Welcome to The SOUND, the Sea to Sky Corridor's premier martial arts school located in Squamish, BC. The SOUND strives to provide a respectful, safe and challenging environment for all our students to achieve their full potential. In our family orientated environment, we offer both kids' and adults' Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts and Strength & Conditioning classes.
I have been training Jiu Jitsu on and off for many years due to unrelated injuries and trust is a must for me while rolling. The Sound gives me that confidence and is understanding of my permanent injuries, the beauty of Jiu Jitsu is anyone can train and developed a style to work around any limitations.

The Sound Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program is a grappling art and self defense system that focusses on ground techniques and leverage to defeat a larger and aggressive opponent. Modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded by the Gracie family and is one of the fastest growing Martial arts today. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was popularized in the 1990's with the popularity of Mixed Martial Arts and the UFC.
The Sound Martial arts frequently hosts seminars by renown professionals and experts, follow our Facebook to keep up to date with all our latest seminars, competitions and events. Jeremy Kennedy will be doing a no-gi seminar from 6-7 pm followed by a kickboxing seminar from 7-8pm. Jeremy is currently undefeated and us 3-0 in the UFC.
The Sound's family oriented culture and environment offers kids a safe, friendly and fun way to be introduced and grow in the sport. Our goals with Kids BJJ is to teach our children values of respect, honour, dedication in the form of fun and fitness of Jiu Jitsu. Kids will be taught the fundamentals of the sport with easy to learn techniques, games, and interactive drills that will grow, change and help build confidence with each student.
Muay Thai Kickboxing is a contact sport originating from Thailand that involves various striking and clinching techniques. At the Sound we have adapted our program to suit various needs and goals, from fitness kickboxing to competitive Kickboxing and MMA. We're proud to have Kasey Smith, a champion martial artist, lead our program and train some of the Sea to Sky's best martial artist.
Made famous by the UFC in 1993, MMA has quickly become the fastest growing sport in the US that combines both striking and grappling techniques. Contrary to popular belief MMA is not full of bullies and 'meatheads', but rather athletes pursuing one of the most pure forms of competition. At The Sound, instructors and members train with a focus on discipline, character and development of mind and body that adhere to our values.

I came to the sound 3 years ago and felt completely at home from day one. The head coach/owner was friendly, welcoming and cared about my progress. He does not just promote student growth at the gym but personal growth outside the sound as well. Kasey personally invests in his fighters and students by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices that improve martial arts skills but more importantly, life skills. Over the recent months he seems most proud of his “right to play” program, youth classes as well working with the Squamish Nation. The Sound is a landmark of Squamish and Kasey put the town

2 and a half years ago, I was so nervous to join this gym. There was no reason to be - the Sound provides a fun, hardworking environment that welcomes all skill levels!! I am so glad I joined, this crew is now family and I get to learn from high quality instructors and train with great people every day.

I started training at The Sound almost 3 years ago and it has changed so many aspects in my life. I lead a much happier, healthier lifestyle since joining. The coaches and fellow students both push me to my limits and work as hard as I possibly can. Walking through those doors was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Stopped by The Sound for a drop in session with some friends, and we all had an absolute blast! Being a beginner, it makes me nervous to roll with people I don’t know, but I had nothing but a great experience. Everyone was so friendly and offered their advice and help while we rolled. Would love to come back again when I’m in area! The atmosphere is also so beautiful with the open doors at the back of the gym!

Great club with a great atmosphere and energy! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, not just for your first class, but every class. If you are new to the area like I was, the best thing you can do is get in for a trial week to see how you enjoy it - my bet is you will love it! Also - excellent regular seminars and great rolls to boot.
