Can-Ryu Jiu-Jitsu |
| Chief Instructor |
Aird Flavelle - 2nd Degree Black Belt; 8 years of I.T.F. Taekwon-do and 14 years of Can-Ryu Jiu-Jitsu and self-protection. Founding Director of Jiu-Jitsu B.C. Society. Ongoing training with Shihan Steve Hiscoe. Member of the Hiscoe Jiu-Jitsu Group. |
| Philosophy |
Self-protection and traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, primarily stand-up style, and as taught by Steve Hiscoe of Chilliwack. The self-protection component teaches the use-of-force-continuum and appropriate responses to physical threats, with an emphasis on learning how to avoid physical confrontations altogether. The Can-Ryu style of Jiu-Jitsu has a core training component of "what to do when the bad-guy grabs you". A response to an attack under the Can-Ryu style, can be characterized by a distraction followed by an unbalancing strike, a throw or controlling technique, and if required, further strikes until the attacker is no longer a threat (blow-throw-blow). |
| Class Schedule |
Tues. & Thurs. at noon. Ideal for business people and shift-workers. |
