West Coast BJJ & MMA BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a sophisticated martial art that allows a person to control a larger opponent in a real life confrontation using clinches, takedowns, holds and submissions while relying on leverage and technique rather than strength. We are offering BJJ classes in Vancouver/Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, Maple RIdge-Pitt Meadows and Abbotsford/Mission.

 
West Coast BJJ & MMA Muay Thai Kickboxing

Muay Thai is refered to as "The Art of eight limbs" as the hands, elbows, shins and knees are all used. A practioner thus has the ability to execute strikes using "eight points" of contact as opposed to only "4 points" (hands and feet) used in other traditional oriented forms of Martial Arts. Classes are offered for teens and adults in Vancouver/Burnaby, Port Coquitlam and Abbotsford/Mission.

Muay Thai Kickboxing & Mixed Martial Arts

Muay Thai Kickboxing

The Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sport is a reality-based sport that incorporates the most effective techniques of other Martial Arts. As a great cardio workout, the MMA sport is very technical and fast paced switching continuously between punches, kicks, takedowns and submissions. We are offering MMA classes in Abbotsford/Mission, Campbell River, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and Vancouver/Burnaby.

From West Coast BJJ & MMA Head Instructor Don Whitefield:

You may have tried some Martial Arts in the past if so, did you enjoyed the training? Many new students tell me that they want to get ripped learning a realistic Martial Art and that they want to train in a friendly club without getting beaten up or doing endless calisthenics. If you're serious about becoming a great martial artist with functional skills, then listen to this:

People from all over the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island have joined our West Coast BJJ clubs and the West Coast BJJ association...

... because we care for you! Regardless if you want to learn a high value Martial Art with real self-defence skills, loose some weight and get back in shape safely or if you are interested in competing to test your determination, we are here to help you reach your goals while teaching you the most effective Martial Arts you will ever find!

For years I got to train with the best Jiu-Jitsu fighters and instructors in the world while travelling all over North America as part of my corporate job. I trained in huge gyms with so-so instructions and I trained in small places with outstanding instructions. I saw clubs where students would be taught very well and others where lots of students got injured because the training atmosphere was too competitive and the techniques taught were too one-dimensional.

I learned that it takes a friendly club atmosphere and excellent teachers to teach complex Martial Arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing. It simply does not matter how many techniques you know or what an awesome fighter you are! It takes qualified instructors to make sense of all the information, someone who has the instructional skills to identify each student's strenghts and to support their goals.

I lost 45 pounds and I am in killer shape...
"I have been training Jiu-Jitsu with Don for less than six months and lost 45 pounds and I've never felt so fit in my life!"
Ryan Christopher, Coquitlam
My son's fitness and self-confidence have improved dramatically!
"My son Steven has improved dramatically since training with West Coast BJJ. He really looks up to Don"
Deborah McVie, Pitt Meadows

Once I found Don and West Coast BJJ I stuck with him!
" One can have great BJJ skills- as Don has- but there are few who have the ability to teach those skills to students."
Mike Lee, Maple Ridge

"Having trained at three different locations of West Coast BJJ,
I can confidently say that Don and his coaches not only make students incredible BJJ practitioners but also better people."
Victor Jeon, Vancouver

I used to work out and played team sports. Eventually I got tired of doing the same exercises over and over and to chase after a ball. When I started training in Martial Arts I loved the challenge but I found it very difficult to find competent instructions and a friendly, open minded club. Now, you don't have to look any further, try us out and see how we are different!

West Coast BJJ & MMA is a very different kind of club. We look after our students from the moment you contact us first. With us you train next to members of the local law enforcement and you get 100% Martial Arts instruction without being bored with endless push-ups.

Our students are respectful and look out for each other in a great training atmosphere. We do not tolerate students that are involved with drugs, steriods or criminal activities. You can train with us safely and receive excellent technical instructions to develop your own Martial Arts skills fast!

So don't wait any longer and start training! You will loose weight, get in shape and learn lots of cool new skills. Best of all, you get to challenge yourself and your perseverance while making new friends that share your new healthy lifestyle for years to come!

"BJJ is an incredible, life-changing experience for everyone who does it. There are few things in life that will contribute to your physical and mental well being like good training. If you consider all of the benefits you get from challenging yourself and accomplishing your small goals while training, you'd find that the monthly tuition is tiny compared to what you get in return. The best moments of my life came as a result of training, and there isn't a price you can put on that."
Andreh Anderson, BJJ Black Belt

What should you expect?
Except for Muay Thai Kickboxing classes which may be divided in basic and advanced, all classes will have a mix of students in skill and gender. Some students are just starting out while others train for a while. Most beginners enjoy to train with more experienced students at first since they can help you out a lot and answer many of your questions. Our training is focused on techniques and we do not tolerate students that cannot control their ego.

Please note that we have many local law enforcement members training with us and that we may ask you for a criminal record check if you are nineteen or older and we think it is nessecary. We do not accept gang members, drug or steriod users as students in our club.

How to get ready for class:
Bring lots of water or other fluids your body is used to and do not eat any heavy meals or junk food within two hours of any class. For the Muay Thai Kickboxing classes wear comfortable light clothes like shorts and a T-shirt. To take any BJJ, Submission Grappling or MMA classes please try to wear tight fitting clothes and pants that will cover your knees if possible. You don't need any equipment the first week, but if you have a mouth guard, boxing gloves or a martial arts uniform bring it with you to class.

Do you have more questions?
Great, if you want to talk to us regarding training please call Jason Gagnon at 778-836-7473. Jason is here to help you and he is more than happy to answer any question you may have. You can also contact me directly anytime by e-mail at info@jiujitsulife.com.

I look forward to meeting you in class!
