Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn’t know Spanish and didn’t understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, “Why did you do that?”

Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.”

The journalist insisted, “But why did you let the Kenyan win?”

Ivan replied, “I didn’t let him win, he was going to win. The race was his.”

The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”

Ivan looked at him and replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my mother think of that?”

With our growth we were asked to joined the 12 x World Champions Alliance Jiu-Jitsu International Team. We have worked hard to bring the best in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the Okanagan. Since then we have had our team competitors win medal in local and international tournaments.

Our classes are for everyone form the absolute beginner, intermediate to advanced. Our classes are formatted for each level to help you reach your goals in a clear and fun manner. Alliance has produced some of the greatest champions in the world like Marcelo Garcia, Bruno Malfacini, Ruben”Cobrinha” Charles Maciel, Lucas Lepri, Gabby Garcia and many more.
