MSBJJ Certified Coach · Training under Marcus Soares since age 5
Raised in the academy and training under Grand Master Marcus Soares since childhood, Ezekiel brings energy, patience and a welcoming approach to every class. His lifelong experience in the program helps him connect naturally with students of all ages.
Joining Marcus Soares BJJ Langley has been one of the best decisions I've ever made — the last 2.5 years have been amazing, physically and mentally. My daughter has some anxiety around unfamiliar situations and was nervous to join, but Marcus and Dana made it fun, respectful and so welcoming that she had no problems joining in. They've created a great atmosphere that's relaxed and welcoming to absolutely everyone.
I have been training with Marcus Soares since 2018 and it has been an incredible experience. His knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is excellent, and he has a unique ability to teach techniques in a way that is easy to understand and apply. Marcus is patient, professional and genuinely cares about the development of his students, regardless of their skill level.
Great place to train jiu-jitsu; positive environment with supportive peers all around! Highly recommend to any beginner starting out their journey in martial arts.
Our son Bennett is the youngest member here, having started at just 4 years old, and we couldn't be happier. The coaches are incredibly patient, supportive and skilled at working with young children while teaching real discipline, confidence and technique. His confidence has grown tremendously and he's constantly excited to attend. Highly recommend to any parent looking for an outstanding program for their child!
We have been attending Marcus Soares Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a little over a year and the growth I have seen from my kids is amazing. Not many people get to train with the only red belt in Canada — Marcus' passion for teaching is evident!
