Lapel Arts was founded in 2021 mid-pandemic, by us, Lucas and Pauline. At a time when Jiu Jitsu and all contact sports were taken away by the pandemic restrictions, we believed we could still provide a safe service for those who were passionate practitioners and needed the sport in their lives, just like us.

​

We built a studio gym in our work/live loft in Mount-Pleasant, Vancouver, where many artist have similar business-living spaces, and that was the start of Lapel Arts. The small, yet very nice studio welcomed at first only private classes and eventually grew to small group classes.

The people who supported us in this beginning made it possible for us to migrate to our larger current space, and some became our current instructors.
