NOT A FIGHT TEAM
Lolakana is a hobbyist gym.
The people here have day jobs, kids and families—real lives outside of jiu-jitsu. We show up throughout the week because we love playing jiu-jitsu, not because we're building an identity around it.
No rank politics. No one hunting your neck. No pressure to compete, no side-eye if you don't.
The instructors are black belts.
The vibe is not.

WHO WE ARE
Hi, I’m Nolan and this is my wife Jessica.
I’m a member of the Sagkeeng First Nation and have been playing combat sports as a hobby for more than twenty-five years.
Jessica is a lifelong dancer who fell in love with the movement aspects of jiu-jitsu a few years back.
Lolakana started as a music project in 2020. Playlists for BJJ players who were tired and frustrated of playlists curated by algorithm. The gym came later and seemed like a natural fit for the branding.
Lolakana Martial Arts opened in Victoria BC in August 2025. We saw an opportunity to recreate the vibe of our favourite gyms from elsewhere that didn't exist here. A space to have some IRL fun with like-minded people and maybe hang out a bit after class.
We're both hobbyists. Jiu-jitsu is a fun shared interest and a way for us to play something physical together. Show up, learn something, train and go home. That's what a hobbyist does and that's what most people at Lolakana are here to do.
You don't have to wear a team-branded gi here. There's no picture to bow at. If you have gear you're comfortable in, that's all that matters to us.
Every class is led by a black belt. SafeSport BC certified across the board.
