Can-Ryu Jiu-jitsu: Self-Defense Martial Arts Vancouver / Richmond BC


Are you looking for training that combines practical self-defense and traditional martial arts techniques?

That's what the West Coast Japanese Jiu-jitsu program in Vancouver / Richmond, BC is all about.

Limited Time Offer: FREE Uniform! 

Until the end of Sept, if you sign up as a new member at our martial arts dojo, you'll get a free uniform (retail value: $40). Contact us now to set up two free trial classes.


You'll learn Can-Ryu Jiu-jitsu fundamentals that work around differences in size and strength for self-defense, combining throwing, striking, kicking, blocking, and joint locks. It's a modern traditional style of Japanese Jiu-jitsu that is suitable for women & men of all sizes and abilities!

This self-defense arsenal can be used to protect yourself against strikes of all kinds, holds, grappling and weapon attacks. Plus...

In Can-Ryu Jiu-jitsu, you learn to apply your skills in accordance with Canadian laws, unlike many other martial arts systems. Because of this, as well as the practical self-defense applications of our system, we have a number of law enforcement officers who train with us. More about martial arts training for police.

Through regular Japanese Jiu-jitsu training you'll develop speed, co-ordination, balance, leverage, and timing, as well as personal awareness and self-confidence. Many students also find that their performance in other physical activities improve too. More about why people choose us.

Many Jiu-jitsu students, men and women of all ages, have trained under our Jiu-jitsu instructors. The experience is fun and personally rewarding. Read the complete testimonials.

No Competitive Macho Attitudes

Some martial arts schools produce students who test themselves at the expense of others, using competitions as a measuring stick of their students' progress. Martial arts tournaments don't necessarily teach you the skills you need for street self-defense and often result in injury.

Self-Development Through Martial Arts Training

Our teaching format is focused on training hard and helping students to realize their full potential, mentally and physically through martial arts. Students work at their own pace, bettering themselves one class at a time. More about our Jiu-jitsu classes.

Vancouver Women's Self-Defense Class 
This is a 2-hour course in self-defense with the busy woman in mind. Not everyone has the time to take up a martial art, so we devised this course to give you personal safety skills to prevent dangerous situations and basic physical tools you can learn easily, which could save your life if you're ever attacked. Contact us if you would like to organize a self-defense class for a group or organization in the Vancouver area. Our next class will be held on Sat. Sept. 25.  More about our Richmond BC / Vancouver women's self-defense classes.

 

"There are only a few women in Canada who have achieved the level of black belt that Lori has. She is very skilled & able to effectively communicate with her students."
"I've been a martial artist over 18 years in Karate & am a qualified martial arts instructor myself. I'm very pleased with the quality of the training provided by Lori. She's professional, enthusiastic & dedicated to her students' success."
"I learned a lot about the difference between strength and technique in the martial arts and how being a woman is no excuse for a lack of either!"

"Lori is a well-educated individual & skilled martial artist. I've meet several hundred martial artists & colleagues over the past 2 years but not many have left the impression that she did."

"Lori Sensei made me feel safe during Jiu-jitsu class. She ensured my success with self-defense by pushing enough to challenge me, but never more than I was ready for."
