Once again the Alliance BJJ teams have shown their dominance and won the 2018 British Columbia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Richmond last week. Alliance has only 3 clubs in all of BC compared to their much bigger competition but it's quality over quantity and showing the high-level of instruction that you'll receive at any Alliance Team Academies.
Big props to all the other teams competing! There were so many great matches and it's exciting to see the growth of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in British Columbia and world wide. Also a big thanks to the CBJJF to hosting the event. This takes a lot of hardworking and dedication to put a tournament of this size on and we're thankful for having the opportunity to for all our teams to come together and compete.
If you're in the area please stop by and say hi to any of the Alliance BJJ Academies:
