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.

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. 💛🖤

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. 🖤💛

🏆 A proud day for Ipê Dojo! 🏆

We are incredibly proud to celebrate two of our athletes recognized by Judo Ontario for their outstanding 2025–2026 season:

🥇 Marcela Seika Ciolfi — U21 Female Athlete of the Year
🥇 Prokhor Reshetnikov — U16 Male Athlete of the Year

These awards represent much more than results and medals. They reflect countless hours on the tatami, discipline, consistency, sacrifice, resilience, and the courage to keep pushing for the next level.

Marcela and Prokhor, congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. We are extremely proud to be part of your journey and excited for everything still ahead of you.

Keep dreaming.🥋

From the entire Ipê Dojo family, congratulations! 💛🖤

🤔 What keeps people coming back?

Not just the techniques. Not the belts. Not even the victories.

It’s being surrounded by people who challenge you, support you, laugh with you, and make every moment on the tatami memorable. 🥋

Somewhere along the way, teammates become friends, and a dojo becomes a community.

Some moments say more than medals ever could. 🥋🤍

Beyond competition, martial arts creates bonds built through shared challenges, trust, respect, and countless hours on the tatami.

Because becoming a great athlete is also about learning how to be there for someone else.

That’s the kind of strength we’re proud to build at Ipê Dojo, great athletes, genuine friendships, and confident young women.
