For a better understanding of the daily breakdown of lessons in our Fight Directors Canada Basic certification course, I've prepared this outline.

You may find this useful if you're a participant (starting tomorrow) or if you're considering signing up for September's session. (Online registration is now closed, but there are still spots in the session that begins tomorrow. If you would like to sign up, please give the front desk a call at 604-568-9907 and we’ll see if we can fit you in!)
