On June 30th, 2014 I was visting Penticton for the weekend for a friend's wedding and as a…read morebrazilian jiu jitsu hobbyist (purple belt) from Edmonton, I emailed Allan Goes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Penticton to ask if I could drop-in to a class for fun. Erik Lund, the BJJ black belt instructor responded and invited me to come to any of the classes while I was in town. When I came by for the Monday evening class, Erik and his students could not have been more friendly or welcoming. The facilities were very nice with a muay thai/boxing ring and a large room of mats for grappling. The class was enjoyable and I particularily appreciated that Erik's students welcomed me to train with them and did not try to "smash" the visitor when we did some rolling (sparring or wrestling) at the end of class. Erik's ability to teach BJJ is evidenced by his students skills. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in BJJ to check out Allan Goes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Penticton.

My poor daughter has been patiently waiting for the prize she earned many years ago. No child should have to wait that long for something they worked that hard for.

Start with a 2 min. warm-up…read more(skipping rope or stepping), and at the sound of the bell (just like in a boxing ring) you move on to punching and kicking. It's 15 sec. of practicing your form, then 15 sec. at high speed, back to 15 sec. at a slower pace to improve technique, and you pick up the pace for another 15 sec. Phew! One minute into it, go for another min. alternating. The bells rings twice -- time for the next 'station'. Just 15 sec., so move quickly : ). ... before you know it, your standing before "Bob" and it's your final round. Ding! Ding! You are done! You've worked up a sweat (or not, pace yourself : ). Owner Fernanda (or Amber) is on the floor, encouraging, instructing, motivating. It's time efficient (45 min. 3/week, including cool-down stretching). For busy life-styles (and whose isn't) this gets the job done. I love it! Give it a try! You've got nothing to lose (except low-energy, brain-fog, and flab : )!
