LET'S CHAT BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU AND SELF DEFENSE... This is probably the most asked question I get, in fact I answer calls/emails several times a week asking the same question: Do you offer self defense classes? The simple answer is NO, not a specific class for "self defense". Then I get into the specifics of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu...... Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an extremely practical way for someone to defend themselves against an attacker.Jiu Jitsu teaches control and breaks moves down more than any other martial art. If there is one person that is instigating an altercation, Jiu Jitsu is the best martial art to train. Why is this? BJJ allows you to keep a cool frame of my mind and implement techniques in a high stress situation because of how intense and realistic sparring is. When you roll with your partner, you actually have to control, takedown, and submit a strong and realistically resistant opponent.In many other martial arts, the flaw is that they cannot simulate the reality of using what they teach in real life. So...do we offer self defense classes? YES! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is what you need. Not only for the practised real life simulation, but also for the confidence and fitness you and your child will gain. #bjj #teamevolution #kempefitnfight #kempefamily #rolls #selfdefense #confidence #fitness #blackbelt

Did you know we carry Defense Soap at the studio? What is Defense Soap good for? Defense Soap is superior to any antibacterial soap you can buy on the market.... The natural ingredients have been clinically shown to be effective against Ringworm, MRSA, Jock Itch, Staph, Impetigo and Herpes. Defense Soap is an effective deep penetrating body soap with NATURAL antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial soap ingredients. For this reason, it is the most widely used soap by wrestlers, MMA, Jiu Jitsu, and any close-contact sport participant. We sell the Original Defense Soap bars at the studio for $7.50 + tax. Can be purchased via e-transfer, or through your online account. #kempefitnfight #fitnfight #defensesoap #antiviral #keepitclean #prosoap #mrsa #prevention

WOW...1 YEAR!!! Kempe Fitness & Fighting has been in operation for 1 year already! During that time we have grown exponentially, and have acquired our own training studio. Bernie and I started this whole endeavor out of his love for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the need to stay active, and his love for sharing the sport with others. We are passionate about what we do, and hope to instill our value of fitness and sport in leading a healthy lifestyle to others.... We started with 3 classes per week of BJJ, and now we teach almost daily with fitness classes, kickboxing, and our newly added yoga to the line up! Crazy! We are ever grateful to those who have been with us since the beginning, those of you who helped us renovate our studio, and the amazing instructors who are a big part of our Kempe Family. We want to emphasize that without community support, small local businesses would not be able to operate. We are so fortunate to be thriving during these unsettling times, and realize that the services/classes we provide help not only with a persons ability to stay physically healthy, but with their mental health and stress relief as well...in a safe, inclusive, and healthy manner. So THANK YOU to all the small local businesses that support us (you know who you are), our events, and our Kempe family!! Stay tuned folks...we have so much more coming your way! Cheers #kempefamily #kempefitnfight #warrior #champion #athlete #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #mentalhealth #bjj #teamevolution #yoga #kickboxing #fitnessclasses #fitnfight #supportlocal #coldlakeregionalchamberofcommerce

Kempe's "Charity of Choice" is the Cold Lake Food Bank. We whole-heartedly believe in supporting local charities, especially the food bank, as there are always individuals and families in need of basic human necessities such as quality nutrition. For many, the struggle between paying rent or putting good food on the table is very real. And for that reason, Bernie and I have chosen to help support by holding food drives throughout the year, and we will continue to do so movin...g forward. For us, we want what we donate to stay within our local community, to go towards individuals and families that need it the most, and that will help people immediately. Our next food drive will be starting very soon, as Thanksgiving is next month, we want everyone to have food on the table this year. Stay tuned for details Kempe Family, as we have something special in store for you #kempefitnfight #fitnfight #kempefamily #fooddrive #coldlakefoodbank #donationshelp #doyourpart

Why should kids train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? The sport teaches kids how to be disciplined, patient, teaches resilience and problem solving, critical thinking skills, and this ...learning how to teach others! Our youth classes give our youth members the opportunity to not only practise what they've learned, but teach newer members the techniques to be able to gain confidence and further develop their skills. This is our WHY behind what we do here at Kempe!! We want to build a strong community of like-minded individuals, youth and adult, and give everyone the opportunity to learn, practise, refine, and share/pass on their knowledge. We can all learn from one another
