Lance Burgener

Jiu Jitsu Programs

Lance Burgener has been training and competing in grappling sports since 1989. Beginning in wrestling, he later trained at SFU and earned a national silver medal in 1997. He then turned his focus to judo, training and coaching under Tokue Suda and earning a brown belt.

Lance began his Brazilian jiu-jitsu journey in 2003 in São Paulo, Brazil, where he spent six months teaching wrestling takedowns to professional jiu-jitsu athletes.

Now settled in Errington, Lance shares his love of grappling with students of all ages. His coaching blends wrestling takedowns, judo sweeps and throws, and the technical guard play of BJJ. He continues to develop his own skills as a student of UFC fighter Tristan Connelly and currently holds a brown belt in no-gi jiu-jitsu under Xtreme Couture head coach Dennis Davis.
