My mini-me. I've never regretted my traditional training. I will say, it took me roughly 20 years to understand and appreciate the value of breaking. I used to think it had to do with power, and pride and showmanship. It is none if those things. It is about developing the skill of singular focus, and controlling (or completely turning off our inner voice), if even for a brief moment in time so as to expand our capabilities. UNDERSTANDING THAT SOMETIMES END RESULT IS ONLY ACHIEVABLE THROUGH SELF SACRIFICE (or percieved self sacrifice), is a lesson learnt best early.

Uh oh....... @quinten_anderton @daniellehansen77 Challenge accepted. Challenge crushed. Sometimes you're the hammer... sometimes the nail. I choose hammer. After all of this, I'm choosing to come back better than ever. In so many ways. #attitude #attitudeiseverything

Hey guys. Here is a review of the curriculum we've been working on for the kids. I'll be posting some snippets of techniques and curriculum for all of our students over this break.

DUE TO PREVENTIVE MEASURES - our gym will be closed until March 30th. This is a very trying time for the martial arts community and our economy as a whole. We have cancelled all training and travel plans, and will take the next few weeks to be close to home to help prevent the spread of this virus. Let's all take the time to get back to basics. Read, hike, bike rides etc...let's get out front of this so we can get back to our regular routine. I'll ask please for your continued support to get through this tring time.

#Repost @gravitysc Gravity Laboratory With special thanks to Mr Kevin Van Veen, one of our founding members, seasoned martial artist and owner of Fremont Martial Arts in POCO, (Taekwondo, Jiu Jitsu and more), our next workshop is self defence training for women. ... Join us Saturday 29 February, 10am to 12 noon to learn the basic philosophy/core principles of self defense, experience some statistically high risk scenarios and apply various techniques and escape tools, to ensure your safety if needed. In addition, great confidence booster and we’ll have lots of fun! Whilst Mr Van Veen is donating his time to support his local community, we’ll dedicate some refreshments and snacks for afterwards.

Thursday competition training. Gi, no gi. All hard rounds. Thanks to @cqma1 @nwjjamapleridge @quinten_anderton @thelastmeehecan @5himp for making it such a great training experience.

Looking for something constructive for the kids to do during spring break? Our SPRING BREAK CAMP is scheduled March 16th to 20th. 930am to 12pm. LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE.

I want to take a minute to give a shout out to all of these guys and girls who are giving my 6 week intro to bjj a go. There are a few things I want to point out: 1.) It takes a tremendous amount of courage for someone who has never done martial arts before to walk through the door and put a uniform on. Congratulations . 2.) It is hard. Manage expectations. Stay with it. Nothing of true value is easily attained. 3.) Not all of you will carry on with the training. I underst...and, thank you for being open and vulnerable. 4.) Some of you will carry on. Be prepared to become the best versions of yourself. It will be hard and it will take time. However life will be hard anyway, and time will pass either way. You will just be better for it. Find a school and go train. #bjj #bjjportcoquitlam #bjjtricities #fremontvillage #poco @nwjjamapleridge @nwjja @5himp See more

If you've ever wanted to know what all the hype was about Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, here is your opportunity. 6 wednesdays. No excuses. Learn the fundamentals of the fastest growing martial art in the world and experience the benefits for yourself. Open to all teens and adults. STARTS FEB. 5TH 745pm to 845pm. @briannabrilll @daniellehansen77

Friday mornings are pretty rad I have to say. Turns out @just_jiujitsu works like 5 units down from our school. Open mats are a great place to experience some different grappling styles and a great place to build relationships with like minded individuals. One of the guys paid us a really nice compliment when he said he'd never met a student of mine that he didn't find courteous and respectful. This means a lot to me. I have to say that the martial arts landscape is changing so fast these days to becoming more inclusive and synergistic. When one school thrives, we can all thrive. #gotrain #trysomethingnewforachange #bjjcoquitlam #bjjportcoquitlam

All classes cancelled, Wednesday January 15th. Please watch for tomorrow. We will make a call by 12 noon.

I just wanted to share a very kind and thorough review from one of our students' parents. The staff and I work hard to provide a professional martial arts training experience in both #TKD and #BJJ with a healthy martial arts lifestyle for our students. Upholding traditional principles with modern teaching while staying on top of our own training is of the upmost priority for our school. We know business models for many martial arts schools have changed... but not for us. ...This is a long journey for our students. There will be amazing moments, amplified by the tough struggles that are required for constant and never ending improvement. #resilence #respect #discipline #workethic Many sports will help you with these things, but none will give you the added benefit of #selfdefense and the physical competence that come with martial arts. Find a school and #gotrain. @ Fremont Martial Arts Training Centre

Teen advanced #tkdlife getting after it. Most of these kids have been with me pushing on 10 years. What most people don't understand about martial arts is how long it takes to become truly proficient at something. For many of these kids half their life (or more) has been committed to learning the arts. Many of these kids are #tkd students and #bjj students. Think of where they would be in another 10 years. Think of how many incredible benefits could come from all of that commitment not just in terms of the physical health but the often overlooked MENTAL HEALTH. Self discipline, self control, self regulation, confidence, modesty. The ability to cope with conflict and find order in chaos. #thisaintjustasport #tkd #bjj #martialarts #martialartstricities #commitment #camaradarie #martialartslife

Indeed we do. Tomorrow, 10am to 11am. Ser you there! Open to all clubs and affiliates.

Open mat was slick today... some serious crushers. Thanks boys for coming out. #bjj #mastersbjj @ktbmma @nwjjamapleridge

Open mat @fremontmartialarts__bjj_tkd . Some of the local guys get together and train every Tuesday Thursday and Friday together... afterwards I stop and get a smoothie @organicwarehouse. The girl making my smoothie asks me about my training... probably because my face looks like it has been put through a meat grinder... @perrybateson I tell her how much I enjoy what I do, training, teaching kids... she tells me I look happy . I am happy. Why? For all of the things martial a...rts does for us, CAMARADERIE is often understated. It is an individual sport and art. But it must be practiced at the hands of others. We put a tremendous amount of trust into our training partners forging relationships that transcend the often superficial and artificial relationships of todays technology. These are real human relationships that can be beneficial for anyone looking for a community of like minded individuals. Find a school. Ask your questions. GET OUT AND TRAIN. @burnabybjj @pttabbotsford @infinitymma.ca @nwjjamapleridge @cqma1 @ascensionmapoco @lionsmmavancity @eddycadenabjj See more

Early registration is done... but there is still time! Register until November 22nd for our annual in house tournament. Brackets are forming up beautifully. www.nwjj.ca

Drillers are killers... junior BJJ class in action. If you're looking for a constructive, structured, fun activity that will build confidence, humility and modesty... find your local martial art academy and ask some questions. The benefits are endless. Most places will offer a class or 2 to try it out. We certainly do. #martialartstricities #bjjkidsclasses #camaradarie #respect... #courtesy See more

Registration for our in house tournament is OPEN! If you have never competed before and are wondering if you should, the answer is YES. For so many reasons... break out of your shell, face your fears... win or lose you WILL LEARN. You will feel AMAZING and wonder why you never have before. You will inspire people you are not even aware of... see you on the mats! @nwjja @nwjjamapleridge

The #whitebelt army grows and slowly starts turning #bluebelt I cannot say enough what an honour it is to have these guys in my life. I see so much gratification in our journeys together, bettering ourselves, humbling ourselves. Be ten years older, or ten years better... the time will pass either way. #bjj #nwjja #whitebelt #bluebelt ... #purplebelt #brownbelt #fremontvillage See more

Another great session with the boys out at GFTeam in burnaby... thank you for opening your doors to us. A melting pot of knowledge and experience makes us all better grapplers.

Thank you to @gary_hsueh and the wreaking crew for having us out today. @perrybateson @ryan_christop5 Great training with some classy guys. Thanks boys, looking forward to the next one.

This guy @5himp. Fights up a weightclass and gives up 10 years. Brings home the SILVER! Way to go coach! We are all SO proud! Thanks CBJJF for running such a well organized event.

There are not many people I trust as much as these guys. Need someone to talk to about teaching? Business? Ripping arms off or strangling someone? These are your guys... here's to another amazing year of camaraderie boys. Just missing @ribeirojjlangley

NWJJA Patches are in! Represent our Academy with these high quality patches on your favorite uniform or hoodie. Limited quantities... grab them while you can.

Happy long weekend...

Just before making weight... won my first, lost in the second. Next time! Coach Perry Bateson and Coach Steve are up Friday at noon and 2. Can't wait!

Day 0. Las Vegas baby! IBJJF Worlds Masters kicks off tomorrow... looks like my bracket is set for 3pm tomorrowwishing all of our local talent their best rounds of the year! Let's bring home some @5himp @nwjja @perrybateson

Fresh off of vacation... Killer leg day @gravitysc . Then home for some killer #sledgehammerworkout ... off to #mastersworlds next week in #vegas. #bjj #ibjjf #martialartstricities #bjjportcoquitlam #bjjmapleridge #nwjja @ Gravity Laboratory

Just a reminder that our Friday open mat will be hosted by our school @nwjjamapleridge on Aug 2nd and Aug 9th from 930am to 1030am. We are off on a break for staff vacations. Have a great week! Back on the 16th!

It's crazy to me the way that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brings people together. These guys take time out of their busy lives to get together 2 or 3 days a week to better benefit each other. These guys own schools, teach, have full time jobs...in theory we should be competing against each other, and yet here we are. #bjjcoquitlam #bjjtraining #bjjmasters #bjjmapleridge #bjjgirls #camaradarie #bjjaldergrove If you've EVER thought you should give it a try the answer is YES. I would have a hard time believing their is anything better for your mental or physical health than than #brazilianjiujitsu . Turns out I can recommend a number of amazing schools. @ribeirojjlangley @nwjjamapleridge @nwjja @cqma1 @5himp

Dinner and deck. #happysunday #vegansushi @purepitbalm @ Port Moody, British Columbia

Sometimes it's just...

This guy. @5himp Few people have a passion for Jiu Jitsu like this guy. Or a passion for life in general. This guy lives and breathes Jiu Jitsu in all areas of his life. As a father, husband and business owner he lives and breathes passion... congratulations on your first stripe my friend. #whitebelt #bluebelt #purplebelt #brownbelt #blackbelt #bjjcoquitlam #bjjportcoquitlam #martialartstricities

Gotta love mondays. Sweat it out @gravitysc . Love this place! If you're looking for a solid place for strength and conditioning, rowing, calisthenics, this place has it all. Owners are super great and the gym is amazing! #gym #gymmotivation #fitnesstricities #portmoody

Just a heads up... no open mat tomorrow. We're taking a long weekend. Enjoy! @perrybateson @_jasonpearson @5himp

Hey boys... leave some cuteness for the rest of us. #omg #tkd #sparrimg #fremontvillage #martialartsportcoquitlam #martialartstricities #martialarts

I'd like to give a huge congratulations to my friend and longtime student Keith Fukishima. Keith has been a friend of mine for 20 years has been a student of mine for 12. He has earned a second degree black belt in Taekwondo and today his purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Thank you to @nwjja and @perrybateson for the support! BIG NIGHT! Congratulations Tammy, Reese and Isaac from @nwjjamapleridge as well. Great job!#gymanimals. @ Northwest Jiu-Jitsu Maple Ridge

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu like all things in life is LARGELY CYCLICAL. I have this conversation with my students often. There are times when you are learning and taking on information at an astounding rate, your health and fitness are at the top of your game, you are feeling positive and strong. Then there are the times it feels like you may actually be getting worse. It seems like every technique you try to adopt costs you 2. There are injuries... sometimes small, sometimes bigger.... There are no stripes and any advice given to you seems like it should be for someone else, because it doesn't make sense. Understand, THAT THIS IS NORMAL. YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THIS WAY, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS... This is not the time to stop showing up. It is the time to look at yourself In the mirror and say "this is when everyone else stops showing up, not me". Sometimes the bottom of the barrel needs to be exposed so that we can reconnect with the top. This is the internal struggle which forges great Training Partners. People that can speak from an experience that simply cannot be earned any other way. #happyfriday #fridaymotivation #bjj #bjjportcoquitlam #bjjmapleridge #bjjcoquitlam #camaradarie #martialartstricities #martialarts #nwjja #tricitiesfitness #bjjproblems #fitnessgoals #mma See more

Nothing makes me happier than seeing how much our female participation in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has grown in the last year. It tells me we are a safe, welcoming school.
