Who We Are at Sea to Sea Jiu-Jitsu
Our School
Sea to Sea Jiu-Jitsu offers professional instruction, great training, and is conveniently located in downtown Ganges. Our mission is to provide Salt Spring Island with a community hub that is built around martial arts, movement, and service. The culture we try to cultivate at our gym is one of hard work, pushing each other and, most importantly, having fun. Students can join our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes that emphasize active training and sparring, Pilates, or Women’s Kickboxing and work toward their personal goals. You can sign up for the program that best suits your needs (or do them all!) and work towards being your best self!
Our History
Sea to Sea Jiu-Jitsu has grown from humble beginnings. Haan Palcu-Chang started the club in 2024 as a side project and ran it out of his friend’s facility for two years. The club steadily grew, and in June 2026 he and his wife, Janet Getter, decided to sign a lease for their own place right in downtown Ganges, Salt Spring Island. The club has continued to expand, leading to the addition of Pilates and Women’s Kickboxing. Now, with Haan’s years of BJJ training dating back to 2007, Janet’s time in BJJ and teaching Pilates, and various upgrades, the gym offers all our students a way to thrive through martial arts and movement training!
