Nestled between the majestic Pacific Ocean and the rolling, lush peaks of the North Shore mountains, Vancouver stands as a breathtaking gem on Canada's western coast. Its skyline, characterized by sleek, modern skyscrapers, has earned it the moniker "city of glass." This nickname reflects not only the city's impressive architecture but also its vibrant energy and forward-thinking spirit. Vancouver's glass-clad towers reflect the azure hues of the ocean and the emerald greens of the surrounding forests, creating a harmonious blend of urban sophistication and natural beauty. With its stunning waterfront views, thriving cultural scene, and abundant outdoor recreational opportunities, Vancouver serves as the perfect location for a BJJ weekend getaway!

The costs that are considered when we set pricing include our coaches rates, airfare, and accommodations, the cost for transport services which are always provided to the training facility when necessary and to excursions, the costs for dinners and parties, and our yearly marketing costs.
How much experience do I need?
