The Guadalajara native is issuing a call to action: "Train mixed martial arts NOW! This world is often unfair and cruel; give yourself a better chance to handle dangerous situations. Never let anyone hurt you."

Salt Spring Jiu-Jitsu — The Heart of Jiu Jitsu on Salt Spring Island

07/07/2025

This weekend, things came together for our competition crew in a way that felt seamless and that’s no accident.
When someone like Marcus is behind the scenes, offering support, sharing wisdom, and opening doors, things tend to flow.

He’s the man who brought Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Canada. The one who gave us our lineage, our gradings, and our standard. And more than that, he’s always reminded us of what this is really about - Family.

Not just the kind you’re born into. But the kind you grind with, build with, grow with. The kind the Gracies built Jiu Jitsu on. The kind Marcus has always extended to us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Professor.
From the heart of Jiu-Jitsu on Salt Spring Island.
🙏🥋🔥

Salt Spring Island showed up.

Four competitors. One team. Heart, grit, and a whole lot of Jiu-Jitsu at Grappling Industries Vancouver this weekend.

🥋 Noah LaBelle – With just 4 weeks of training, Noah stepped up like a warrior, submitting one of the most experienced athletes in his gi division. He placed 5th out of 9 in Gi and 5th in No-Gi under 170 lbs. A fierce debut and a name to watch.

🥉 Kyan Host Robinson – After getting caught in a tough armbar early in his Gi bracket, Kyan battled on through both divisions. His resilience paid off with a bronze medal in No-Gi (under 135 lbs) and some huge moments of growth. Grit embodied.

🥉 Lohan Parker – Took 4th in a stacked 9-man Gi division, then rallied in No-Gi with sharp, technical attacks — securing a triangle and armbar finish to earn a hard-fought bronze medal in the under 170 lbs white belt bracket. Beautiful work under pressure.

🥇🥇 Coach Colton Koopmans – Competed in the brown belt under 170 division and brought home double gold, finishing every match by submission in both Gi and No-Gi. Leading from the front.

This weekend wasn’t just about medals — it was about testing ourselves, leveling up, and representing Salt Spring with heart.

We win together. We lose together. And we always grow together.
