About Coach P

Coach Patrick "Coach P" Teruel

NEO Founder | Head Coach | Black Belt Competitor & Champion

From rolling on basement mats to building one of Brampton’s most respected academies, Coach P has spent the last two decades living and breathing Jiu-Jitsu — not just to compete, but to lead, coach, and build a community that lasts.

He’s a 2x Masters World Champion (2018, 2023), a medalist at IBJJF Pans and Europeans, and a multiple-time Open champion — but his proudest role is developing athletes from white belt to world-class. As the Canadian Jr. National Team Head Coach (2023–24), Coach P is trusted to guide the next generation on the biggest stages.

But beyond the medals, what sets him apart is how he teaches. Coach P is known for systemizing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a way that’s organized, scalable, and effective — for every age and stage. His passion lies in helping people build confidence, handle pressure, and become coachable in every area of life.

On the mats, he’s precise.
Off the mats, he’s present.

Whether you’re a young athlete, a first-time adult, or a parent looking for someone to trust — Coach P brings the structure, care, and realness that makes all the difference.
