📍 Advantage & Yamato Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy — North Burnaby

🎉 Celebrate Our Founder’s Birthday on the Mats!

October 14 is the birthday of Hiroki Takaya, Founder and Head Instructor of Advantage & Yamato Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy!

This year is especially meaningful as it’s his first birthday as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt!

Hiroki is also the manager of Chit-Chat, a local community group that helps people connect and make friends.

To celebrate his birthday, Hiroki is inviting everyone to join his regular beginner-friendly No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu class!

This is a structured Jiu-Jitsu class focused on learning techniques, not just a birthday party!

Hiroki will teach:

• Basic body movements • Beginner-friendly No-Gi techniques • Partner drills and grappling fundamentals • Safe, controlled positional training

No experience needed! Beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome!

No Gi (uniform) is required. Just wear comfortable athletic clothes!

Regular academy members will also be attending, so the actual class size may be larger than the Meetup RSVP count.

Classes are taught in English, with Japanese support available.

💰 Fees & Membership

• First trial: FREE (eligible local residents only) • Drop-in: $40 CAD • Regular membership: $125 CAD/month • Student membership: $100 CAD/month (valid student ID required)

⚠️ Local Residents Only — Free Trial Policy

The free trial is available only to local residents who plan to stay in the Vancouver area for at least two months.

Visitors and anyone planning to leave Vancouver within two months must pay the $40 CAD drop-in fee, even for their first class.

🎒 What to Bring

• Comfortable workout clothes • Water • A towel • A positive attitude!

For safety, please avoid clothing with zippers or metal parts and remove jewelry before training.
