A local martial arts club is making big moves in the community. Fort St. James Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has just shifted to a new spot on the main strip in Fort St. James, B. C. This is a big deal because it shows how much the club has grown in just three years. The move was a team effort, with students and adults pitching in to make it happen. This isn't just about a new address. It's about expanding what the club can offer.

The club is planning to open a new location in Vanderhoof. They're also adding a special room for kickboxing and MMA classes at the Fort St. James site. This means they can run multiple classes at the same time. It's a smart move, considering how popular martial arts have become. More people are looking for ways to stay fit and learn self-defense. The club's owner, Sloane Bravener, has been into martial arts for over a decade. He started with kickboxing and MMA before focusing on jiu-jitsu. He's got a brown belt and teaches classes for all ages.

The new location in Fort St. James is in a spot that used to be a Key location, right next to Integris Credit Union. This is a prime spot, which means more visibility and accessibility for the club. It's a good sign for the future of martial arts in the area. But here's a question to think about: How will this expansion affect the local sports scene? Will it bring in more people to martial arts? Or will it change the dynamics of other sports clubs in the area? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: Fort St. James Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not afraid to take risks and grow.
