#vancitystrong

Hey Vancouver. My name is Ryan ‘The Lion’ Diaz. I’m just a kid from East Van with big goals and dreams. And this is my dream. We built this non-intimidating, inclusive, fun, safe and positive place to share my passion and love of martial arts to all of Vancouver. This place has something for everyone. A place where the people of Vancouver can have fun, smile, laugh and at the same time get an awesome workout.
