Thanks Tanya for such an incredible Google business review.

We had Paul and Jason go down to Kamloops to compete in the Super Cup Championships. Paul won 2 gold medals in the Blue Belt division. Paula won the gold in Gi and the Gold in No-Gi. Jason performed very well with this being his first tournament and only 4-5 month of experience in BJJ. Jason lost his first match by points, won his 2nd match by points, won his 3rd match by submission and lost his 4 match by submission.
I couldn’t be prouder of these 2 and well forward to the Alliance Team competing and winning in 2019.
Cheers,
Sean McHugh
