Sean McHugh: persistence and a love of learning makes a champion

Sean loved Karate from a very young age: Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan Got into weight lifting from elementary school, wrestling from junior high. Went to the Canadian Games for Olympic Lifting as a young man. When he started in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, there was literally no one in BC who was doing it, but soon masters like Marcus Soares and Dennis King and Stephan Kesting from grapplearts.com began to emerge, and he got to train with them. Started as a gym rat but was always intrigued with the martial arts. Had a dream to run his own gym. From a sublease in 2010 in Penticton he taught 3 classes a week. Then 5 years ago in Kelowna opened up First Strike Martial Arts. Since the Spring of this year, Alliance Jiu Jitsu on Kirschner, which is part of the most successful team in North America. The difference between Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts: the strategic use of leverage! Appearances aren’t everything! Getting past your self-perceptions about your looks. Failure is a huge part of success! The biggest challenge for a business owner is getting new clients coming through the door on a consistent basis.
