Testimonials For Team First Strike

When I started attending classes in Penticton at the First Strike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy I immediately realized the health benefits and mental strength gained through training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I look forward to every class as First Strike’s BJJ Academy and head instructor Sean McHugh patiently teaches new material, reviews earlier learned techniques and makes learning easy and fun.

I came to the First Strike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Team to learn the ground game for self-defence. Mr. McHugh teaches in a clear step by step manner making techniques easy to learn. There is a whole team support as every helps each other to learn the techniques and supports you to be the best you can be.

Great Training, great atmosphere, great workout!

I have been training with Mr. McHugh since we met at Marcus Soares Jiu-Jitsu school in Burnaby BC in 2007. Sean would substitute teach occasionally when Marcus was in Brazil or out town cornering competitors.

I recently moved back to Penticton and was thrilled to find out that Mr. McHugh had started First Strike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy. Sean has great knowledge of the martial art and his easy going personality makes him such a great instructor. Something that really stands out for me at First Strike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is how friendly and helpful all the students are. Everyone trains very hard and leaves the “tough guy” attitude at the door. I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for over five years and I feel as though I like it more and more everyday. I get inspired by training at First Strike Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy and have seen myself improve because of this.
