We were proud to see Grand Master Marcus Soares and our Langley academy featured in the Langley Advance Times. The piece highlighted the role our longest-running location plays in the community — and the authentic Carlson Gracie jiu-jitsu that has been taught here for decades.
A home for families
Langley has always been a family-first academy, with parents and children training in their own age-appropriate classes. The feature captured exactly that: a welcoming, tight-knit community built around respect and steady progress.
Authentic lineage, locally
As Canada's only 9th-degree red belt and a first-generation student of Carlson Gracie, Marcus has spent decades keeping the detail of the art intact. Being recognised locally is a reminder of why that matters.
