, cultures, and experiences. Some are taking their first steps in judo, others are chasing international dreams, and some simply come to enjoy the sport they love.

But what connects us goes far beyond judo.

It’s the friendships we build, the challenges we overcome together, the respect we share, and the feeling of knowing that we have a place where we belong.

Because at Ipê, we’re not just building judoka. We’re building a community where everyone has a place. ❤️

Happy World Judo Day from our Ipê family! 🇨🇦🌎

BEYOND MARTIAL ARTS. BEYOND THE MATS.

Some of the most important lessons our students learn have nothing to do with winning a match.

Working together, solving problems, helping a teammate, making decisions, and learning how to handle challenges are all part of their journey.

⛩️ At Ipê Dojo, we believe martial arts are much more than a sport. They’re an opportunity to develop confidence, independence, resilience, and character.

Because while medals are something to celebrate, the people our students become matter even more. 💛🖤

Building strong martial artists.
☝🏼Raising capable, confident people.

They grow up fast. 🥹❤️

Five years between these two photos, and a whole world of changes in between.

🥰 From a little girl full of curiosity to a young lady discovering her strength, finding her voice, and becoming more confident in who she is.

We often wish we could slow down time, but there’s something truly special about watching children become their own person.

The years may fly by, but the love, encouragement, and values we give them today will stay with them forever.

Give them confidence that lasts a lifetime. 💛🖤

Who says your 30s, 40s, or 50s are too late to start something new? 🥋

Some of our most dedicated students discovered Judo/BJJ as adults and have been growing, learning, and enjoying every moment on the mats ever since.

Age doesn’t define your potential, and there’s no expiration date on discovering a new passion. 🖤💛

Your first week is on us! 😉

MORE THAN TRAINING.

Some of the most important things they’ll learn on the mat have nothing to do with throwing someone or getting a submission.

Growing together. Supporting each other.

⛩️ Belonging somewhere.

Martial arts is for life. 💛🖤

09/16/2026

Behind every confident athlete is a coach who saw the potential before they could see it themselves. 🥋

Coaching is more than teaching technique. It’s believing, challenging, supporting, correcting, and sometimes simply being there when an athlete needs it most.

The athlete steps onto the mat alone, but she never gets there alone.

We believe. We build. We grow.

Together. 🖤💛
