Rod McLean

ABOUT ME…

Rod has been studying the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for several years. The start of his journey with BJJ began in Abbotsford BC in 2016. Rod studied under several different Brown and Black belt Coaches, learning unique skills from each of them. Prior to the Covid shut down in 2020, Rod had begun Coaching alongside one of his Coaches and Mentors. After moving in 2021, Rod wanted to continue and expand that life path in his new hometown of Barriere.

After a very successful year and a half of offering part time classes in Barriere, he’s ready to expand once again and offer a full time gym with additional programs and availability. Rod continues to be a lifelong learner expanding his skills through attending other gyms and seminars across BC and North America

Rod is Father to two girls, one of whom has also been active in BJJ for several years. Although he loves Coaching the adults, he feels there’s something especially rewarding about working with kids. Seeing their growth not only in Jiu Jitsu, but their overall behaviour, outlook, confidence, and health is gratifying
