Don’t miss out on coming to support the Alliance team this coming Saturday Nov. 16th at Rutland Senior Secondary. Submission Ace puts on a great tournament and there will be undoubtedly some incredible matches to watch.
Come out and support your teammates that are competing and also come out to support Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments in the Okanagan.
Alliance Kelowna will be closed this Saturday as we will be coaching and supporting our competitors at the Submission Ace tournament.
See you there,

Once again the Alliance BJJ teams have shown their dominance and won the 2018 British Columbia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Richmond last week. Alliance has only 3 clubs in all of BC compared to their much bigger competition but it's quality over quantity and showing the high-level of instruction that you'll receive at any Alliance Team Academies.
Big props to all the other teams competing! There were so many great matches and it's exciting to see the growth of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in British Columbia and world wide. Also a big thanks to the CBJJF to hosting the event. This takes a lot of hardworking and dedication to put a tournament of this size on and we're thankful for having the opportunity to for all our teams to come together and compete.
If you're in the area please stop by and say hi to any of the Alliance BJJ Academies:
- Kelowna - Alliance Kelowna
- Vancouver - Alliance Vancouver
- Coquitlam - True North Jiu-Jitsu
