Black Rock Martial Arts

Proud supporter of the Girl Guides of Canada 🍪

One of our teen members, Willow, is a part of Girl Guides and when we were asked to sponsor their event Guides at the Tides, we were quick to say yes! She does kickboxing and jiu jitsu and is an excellent role model.

If you’ve got some time in your life this weekend for some fun (if not, you should make time), and come down to Riptide Lagoon Mini Golf to play a round or two of mini golf and support this group. Help these girls raise money to go on a trip of a life time to the beautiful Maritime provinces. 🌊

10 days out from stepping into the cage 💥

Marco put Nick and the team through the paces last night as Nick’s first MMA fight is just over 1 week away. This guy shows up and WORKS day in and day out and having these guys training alongside him is only helping him get more and more prepared for this fight.

We will be hosting a live stream of his fight at Black Rock on Saturday September 19 at 7pm.

Train where you’re coached, not just trained. 👊🏽

You don’t need to be a fighter to train like one 🥊

Max and Josh both work at Canpro Deck and Rail Nanaimo, where they build beautiful decks by day and train boxing and MMA with us by night. And it looks like they enjoy training together (or at least Max is having a good time).

With unlimited adult training for $150/month, you don’t have to choose just one.

🥊 Boxing
🥋 Jiu Jitsu
🔥 Kickboxing
👊 MMA
🥋 Taekwondo
💪 Strength & Conditioning

Your first class is the hardest one to walk into. After that, you’re part of the team. Then you can enjoy your training as much as these two!

Closed for the holiday today - see you all tomorrow! Have a great first day back at school!

Was so great having David back training with us for a couple weeks!

Not everyday you get to have a training partner like him around. He trained and competed with us a couple of years ago in kickboxing and his skills have only improved over time. He’s a big guy but man is he quick!

Premium training without the premium price tag.

The other day, UFC veteran Tristan Connelly was at Black Rock teaching a couple of seminars. He’s trained in gyms all over the world, and while he was here he said something that really made us proud: “You guys are really lucky to have a gym like this.”

Recently, one of our own members, Andrew, had a similar experience. After doing business at a few other gyms around the Island, he came back and basically said, “I didn’t realize how good we had it here.”

When this is the gym you walk into every day, and maybe if it’s the only gym you’ve ever trained at, it’s easy to forget what we actually have.

A fully equipped, 4100 square foot facility. A huge variety of martial arts under one roof. Coaches with decades of experience. Active fighters and competitors. Classes for complete beginners all the way to experienced athletes. And, most importantly, a community of people who genuinely want to see each other get better.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Black Rock but with current state of the world and all that comes with it, we also believe that a great gym shouldn’t have to come with a high price tag.

So we’ve changed our memberships.

🔴 Adult Standard Membership — $150/month
Unlimited access to our adult classes.

⚫️ Premium Membership — $200/month
Unlimited training plus additional Premium Member benefits.

⚪️ Teen Membership — $150/month
Unlimited access to teen classes.

And we now have flexible kids memberships starting at $145/month, with options for kids who want to train in one, two, or all three programs.

We believe training is an investment in your health, confidence and quality of life. If someone wants to train, get healthier, learn something new and become part of a great community, we don’t want price to be the reason they can’t.

We know how good we have it here and we want more people on Vancouver Island to experience it.

Great day of training over the weekend!

Massive thanks to Tristan Connelly for coming out and sharing his jiu jitsu and striking knowledge with us. I can guarantee that everyone left the gym feeling like they learned something new.

Also, a huge thank you to our amazing members who came out and made these seminars a great experience. To see all of you coming out because you want to improve is awesome to see.

We’re looking forward to having Tristan out again soon!
