One of our soon to be Pro Fighters, Julien Leblanc talks about (in French) his experience training with the Patenaude Team, what it takes to succeed in your training and how he got to be where he's at in MMA.
Julien has accomplished alot in the past 5 years. He literally could not do one single push-up when he started.
He had low self-confidence.
And was overweight.
Now, he's one of our top competitors, he's undefeated and he's making his Pro debut in September.
Julien's story isn't an isolated incident.
You too can make a positive change in your life by joining our team.
All that is required is effort, perseverance and commitment.

Local Fight Circuit a Success
I just finished uploading a new Fight Night Video from our last event in February.
Watch as "first timers" show off their skills and gain the experience they will need to step it up into amateur and pro circuits.
This really is our breeding ground for our up and coming fighters.
Judging the success of our fighters during the past year in various circuits, SFL and Hybrid, notably, our winning formula of starting them out with full protection and 12 oz gloves to an open face and 10 oz gloves is a great way to protect our fighters when climbing the ranks and getting them ready for the Instinct Pro Circuit in Montreal.
Cedric Mongeon leads the way with his pro fight debut in June and quick to follow suit, a stable of a dozen fighters are ready to make the leap later this summer.
"It's very exciting" says Sifu Patrick Marcil, "It's always been our dream to bring a fighter up to the UFC and now judging how it's going, it won't be just one, and our dream is closer than we thought, all this in record time".
Watch the video and let me know what you think, you think some of these guys are going to make it?
Only time will tell.

Cung Le Teaser Fight Camp 2011
As you might already know Cung uses Sanshou techniques to dominate his opponents.
Naturally, Kung-Fu practitioners gravitate towards Cung because of the connection.
And we’re not any different.
We’ve been following Cung’s career for a long time and always appreciated how well he applied the principles of Kung-Fu in competitions.
That said, when the opportunity presented itself to train privately and have him come down as a guest of honour at our annual Fight Camp, we couldn’t pass it up.
With Cung’s help we’ll be training and preparing our fighters for national level competitions and getting them ready for the Canadian Olympic Team try-outs for Sanshou.
Click here to view a teaser video of our Fight camp with Cung Le in action.
Apart from Cung’s awesome skill, what impressed me the most about him is; he’s one of the most down to earth guys I’ve ever met. A true martial artist.
Friendship Always.

Cung Le Fight Camp 2011
Had a blast with Cung.
Here are some pictures from the event.
If you're thinking of getting involved in Sanshou and Martial Arts in one of our schools in the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto Area follow this link to get started.
Sanshou is a dynamic sport and visually entertaining.
Similar to Kickboxing, Sanshou matches also include Throwing, Sweeping and Take Down techniques.
You can view one of our latest Sanshou Fight Nights here.
We'll be rooting for him in his upcoming match against Wanderlei Silva.
Cung Le isn't just a fighter. He holds very strong traditional values of honor, respect and dedication. It's rare to see this kind of balance in today's fighters.
We're looking forward to continuing our work with him in the future.
Master Yourself,

Cung Le in Casselman, Ontario
We're pleased to announce a special guest appearance at our 2011 Fight Camp.
The Camp will be held on Sunday, June 19th at our Private Training Pagoda in Casselman (25 minutes from Ottawa, 1 hr 15 minutes from Montreal). The event will run from 11 am to 3 pm.
Last year we had world renowned Grappler, Gokor Chivichyan.
This year we have World Sanshou Champion and Strikeforce Middle Weight Champion, Cung Le to head the event.
As you might already know Cung uses Sanshou techniques to dominate his opponents.
Sanshou means "Free Hand" or traditionally, Sparring is called Sanda which means "Free Fighting". It's a mixture of various Kung-Fu styles rolled into one. Kinda like how the Soviets created their Sambo or how MMA has evolved in North America.
The main focus is to stay standing up. Punching, Kicking, Clinching, Throwing, Take Downs and Sweeps make up the sport. It's very exciting to watch compared to other types of events.
And Cung Le has made a name for himself doing it.
It's a chance you won't want to miss. If you're a member I urge you to register as quickly as possible through the link below. This event is also open to the public but you must act quickly (priority is given to our existing members) by registering below.
The Camp will be held on Sunday, June 19th at our Private Training Pagoda in Casselman (25 minutes from Ottawa, 1 hr 15 minutes from Montreal). The event will run from 11 am to 3 pm.
See you there,
