Our Club

 West Vancouver Martial Arts academy (WVMA) is a premiere martial arts club founded by brothers, Master Blake Lirette and Sensei Dean Lirette.  WVMA is much more than a fitness gym; it’s a place where our members reach their physical and mental goals, one class at a time.

Starting from white belt you will strengthen your mind, develop solid technical foundation and by being diligent, you can achieve your black belt and beyond.  Each student is required to learn specific techniques: stances, defense, moving, and striking.  All classes include stretching, technique practice, and conditioning.  martial arts training strengthens core muscles and will keep you lean, flexible, and strong!  Martial arts will increase your overall fitness level and well being.

With consistent practice, you will, without a doubt:

• strengthen your mind

• increase your self-discipline
• meet great people
