Our Approach
Oracle Jiu Jitsu is a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu academy. Under the Canada wide annually top rated 'Jiu Jitsu For Life' network affiliation. Hands down you are in good hands. Direct lineage to Grand Master Helio Gracie, our academy doesn't fool around with dodgy fly-by-night part-time head coaches and semi-invested gyms. We are 100% Brazilian Jiu Jitsu certified. Here today, and for the long run.
Our Mission
At Oracle Jiu Jitsu, our mission is very simple: to deliver the authentic time-honoured art and craft of Jiu Jitsu in a readily absorbable and understandable form.
V3DA hub

Our Story
Lee Chiang is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 2nd degree Black Belt under Professor Jorge Britto. Lee is the founder and owner of Oracle Jiu-Jitsu. Having practiced BJJ since 2009, and competed in various tournaments with achievements including a silver medalist Masters 2 Canadian National Championship - qualifier representing Team Canada at the 2023 JJIF Worlds in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (winning 3rd place overall). 2nd place ranking 2017-2018 North America UAEJJF Heavy Masters 2 Brown Belt, 3rd place 2018 IBJJF Toronto Open Brown Belt Heavy Masters 3 and competed at IBJJF Worlds Las Vegas Heavy Masters 4, to name a few. And still competing to this day.
Professor Lee is dedicated to the art of Jiu Jitsu. Day in, day out, he can be seen either on the mats, training off and on the mats, coaching mat side at a tournament, competing at a tournament/hosting a tournament or studying techniques on his spare time, continuously refining and building a world-class curriculum.
He isn't like some of those part time coaches that you see, who have other 'day jobs' who just punch in, show up to do their allocated obligated hours, then promptly leave the dojo. No. Committed, he eats, breathes, and sleeps jiu jitsu. I challenge you to ask other academies whether their head coaches are true full-time coaches committed to their academy. Is the actual owner present, teaching and sparring? Or do they have part-time hours, with equity share in the 'business' that he's working on. Yup. Enuf said.
Since 1995 has over twenty-five years of experience in Fortune 500 companies, leading multi-million dollar enterprise projects.
Lee's list of life career achievements includes:
- VP of Technology Solutions at LenderKey Mortgage Technologies
- Honourable discharge Private of the ‘87 Royal Regiment of Canada, Medic Aid domestic Reserves (v)
- Bachelor of Architecture (Technology)
- Architectural Designer at Architectural Firm
- Solution Designer - Solution Architect IBM Global Services (offer)
- PMP Project Management Certified
- CSM Scrum Master Certified
- AWS Cloud Architect (trained)
But what he is most proud of . . .
is his passion and love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. (Something you will experience if you talk 'shop' with Lee).
Upon retiring from his 'day job', Lee taught BJJ at the Metropolitan University X (University of Ryerson), previously having successfully lived as an IT professional, last holding the role of VP of Solutions building complex enterprise systems.
His passion comes from the fact that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gave him the ability to allow himself to work extremely hard yet allow his destiny to be within reach and control of his own hands. An art that drives you to become a better person both mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Lee learned from his own Professor that "if you want to get better it's simple... put more time into improving yourself. That means not just doing more Jiu-Jitsu, but eating better, exercising, and practicing mindfulness."
You can't help but get better. Stronger. Fitter. Healthier. Happier.
"You win when you step on the mat"

Joven Senoran
Blue Belt, Assistant Coach
Joven is one of those guys who loves Jiu-Jitsu for Jiu-Jitsu. He's not necessarily looking for the glory of gold medal. Strong-arming other jiujitsuka. He's here for the love of the art. And that's something to be admired. That's why when we made him an assistant coach, we felt that his love of the game, passion and spirit would translate well to our students.

Show Dan a technique you can bet he'll learn and use it within the next class. A consummate jiu-jitsu content consumer, always looking for insights to further progress his game. Add an intensely hard worker on the mats, leaving nothing left by the end of the night, Dan brings heart unlike any other. A pleasure to have as part of our coaching team.

Julian, our resident Judoka. Julian is one of my OG's. He's been with me the longest, going all the way back to pre-COVID, at Ryerson Metro X University, where Professor Lee taught Jiu-Jitsu first. Brings solid stand-up game, is always a friendly partner, and is eager to learn and help other members. Currently acting support to assistant instructors and offering 'Judo with Julian' to our kids program.
