Magwood said North America is at a pinnacle in martial arts existence. He said there’s never been as much access to different disciplines than there is now in North America. “Somewhere like Canada you can step from culture to culture and place to place by walking from studio to studio.” He said it’s only recently in Canada that many of the Chinese studios have actually opened there doors to the public. “That’s a sign of what Canada is, the doors open, suddenly the Westerners are being trained just the same as anybody else.” Photo by Micah Bond |

Wellstood said that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very practical and relaxed offshoot of Japanese Jiu Jitsu. “I took Karate for a long time.
