It was enough proof that if you don't know how to sprawl and brawl, you won't have shit against a grappler.

There were plenty of good Muay Thaih schools in Van. Gold Lion had some good fighters. As for grapplers, dude, I have no idea what you are talking about, Denis Kang fought out of BC, under Marcus Soares, the highest ranked BJJ Blackbelt in Canada. There's also a Gracie Barra school at Cocoon Athletics, as well as a host of BJJ schools in Langley, Richmond, etc.

You could find good fighters anywhere if you looked hard enough.
