Genesis Martial Arts

Genesis Martial Arts is a training centre in Abbotsford, British Columbia, offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing for students of different ages and experience levels. Its Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program teaches grappling and leverage-based techniques that can help a smaller person defend against a larger opponent. The school welcomes people interested in self-defence, fitness, or competition, and describes its training environment as friendly and accessible. Head instructor Jason Gagnon is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt who travels to compete and teach seminars internationally. Genesis also guides four affiliated clubs.

The Muay Thai program introduces striking techniques using punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Classes are mixed level, and beginners are welcome. Sparring is not mandatory; students can practise for fitness, enjoyment, or self-defence using bags and pads instead. Genesis also advertises a free women’s class on Saturdays from noon to 1 p.m. The school lists weekday and weekend training hours, offers trial access, and can be contacted by email or phone.
