DCS - Diaz Combat Sports

"DCS started in a small 2 car garage in the Vancouver area. It started as a place for my friends and I to train together. That hasn't changed I just got a lot more friends now." - Ryan Diaz

There is no better workout than smashing pads. What workout out there has the benefits of working out and not even knowing it, stress relief, learning a skill and gaining confidence and self-defence.nWe believe that doing martial arts is the best workout you can give to yourself. We are proud to have a fun, friendly, and positive atmosphere which makes it easy to meet people. One of our key rules is that all members leave their egos at the door, which ensures that everybody at DCS is easy to get along with. "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people don’t kill their husbands. They just don't" - Elle Woods (Played by Reece Witherspoon)

Martial Arts training gives you confidence by letting you realize that you could defend yourself if needed. Also, practicing Martial Arts makes you physically stronger. As you gain muscle and lose weight, you will gain confidence with your progress and, in turn, become mentally stronger as well. Doing a Martial Arts class will make you burn calories. Combined with a healthy diet, it’s a proven way to reduce weight! With Martial Arts, the combined repetition of techniques and calisthenics will help you build muscle, making you stronger. By getting physically stronger, you will in turn become mentally stronger as well. You will learn strikes and grappling techniques you can use in self-defense situations.
