Lapel Arts Jiu-Jitsu
Not managed on Matador yetJiu Jitsu
Lapel Arts is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Vancouver's Fairview-Kitsilano neighbourhood, founded during the pandemic in its owners' live/work loft before moving into a larger purpose-built space. It is led by black belts Lucas Wilhan and Pauline Bak, both active Gi and NoGi competitors, and the gym promotes its own black belts in-house. The programme covers adults of all levels, women-only classes, games-based "lab" sessions, wrestling and judo for BJJ, leg locks and open mats. Children have dedicated classes and private lessons, including a service for neurodivergent kids. Visitors are welcome, and a competition sponsorship program supports the team. The mat area has a sprung floor, tatami mats and climate control.
