A Mom's Incredible Review of Our Club

We are at 65 Five Star ratings right now!

Tanya is the mom of Angus who’s 13 years old and has just finished his 3rd month with us. Angus is very shy and his parents weren’t sure how he would do in adults class. We’ve seen improvement each class with Angus in both his BJJ skills and his social skills.

Thanks Tanya for such an incredible Google business review. 

We’re delighted to have your son Angus being a part of our team and we’re excited to be a part of his martial arts journey.

Paul Wins Double Gold Medals!



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
