It was an amazing weekend!! The community showed up and had a great time. The instruction from Professor Brian was great and showed cool techniques to add to what we've been working on. Giving us pointers that I haven't seen myself. Thank you very much to Professor Brian, Professor Perry and Professor Shawn. I can't thank you enough for the support. Thank you to everyone that come out to participate and support the gym. Without the community, none of this would be possible.
We'd also like to thank our sponsors that helped us with this special event. There will be more pictures and videos to come.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT...

What a fun class with guest instructor Coach David Gillis! Great turnout, great instruction, and some great wrestling on the mats.

A big thank you to Coach Dave for sharing his time and expertise with us. Wrestling is such a valuable complement to jiu jitsu, and we’re lucky to have the opportunity to learn from someone with his experience.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such an awesome night of training!

WRESTLING x JIU JITSU — THIS THURSDAY!

This Thursday at 7:30pm, our No-Gi class will be focused on wrestling with special guest instructor Coach David Gillis!

Dave is a competitive wrestling coach, teacher in Pelly, President of Grapple Yukon Association, and President & Head Coach of the Selkirk Bears Wrestling Club.

Wrestling is a huge part of effective jiu jitsu — from takedowns and balance to pressure, control, and determining where the fight takes place.

Come learn from Dave and sharpen your wrestling for jiu jitsu. Don’t miss this one!
