From the reviews
I have been regularly attending the BJJ classes taught here and feel like I can reliably say that Vancouver Elite is top notch. The head instructor for the BJJ class, Chase, is a black belt and is a fantastic teacher.
I love this gym. The culture at Vancouver Elite is incredibly welcoming and supportive starting with gym manager Eric. He’s always smiling, ready to welcome new faces and obviously provides incredible coaching.
"I’ve been taking the BJJ classes at Elite for some time now and can say it’s been an awesome experience. From day one, I was warmly welcomed and supported by everyone. The coaches and fellow practitioners have been patient, encouraging, and willing to help me improve.

New to kickboxing? Start at Vancouver Elite MMA
Vancouver Elite MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Vancouver Elite MMA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
